Hi,
Here you nail pin the problem of big structures, the lack of communication between the different responsibilities:
We Unix people never get clear answers from security team or network team, it is you that have to show the others the issue, and its cause before they take into account, mainly because in the case of DNS and proxies e.g they see no problems with Window servers when you are trying something on your lan that is not working as expected it becomes a nightmare having to test things that are not in your hands like the network it goes with trying a similar config on 2 other servers, if it works there, try to figure out what can be the culprit... In other words you have to suggest ( because never a good idea to blame the others for not doing their work seriously...) by showing the case that works and the one that doesnt that it may be a misconfiguration of a port in a switch as you have already changed the cabling with new and not more success... or are you filtered? etc...
I suggest you look with the Windows server team to see if they also have the same issue, and work together to try to explain at the Network team the issue

padre::plugin::popularitycontest
Padre::Plugin::PopularityContest(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Padre::Plugin::PopularityContest(3pm)
NAME
Padre::Plugin::PopularityContest - The Padre Popularity Contest
DESCRIPTION
The Padre Popularity Contest is a plug-in that collects various information about your Padre installation as it runs, and reports that
information over the Internet to a central server.
The information collected from the Popularity Contest plug-in is used by the development team to track the adoption rate of different
features, to help set the default configuration values, and to prioritise development focus.
In other words, to make life better for you in the next release, and the ones after that.
What information will we collect?
At the moment, the following information is collected:
Run time of Padre (Time between start and exit of Padre)
Type of operating system (platform only: Windows, Linux, Mac, etc.)
Padre version number
Perl, Wx and wxWidgets version numbers
Number of times each menu option is used (directly or via shortcut or toolbar)
MIME type of files (like "text/plain" or "application/perl") which are opened in Padre
In addition, a random process ID for Padre is created and transmitted just to identify multiple reports from a single running instance of
Padre. It doesn't match or contain your OS process ID but it allows us to count duplicate reports from a single running copy only once. A
new ID is generated each time you start Padre and it doesn't allow any identification of you or your computer.
The following information may be added sooner or later:
Enabled/disabled features (like: are tool tips enabled or not?)
Selected Padre language
I feel observed.
Disable this module and no information would be transmitted at all.
All information is anonymous and can't be tracked to you, but it helps the developer team to know which functions and features are used and
which aren't.
This is an open source project and you're invited to check what this module does by just opening Padre/Plugin/PopularityContest.pm and
check that it does.
What information WON'T we collect?
There are some things we can be very clear about.
1. We will NEVER begin to collect information of any kind without you first explicitly telling us we are allowed to collect that type of
information.
2. We will NEVER copy any information that would result in a violation of your legal rights, including copyright. That means we won't
collect, record, or transmit the contents of any file.
3. We will NEVER transmit the name of any file, or the cryptographic hash of any file, or any other unique identifier of any file, although
we may need to record them locally as index keys or for optimisation purposes.
3. We will NEVER transmit any information that relates to you personally unless you have given it to us already (in which case we'll only
send an account identifier, not the details themselves).
4. We will NEVER transmit any information about your operating system, or any information about your network that could possibly compromise
security in any way.
5. We will take as much care as we can to ensure that the collection, analysis, compression and/or transmission of your information
consumes as little resources as possible, and we will in particular attempt to minimize the resource impact while you are actively coding.
Finally, if you really don't trust us (or you aren't allowed to trust us because you work inside a secure network) then we encourage you to
delete this plug-in entirely.
