Every time I have installed syncthing I start receiving incoming network connections immediately. The first one is usually from Florida and the second one from Germany. Then other countries follow.

What are these incoming network connections from? None of those are aimed at the standard open port for syncthing.

That make sense. I see that the originating port for all of those IPs is 22067. So perhaps this is the reply to my syncthing install original request to the relay. What threw me off was that I could not find any of those IPs on the relay map.
