All I can say, the IP addresses belong to a content delivery system.
That might probably VLC fetching some input item meta data - there is a
setting to enable/disable that in the preferences.
What exactly is this, is hard to say without a packet capture. However,
the socket is evidently leaking to child processes, which means it is
not marked with the close-on-exec flag. VLC code ALWAYS marks sockets as
close-on-exec. So this particular connection is probably made by an
underlying library rather than VLC itself. Or you're using a very old
release.
