edf.eset.com review
Used by eset products. Uses a bad cert which potentially allows for MITM, you can verify by opening the domain in a browser, is a cname to edfpcs.trafficmanager.net, and ultimately edf-pcs.cloudapp.net, in San Jose, United States, owned by microsoft. Routinely connects like a beacon. This domain must be blocked to activate eset with an offline key on a system that is connected to the net, as read here: https://help.eset.com/ela/en-US/faq.html
Blocking does not hinder functionality. Potential telemetry to be used by microsoft, domain "trafficmanager.net" suggests metrics/telem;
Azure Trafficmanager "Gets actionable insights based on user traffic volumes and patterns" https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/traffic-manager/
and "Create custom mobile experiences, build based on your customers’ interests and behavior using App Service and Azure Cosmos DB, Xamarin, HockeyApp, and Traffic Manager." https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/free/
Geographic fencing of your application users:
"Traffic Manager provides you with Geographic routing capabilities to ensure content localization and adherence to data sovereignty regulations. Applying geofencing allows users connecting from specific geographic regions to be routed to specific endpoints."
