12897070056: WPAD is pretty noisy

I was playing around with tinyproxy earlier today and when I was done with it I made a mistake while setting the connection settings back to no proxy I set it to Auto-Detect instead.

Approximately four and a half hours later I looked at my DNS recent queries and noticed that my Debian Linux VM was looking for a wpad file. At first I thought that somehow I installed something for wpad but I didn't remember any apt install wpad or anything even resembling wpad, I was just about to start a Google search for which package came with this abomination it occurred to me that maybe I should look at FireFox first and that's when I found my mistake.

One of the thing's I found interesting was how many times it queried my network for the dreaded wpad file, In about four and a half hour's it was 228 time's.

The other thing I found interesting was why I thought a proxy server would be looking for a wpad file. 😊
