POV) You use Windows 11 and set up Pihole for the first time.

This is AFTER debloating all the MS bs as much as I can.
The amount of MS telemetry is just mindboggling.
While telemetry is bad the problem here is probably that this windows service pings the server but doesn't get a response because it got stuck in your pihole. So it tries to pings again and again and again and again...
Same thing when you block something with ublock. It's an annoying user-unfriendly practice. Google does the same thing
Retry with exponential back off would not produce a large number of requests.
The best solution would be to disable telemetry to the capacity you are capable or is possible without breaking something and block pings as backup to when it's enabled again with updates and repeat.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking..
Exponential backoff is baked in most libraries. So probably not.
Sure but if they're trying to send new requests while the others are still retrying, then it will result in the same thing
Is there a service whit which you can automatially send fake answers to certain events?
Teams no linger does that. It just goes to an error page if it fails to load twice
