Description of problem: gst is a stress test, so there is no expectation that it would connect to the internet, yet that is what gst does during normal operation. Users should be notified when an app is going to connect to the internet and be asked for explicit consent, if the app is not expected to access the internet. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gst-0:0.7.2-1.fc31.noarch How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: Run "strace -f -o /tmp/strace2.txt gst" and look for network-related system calls. or Start wireshark before running gst. Actual results: Connects to internet. Expected results: Does not connect to the internet without explicit notification and consent of user.
