hooooly shit you are so deluded. 'data stream' and 'cloud connection' are you fucking serious. 'cloud' is a term for virtualized guest OSes, extensible storage, load balancing, and fault tolerance. there is no fucking 'cloud connection' it's ARPing, IP, protocols, transport layer, DNS, application layer. trojan advertisements are you fucking serious. holy fucking shit if i ever see your dumb ass in the candidate bucket at -my- job you are a strong fucking no fucking hire GET OUT

If there is no connection, then how is income data entering from the Internet inside your PC? Magic?
Maybe your firewall is letting it pass because you just sent a request to that site and it allows all new data from that site entering inside your firewall. You punched a hole in your firewall defense that would not have been there when you used a none-cloud application instead.

incoming data from the Internet is always coming in aimed at either a listening service, or an ephemeral port.
windows firewall - and most other OS-level firewalls - are stateful and allow a connection, once opened on an ephemeral port, to stay open as long as it's kept alive (until the keepalive timout is reached without any KA being sent by the client) or until either side hits the client or server timeout.
there is no hole punched in a firewall. it's software interacting, or coming online on an ip address listening for incoming TCP/UDP on a specific port
you would be implying that the system is reaching out to the Internet to push data to a remote system.
which is possible, and validated via packet capture.
