Description

I noticed unexpected network activity from AmneziaVPN immediately after macOS startup.

According to Little Snitch Network Monitor, the AmneziaVPN process accesses / resolves:

blocked.tinkoff.ru

This happens right after macOS starts, before I open a browser or any other application except AmneziaVPN.

I would like to understand why the AmneziaVPN client is causing network activity related to these domains.

Configuration

OS: macOS
AmneziaVPN starts automatically with macOS
VPN protocol: AmneziaWG 3.1
Two VPN servers configured
Split tunneling: disabled
Network monitor: Little Snitch
Client version 5.0.1.5

Questions

Is this expected behavior?

If so, what part of the AmneziaVPN client is responsible for accessing or resolving blocked.tinkoff.ru, and what is the purpose of this request?
