What external connections do the java clients make?

The OMERO java clients try to connect to our update server, to check if you have the latest software. The address of our update server is qa.openmicroscopy.org.uk and it is looked up using your DNS. The IP addresses is not used directly.

OMERO.editor has the option to load protocols and sample files from the internet. These either come from our site or from the URL specified by the user.

Other than that the only connections are to your OMERO server, the address for these is entered at login.
