Here's how to Block Windows 10 "Spying"

I have gathered from different sources the sites that Windows 10 use to send informations collected from your computer.

You just need to go into: Web Protection -> Web Filtering -> Policies -> Default content filter action

The proxy will not automatically do reverse DNS and when it sees an IP check to see if the domain is blocked.

However if this is true you should be able to see the proxy sending stuff to IPs, determine them and block them. If this is true that windows 10 has a "hardcoded list" then I would presume someone can figure them out and publish them.

Info:
I had the problem with the list, that my windows machines get the yellow exclamationmark on their network icon in taskbar. This is beacause they can't reach this URL: http://www.msftncsi.com/ncsi.txt [8-)]

After removing the two entrys with msftncsi.com problem solved.

Concerning sO.2mdn.net; when doing nslookup, it doesn't resolve, but replacing the "O" with a zero resolves s0-2mdn-net.l.google.com (216.58.219.102). Was this intentional?
