Is blocking "dd.vinted.lt" a false positive?
"Ads & Trackers - Balanced" blocks “dd.vinted.lt.” This is a domain associated with Vinted, a secondhand marketplace. I can’t understand what this domain is used for simply searching on Google, but many times Vinted asks me to complete CAPTCHAs or similar tasks to prove I’m not a robot while using ControlD.
False positive
The page https://jeffnippard.com/pages/quiz doesn’t seem to load, even when I use the lightest filters. I couldn’t figure out how to resolve it from the analytics.
Request for a “News” Filter Feature
Dear team,
False positives
techcrunch.com is being blocked by the Games Filter.
Add Claude and Gemini as Services
With the new “Artificial Intelligence” filter, it effectively blocks all those websites that are rightly of little use. However, there is a price to pay, as it also blocks useful sites, such as ChatGPT.
Bluesky is flagged as phising
The Phising filter is flagging BlueSky (https://bsky.app) as a phising site, which it obviously isn't.
How long does it take ControlD to effect a change?
All of a sudden Bluesky social network https://bsky.app/ and cdn.bsky.app stopped function because they were on the Phishing filter list. I added rules for these two items to be bypassed and did a ipconfig /flushdns on Windows10 here but I still could not connect. I tried unselecting the Phishing filter and deactivating Control D via the Profile Disable. It made no difference. I gave up and came back an hr later and could use BlueSky.
Disabled ControlDNS for now
Over the past weekend, I had multiple issues that appear to have been caused by ControlDNS. In 2024 some of us still use IRC connections via mIRC and on Dec 7th my connection to a server that I have been using since 1999 went down. I thought nothing of it then because services had issues in the past. That is until I contacted some via email informing them of the issue and finding out they had no problem. Nothing in the block list showed any connection being blocked for this IRC server. I disabled all filters and that did not have an effect. Only when I put in a custom rule to allow connection to the server was I able to connect.
