    aigle,

    I don't think it's necessary to "allow" it to call home. I believe it checks the "version you are using" and will suggest updates (manually). Also it's a parent to your browser to check application status on WhatsRunning.net.
    Personally, I allow it "limited" DNS activity.

    hth,

    aigle - on the top toolbar on the right of the main page it says "updater". Click that to check for updates. :)
