I have created a few posts with featured images on my blog. Since this is self-hosted installation, I was more than sure, that all my files were upload to my server / hosting. But to my extreme surprise, when checking source I have found, that they're served from Wordpress.com (example code: <img src="http://i0.wp.com/BLOGDOMAIN/files/2015/08/FILENAME.png">) instead of for example http://BLOGDOMAN/files/2015/08/FILENAME.png.

What am I missing? How can my private, self-hosted blog post anything to Wordpress.com? I've never agreed for something like this. I'm a privacy maniac and the only reason for spending hours on setting own, self-hosted blog network was, that I don't want to have anything related to Wordpress.com.

Can someone enlighten me, what is causing this strange (at least to me) behavior of my self-hosted blog? Is this some magic in theme that I use or a hidden feature of Jetpack? Is there any way to disable this? Can I have my private, self-hosted blog network really private and prevent it from sending or uploading anything to Wordpress.com?

Photon is the part of jetpack that uploads your images to wordpress.com so they can be served from their CDN. You can turn it off here: yourdomain.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=jetpack_modules&module_tag=Photos%20and%20Videos
