Taking a moment's reflection, BackGrounD Software Inc. mused:

| Majority of the stand-alone firewalls (i.e. personal or pro versions aimed
| for the end consumer/home PC) will call back home (i.e. try to connect to
| some sort of licensing log or marketing demographics or whatever).
| The product, naturally, will not prevent that "special" traffic.

    One would think that if you are trusting software to protect your
system, you would trust its own generated traffic. If you don't, you
shouldn't be using the software in the first place.
