That is, these 14 domain calls happend, on average, less then a second before or after the original request of the selected domain. Close temporal proximity and high occurrence counts are both indicators for domain correlation. Results are sorted by a ranking index (__9.__) which strikes a balance between the two.

For each connection, AppCheck looks into the DNS headers only, namely the domain names. These domain names are logged in the background while the VPN is active. That means, AppCheck does not have to be active in the foreground. You can close the app and come back later to see the results.
