Does anybody knows why cinnamon try to connects somewhere to these following IPs. There are no browser connection. No network applet. no applets running. Just idle system . 192.241.187.136:443 IP is always there. What does this mean and how to block it? thanks!
netstat -nputw
Active Internet connections (w/o servers)

Re: strange IP connections in Cinnamon
192.241.187.136 is openweathermap. Are you sure you haven't got the weather applet or desklet active?

Re: strange IP connections in Cinnamon
yes absolutely. I switched it off. thinking that it maybe it.
if you try http://18.213.160.206/ it just gives you a smile face
192.241.245.161 -is Digital Ocean - but what it is and why its there. Fresh intsall

Re: strange IP connections in Cinnamon
If you switch either the weather applet or desklet off the connection will remain until you restart Cinnamon. It's not enough to just remove the applet or the desklet.
The other two IPs in your OP are who.is domains. Not sure what you are running to see those.
192.241.245.161 also resolves to openweathermap

Re: strange IP connections in Cinnamon
The first is Amazon, and is probably the connection for the OP's update mirror. That is a guess, but could be tested by changing mirrors and rebooting to see if both it and the weather one disappear.

Re: strange IP connections in Cinnamon
I've just wasted about 3 hours trying to figure out the same thing.
The PIDs were showing as cinnamon --replace
and nothing relative under ps aux --forest view
It's really hard to track down TCP connections for cinnamon.
lsof doesn't really show WHAT is creating the stream!
I got lucky and found this post.
Ranges:
104.26.0.0/24
192.241.0.0/24
I disabled the applet and restarted cinnamon and confirmed it in netstat
Applet back on:
