Why is EngineLauncher causing LSASS to connect to godaddy.com?

My firewall is blocking an outbound IP connection request from the “Local Security Authority Process” application (system service) to IP 72.167.18.239 (p3plpkivs-v03.any.prod.phx3.secureserver.net) and the engine load stops at an “Error! No version information received” error.

What are you guys doing in the launcher that would trigger an IPC call over to LSASS and have it call out to such a strange IP address? I’m willing to grant apps like the UnrealEngine fairly open IP access, since I can then monitor the process’s file access activity if I want, but I’m not really too excited about opening a ring-0 process like LSASS to chitchat with GoDaddy.
