I recently installed NoRoot firewall in my Android device to get more control over network traffic.

Now I see suspicious attempts to connect from the Android Maps application to other hosts in the network on port 443, none of them Google servers.

These hosts are other clients on my same ISP subnet.

Any idea what this is?

install it again and properly shut it down then reinstall. Or if you phone is rooted go to system/etc/ using any root explorer and delete "hosts" file.
