Hi,

pretty old post, but, the issue is stil here.
I recently bought some cameras. I'm still waiting for the parcel, delivery is planned tomorrow. OK, I downloaded the APP directly from Reolink website, installed it and ...
Immediate connections attempt to home-cdn.reolink.us and apis.reolink.com via http proxy without permission. It's unacceptable for security products.
Next - excessive DNS queries. My Android phone has no access to DNS server. It doesn't need DNS because of it's connected to private networks only. Couldn't get rid of the queries. Netd and Reolink app itself consumes 100% CPU.

I'm sorry, Reolink, but I really don't wish to share private data

Solution: using MuntashirAkon AppManager disable trackers and unwanted activities in the app (root required)
activities:

• cloud update activity
• share video activity
• support centre activity
• config cloud stream activity
• login account activity
• cloud update device activity
• facebook activity
• sign in hub activity
• google API activity

services:

• app measurement job service
• app measurement service
• firebase instance id service
• firebase messaging service

receivers:

• app measurement install referrer receiver
• app measurement receiver

providers:

• facebook init provider
• firebase init provider

App looks working, no DNS queries. We'll see tomorrow when I'll get the cameras.

Best
Petr
