For the new ones reading this, i installed a new clean linux lite installation, in a different vm, with internet access from the start, and the answer is that the canonical UK connection one is another NTP protocol as the Regional NTP protocole one i mentioned before(the "University" server, thats just a server that a Universtity here in my country uses to serve open source NTP connections, you can read more about the NTP initiative on wiki if youre interested), is a normal connection that some distros or OS do in order to update correctly their internal clocks. As an example, sometimes the browser navigators(as chrome, firefox or brave), give errors when the internal computer or OS time isnt right, and one of the reasons of it is because the NTP protocol isnt working propertly(Or sometimes is just an program that have to be updated eg: you have an old version of chrome or firefox, etc and needs to be updated).So for that is needed the NTP protocol connection.Theres not a telemetry per se connection, nor a data connection, just an update internal clock/time connection.The reason debian and arch doesnt do it by default(in arch one has to disabled the network first helper connection), is because they do it from time to time, not inmediately when one is connected to the internet. Theres some advantages and disadvantages for that. But for most people is important that the OS make a first NTP connection in order to keep all the programs updated and up and running(mostly the ones that needs internet as the example i did previously with the browsers).Edited 1: In arch one must first disable the network automatic connection one, in order to "not make" any outside innecesary connections, and in this case, most people dont do this, so if you see some outside connections there, is just a network protocol that you can disable if you want.LTDR:So, case closed, the two outside connections are just NTP protocol connections that is required in all OS(in this case Distros), in order to function properly with the internet and some apps and programs. Some distros make it automatically some make it just when one open a browser or press the update button, or if theres some programed updates too.
Well you didn't really ask a question but formed it more like an accusation, and one that now clutters the forum, so yes you created a stupid and falsely founded meme with your reference "phoning home". I gave you a simple first step test answer, but did you bother to try changing mirrors and run a new scan? There are very easy ways to track down what's actually connecting to your computer already included in Linux Lite other than wireshark. TC
Try a different mirror. By the way wireshark itself could be causing the connection depending on your actual location. Nothing is phoning home. Stop with the stupid meme. QuoteI dont understandYou're right you don't. The only thing you can honestly assume is that you're not going pull a TLD cruncher in a scan without a reason. Most likely location is the issue. Try a different mirror.TC
I dont understand
QuoteWhat element of Linux lite is Ubuntu providing support?This command will show the repositories.Code: [Select]inxi -rQuotehow were you so sure about that any Operating system has to be phonin home when is connected to the internet Your original query asked for a way to stop ALL outgoing connections from the system. There can be no outgoing connections if the Internet is not connected. This would include outgoing telemetry if present, but nothing about telemetry should be inferred.QuoteIm trying to understand the online connections of the systemYou have the tools to determine exactly what your system is doing.

QuoteSo why debian and arch doesnt have a home server connection even when connected to the internet?Someone who uses debian or arch may be able to help answer this.Quotearent the linux lite updates filtered and provided by the linux lite mantainers?, why have to be connected directly from canonical?Specific Linux Lite software is provided by Linux Lite. Linux Lite is based on Ubuntu LTS so the canonical repositories provide support for that element of Linux Lite.

https://about.rdap.org/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Registration_Data_Access_ProtocolBasically assures against privacy invasion. Good not bad.TC
QuoteWhy is that?Difficult to be sure with the information provided, could be the canonical server traffic is related to checking for and downloading updates.How are you identifying the traffic is 'telemetry' ?Quotehow can i remove those connections?Consider using an external independent firewall to control traffic.Quotesome way i can make it very vanilla without any outgoing connectionsTo stop all outgoing connections disconnect the system from the internet.
Why is that?
how can i remove those connections?
