Qtorrent connects to port 22 on *.*.*.*.bc.googleusercontent.com

LSIO Discussion Container Support

My IPS/IPD gateway has blocked outgoing connections to port 22. I have traced them down and confirm they were originated from from my qbittorrent container from image pulled from latest. It has been ongoing for awhile with previous latest images as well. The destination hosts are all bearing ....bc.googleusercontent.com domains.

My questions are:

  1. Any chance that they legitimate? Like some random bittorrent clients running on port 22?
  2. Is my container compromised?

Thanks in advance.

There’s a chance this is legit if this just checking for software updates but also, you probably should shut down your container and see if it happens with a fresh one.

Thanks a ton for the answer.

I have just pulled a new image this morning when a new tag was released but a new outgoing connect was still made this afternoon. Let me check with qbittorrent developers.
