title: ASP.NET Core constant requests to home controller
body: <p>I have an ASP.NET Core MVC application hosted on Google Compute Engine, and when I check the logs, it seems that <code>www.mysite.com/home/index</code> is constantly being requested even though I am not searching that URL in my browser and nobody else knows the actual URL. Why is this? I am concerned that it may be interfering with some of my processes. </p>
  
  <p>I am running the app on Windows Server 2016 and I often Remote Desktop into it. Could either of these be the reason behind the logs I am getting?</p>

  <p>This seems to pretty much repeat itself endlessly.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
