I was encrypting a file, and my firewall logged Toucan accessing my DNS server. Since I have no files on a network drive, why does Toucan need this access?

it is because the encryption system that Toucan uses generates a seed value and for part of this is uses the hostname, which causes the DNS request, a more detailed answer can be found at the end of this page:
