Hi,

Why does Lazarus 2.0.0RC try to contact a DNS server on startup? And is there a way to disable this? Ideally, there would be a pop-up the first time it wants to do this asking whether it's okay and if not, store that as a preference and not do it anymore in the future.

I think it is caused by the OPM (online package manager). WIth Lazarus 2.0.0RC3 Lazarus will honour the setting Never and Lazarus will not try to connect to packages.lazarus-ide.org to download a list of available packages.
The behaviour is configurable in Lazarus. Please open OPM(/Lazarus -> Menu-->Packages-->Online Package Manager/), then go to /Options-->Check

for Package Updates/ and select /Never/
