Security finding

A link leads to a domain that filtering DNS resolvers refuse

Security Info Severity: Medium

Part of the audit Outbound link safety. Finding id: security.outboundFlaggedByResolver.

What it costs you

Visitors behind a filtering resolver, such as many schools, offices and home networks, cannot follow the link. If the filter is right, the target may be unsafe.

What to do

Open the link with care and look at what the target is. Replace or remove it if it is unsafe or not what you linked to.

What it checks

  • Link to a domain blocked by safety filters

How to fix it

Check the target and replace or remove the link

  1. Look up [group key] on the lists of the filters named above, and read why it is listed.
  2. If it is unsafe or unwanted, remove the link. If it is a false positive, ask the filter's operator to review it.

How to check: Recrawl: no filtering resolver refuses [group key].
