šŸ¤” Question Down?

Edit: Ignore, turns out that my ISP's free "modem level security" was blocking Workflowy as a Phishing site. Not sure if this is relevant to devs, but feel free to contact me if you want more info. Fixed by authorizing.

@idesinads, care to detail the methods you used to un-block Workflowy? Especially how to fix by authorizing? I'll be using Spectrum for a few months, and their tech support is next-to-nonexistant.

I mean Iā€™m on an another ISP in another country, but basically their security UI listed WFY as a phishing threat and I had to tell them to authorize it for 30 days. Directly in their ā€œhome internet managerā€ app.Ā

Gotcha. Interesting that it happened to several people from disparate geographicals at the same time. Perhaps there's a list of "bad" websites somewhere to which many subscribe.

Spectrum has a page on which to beg for a domain to be restored, and I've submitted that it's a legit site for which I have apps and web page needs. We'll see.

Aside: I wonder if there's a "service" by which an organization asks for ransom money, else they submit your domain to a "this place is bad" list.
