How do you people prevent Daz from phoning home? Windows Firewall or other measures? Do you still use DIM or do you install manually?

I use Windows Firewall to block it right now. I also install stuff manually anymore; I haven't bought anything at DAZ in many months, all my recent purchases are here, but I'm looking hard as to whether or not it's worth it to keep buying licenses for any DAZ/Poser content if I'm going to be forced into moving to Blender or using my drawing tablet.

As a note, if I'd been forced to throw out the four computers I moved to Linux, I would have basically committed to removing their functions in the house entirely - most of them are used for media, gaming, or craft hobby purposes, and I can't justify spending money to maintain those features in separate machines in the house right now, not when that money should go to other things.
