TeamViewer_Service wants to connect to many different IPs
« on: January 09, 2014, 10:47:43 AM »
I recently started monitoring Network traffic with Little Snitch on Mavericks.

When idle, I see many worrisome instances of TeamViewer_Service wanting to connect to various IPs I do not know. Is this normal? It looks dangerous to me.

Did you do a 'whois' search on them.

The few I checked were teamviewer servers in various global locations.

Teamviewer needs to 'heartbeat' to be able to connect or be connected to
