Disable Telemetry by default

Open ex3ndr opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

It turns out that mytonctrl sends telemetry by default without asking. TON is have built in anonymization and this effectively negates it.

Yes, it is written about it in README.md section Functional: https://github.com/igroman787/mytonctrl/blame/master/README.md#L44

By default, mytonctrl sends validator statistics to the server https://toncenter.com This is necessary to identify anomalies in the network, as well as to quickly respond to developers.

The following data is sent:

  1. adnl
  2. validator status (is process is running, unixtime, masterchainblocktime)
  3. cpu number
  4. cpu load average
  5. network load average
  6. transactions per second (TPS)
  7. used version of repositories
  8. stake (if assigned)

To disable telemetry during installation, use the -t flag:

sudo bash install.sh -m <mode> -t

To disable telemetry after installation:

MyTonCtrl> set sendTelemetry false
