From the NightOwl TOS:


> •WHEREAS, NightOwl app enables Users to share internet traffic by modifying their device's network settings to be used as a gateway for internet traffic. Additionally, the User's device acts as a gateway for NightOwl app's Clients, including companies that specialize in web and market research, SEO, brand protection, content delivery, cybersecurity, etc.



I'd recommend nuking the app.

Do you have NightOwl installed? I believe I noticed this Login Item after NightOwl was updated today (for me). I didn't really like the feel of the whole thing and all the requirements I needed to grant NightOwl during the installation; so I uninstalled it.


The .plist for this was located in /Users/<username>/Library/LaunchAgents
