Connectivity Check and Tracking

Get Help
1

Hi, just got a Pi to set up Octoprint. What am I supposed to do in regard to Enable/Disable Connectivity Check? Is it safe to use the default Host IP and Port? If not, is it better to enter some random numbers?

Also, is it recommended to enable or disable Tracking?

Just click with the given numbers

The Connectivity Check tests the ability to access the internet. The default IP of 8.8.8.8 is one of Google's DNS servers and port 53 is the standard DNS port. Both are very safe to use.

I believe most people will recommend enabling Anonymous Usage Tracking. Aiding in the improvement OctoPrint is, IMO, a good thing.
