Good luck with your project, it sounds interesting.

FYI, your domain is blocked by Cisco Umbrella (OpenDNS) as "This site is blocked due to a security threat that was discovered by the Cisco Umbrella security researchers." Not sure why, you might want to contact them.



Thanks for the heads up. That's fascinating. Has anyone else ran into this before?


I ran into it this as well and the response from the folks running our block list said it triggered a "newly seen across all of OpenDNS" heuristic. This matches other similar blocks I've seen for newly registered gTLD domains.

Seems that this is the relevant documentation: https://support.umbrella.com/hc/en-us/articles/235911828-New...


Complete wild guess, but maybe it's because it matches an aggressive regex meant to match the pirate bay and derivatives.


Random cisco employee I annoedon IRC blocked my domain once, I complained to another cisco employee on another IRC and the block was promptly removed.

I don’t think they have much oversight over this stuff.


Probably just a tainted IP from Digital Ocean.
