In LibreOffice 7.5.4.2, LanguageTool tries to phone home even when it is explicitly disabled. It does so when the application is launched. Steps to reproduce: - assuming Tools > Options > Language Settings > LanguageTool server > Enable LanguageTool is ticked - untick - hit Apply/Ok - close every LibreOffice window - open an office document or launch a LibreOffice component (Writer, Calc...) Expected results: - No connection to LanguageTool server detected - Application loads fast Actual results: - LibreOffice still tries to connect to api.languagetool.org. It looks like a DNS request (UDP 53) - Application loading time is affected I'm not here to discuss whether LanguageTool integration in LibreOffice is a good thing or not. I think that when a user disables LanguageTool, this module should be totally disabled and should not try to initiate any outbound connection.
On which Linux distrib (+version) are you? What command do you use (I tried with "ss" on Debian) and could you copy paste the output line of it showing "api.languagetool.org" (or its ip) ?

Linux distribution is Kubuntu 22.04. I didn't used any command. The connection attempt was detected by Opensnitch (an application firewall), then blocked. See previous attachment.
Thank you for the feedback. I tried to install opensnitch but it requires a dependency which may cause some pb on my machine so I'll put it back to UNCONFIRMED since I don't have more questions.
Ok I was wrong, it was just a package that I don't usually use so I'll be able to remove it later when I'll uninstall opensnitch. I could indeed reproduce this.

Please find attached a tcpdump. I don't know if it's useful, I just searched for a way to monitor connections in realtime.
I forgot to tell I could reproduce this with LO Debian testing package 7.4.5.1 On pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated today, I don't reproduce this. wonder if 9aca8e1333393af69972450d5e7e924cdfed4269 "Use officecfg instead of SvxLanguageToolOptions" may have helped here or if I missed something. Would it be possible you test a daily build from 7.6 or master (future 24.2) branch?
Sorry, this is a production workstation, I don't want to mess things around with a beta version...
