What is the “studentd” process?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
I'm logging network traffic (with Radio Silence), and noticed that the studentd process from /usr/libexec/studentd is connecting to some server.
What is this process doing, why does it need internet access?

studentd manages the Classroom experience for students. The manual page also says it is designed to run without classes configured, so I would allow the traffic so that it knows you aren’t needing management and then sits idle.
Unless there’s a resource issue, you have thousands of processes that run, self configure and then sleep or wait for a task.
That’s how Unix and all of the Apple os work. Make small hardened daemons to serve narrow purposes and manage them as needed if there is a resource or usage issue.
This process will connect to very specific servers, so you can know it’s talking to Apple or to your MDM server in all likelihood. We would need details to dig into that deeper.
