Studio spamming DNS requests to blocked domains

When you have a DNS server active (Pihole, AdGuard Home, etc) which has any Roblox domain blocked, Studio will repeatedly make requests to the domain, which results in crazy amounts of spam.

Expected behavior

If a DNS error such as ENAMEUNRESOLVED is returned, please just disable networking to the stalking domains so it does not create mass spam like this.

I would honestly expect this behaviour regardless, not like they’ll change it anyway, it’s a non-issue and only specific to someone with a specific setup which isn’t particularly really that common. If they’re more willing to fix this than stuff like Linux I’ll be genuinely shocked; when we signed up to use the dev tools, we probably silently also signed up to being tracked to know what goes on with it, so it’s quite ok for them to just try to see what’s going on by phoning home. But that’s just my opinion

I’m not asking for them to remove the spying, I simply want them to stop trying to do DNS requests on it multiple times a minute because it really adds up.

By the looks, very roughly, it’s like 30 second intervals between attempts; it is still weird that they don’t seem to be using exponential back off, though, so I agree on it. The API shouldn’t be spammed like this if it were properly written!
