Hosts: NVIDIA GeForce Experience telemetry not blocked

Created on 3 Apr 2019  路  7Comments  路  Source: StevenBlack/hosts

Hi y'all:

Just noticed that telemetry.gfe.nvidia.com is not blocked by this list or any of the other lists Pi-hole uses. Probably a good candidate to add to the list!

I guess there is a reason for that.If you using GeForce Experience some of the features will stop working without it(i've seen complaints in the past).
If you not using it,just unzip(unrar) the .exe and get rid of the whole telemetry folder before install the driver.

Just following up on this one( i felt that i had to).Well...looks like as of their latest driver 430.39 Nvidia baked up their telemetry deep into the driver and whatever worked in the past(unrar+remove some of the folders),does not anymore. Plan B is to block the reporting domains but i'm still not sure if there will be any side effects for whoever is using GeForce Experience.I don't use it personally and i blocked them on my end and so far so good.More feedback is needed if Steven @StevenBlack decide to add them,for sure.Attaching here screenshot from the created Nvidia telemetry log,which points all the domains for reference and testing:

NV telemetry seems to be necessary for updating profiles especially with their new AI features.

new domains or some might say...addition:

Everybody happy if I close this?
