Info! If you see api.amplitude.com being rejected by your firewall or proxy, this is the statistics engine of the client attempting to upload anonymous usage information. It can be disabled individually per client or system-wide with the PRODUCT_USAGE_ANALYTICS=NO switch. The installed client may need to be deleted from the system(s) before installing the App again.
