theoldschool Posted March 26, 2020 ID:1369042 Share Posted March 26, 2020 I run 2 webservers (abyss) on 2 PCs - both with home weather stations. One is on port 80 and the other on port 8000 - if I access the PC just using my top level domain (i.e. http port 80) via Firefox 74.0 if connects fine but if I try and access the other PC on port 8000 Browser Guard blocks me with the message "Website blocked due to a suspicious top level domain (TLD)". The TLD is the same in both cases so why is it being blocked on port 8000 but not on port 80? Any suggestions anybody? Link to post
theoldschool Posted March 26, 2020 Author ID:1369044 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Just discovered that if I type my domain name it accesses my site OK but if I type my domain IP address it blocks me! Link to post

gonzo Posted March 27, 2020 ID:1369407 Share Posted March 27, 2020 We show extreme caution on the non-standard TLDs. info/cc/xyz, etc. They get misused way too often. Link to post

gonzo Posted July 31, 2020 ID:1398230 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Chrome cache continually makes me unhappy. Clearing it usually does the trick. Link to post
ABQDANJ Posted October 9, 2020 ID:1412979 Share Posted October 9, 2020 It has been reported that Browser Guard is giving a false positive on https://www.alumknights.info/ with the message "Website blocked due to a suspicious top level domain (TLD)". We ran a VirusTotal.com check on our website and it came up clean. Could this URL be double-checked and whitelisted if possible?

A note on Website blocked due to a suspicious top level domain (TLD) Non-standard TLD's (biz/cc/info/xyz/online and so on) are commonly used for malicious purposes. Malwarebytes err on the side of caution to assure that we are protecting our users. If our users encounter a block, they report it (as you did), it gets tested, and if it is determined to be safe, it gets whitelisted. Link to post
