  • Hacker News
  • Interesting, it blocks 3 out of my 4 domains. One of the blocked ones is over a year old.

    2 (1 blocked, 1 not) use Cloudflare for DNS. The other 2 use porkbun.

  • Yeah really annoying and you just don't know if you aren't on an xfinity router
  • Most useful thanks! I found 3/5 of my sites blocked including my startup website. However on adding www to the url they were reported as not blocked. I requested a review on the non www urls anyway . Shared on my X for what its worth ( small account )
  • Mine is not on any of the lists yet it's blocked on Xfinity. Fun!
  • This is the problem for using email blacklists for non-email purposes. They're barely good for email at that.
  • yeah and they're super outdated. the one that blocked us was SURBL that have no way to contact them besides a form
