stop capture trying to connect to the internet

[cayennep]

I don't want the news and connection, for either flare or capture, when running this from home. I'm on a vm and when I turn on my work vpn on the windoze side, it blocks internet connection. Need the vpn to use/capture/doc the software.

Most programs allow this to be turned off, but I don't see this anywhere.

any help, as ever, appreciated, thx!

As far as I recall this connection is also used to check the licensing. I am not entirely sure what exactly the issue is. Does it try to go through the VPN to your work computer and that path does not allow for Internet connection?
