Hello!
So i discovered that the plugin_host process (linux) seems to make a network connection to 45.55.41.223:80 (www.sublimetext.com). Or actually, i have never been able to catch it transmitting any data, but the process has a connection in state CLOSE_WAITING as soon as i have started sublime. What is that about?? Spyware? Hope not:)
I have not installed any plugins at all. I have just now installed v3.0 build 3143.

Two reasons why Sublime would talk home at startup are:
To see if there is a new version available or not; you can trigger this from the Help menu, but the same check is also done at startup unless you have a licensed copy and you’ve set update_check to false in your user preferences.
Sublime transmits a hash of your license information back to the home server at startup to validate whether or not it’s a valid license (e.g. to detect if your license key was leaked or if you purchased a license and then got a refund).

You are right!
I dont know wht i did wrong before (likely a typo), but i couldnt get tcpdump to print any of the network traffic at all.
Now i suddenly see it simply does
GET /updates/3/stable/updatecheck?version=3143&platform=linux&arch=x64&r=1&m=X… HTTP/1.0
Thanks!
