By default Faddom does not collect external data. This is done so your maps do not get flooded with unnecessary connections (e.g. web searches, API calls etc.). In some circumstances, enabling it for one or more subnets may be preferred or even required. By default, the column Collect external traffic shows an X indicating that external traffic is not mapped.
