Radices on "[Plugin: Wordfence Security] FeedJit IP pounding on my server?"

Ok found the source of the traffic. Still don't now why Wordfence would be trying to phone home constantly on different ports and hitting each port twice. noc3.wordfence.com = 69.46.36.10 Maybe I should just remove the function and see what breaks ... be easier if the author would simply explain it.

private static function wfsnIsBlocked($IP, $type){
		try {
			$curl = curl_init('http://noc3.wordfence.com:9050/hackAttempt/?k=' . wfConfig::get('apiKey') . '&IP=' . wfUtils::inet_aton($IP) . '&t=' . $type );
			curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 3);
			curl_setopt ($curl, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Wordfence.com UA " . (defined('WORDFENCE_VERSION') ? WORDFENCE_VERSION : '[Unknown version]') );
			curl_setopt ($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
			curl_setopt ($curl, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
			curl_setopt ($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
			curl_setopt ($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false);
			curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, false);
			$result = curl_exec($curl);
			if(preg_match('/BLOCKED:(\d+)/', $result, $matches) && (! self::getLog()->isWhitelisted($IP)) ){
				return $matches[1];
			}
			return false;
		} catch(Exception $err){
			return false;
		}
	}
