I'm using Windows and only asking here because Google says it's a Linux thing, but my question is what is a Bluez and why was it trying to connect to my computer at 5AM this morning?

  • It very well could be a neighbor with a Linux computer. As others have said, bluez is the name of a Linux Bluetooth controller. Bluetooth can have surprising range, and if you're in an apartment, that'd be my first guess. It could be just a passive scan for devices the OS is doing.

    A large number of smart devices run Linux. A second guess is, have you acquired any devices recently with WiFi? I have a wireless camera that I know is running Linux.
