twixt-commentator malware alert

Hi,

Seems that the forum is sleeping these weeks... and some usual major contributors are away : Hey, David J. Bush, Maraca, Alan Hensel, are you still there ? Come back please ! ;-)

@Alan : If you read me, I have got a malware alert on twixt-commentator :

Thierry, I think Alan's site is hosted out of his home, which does not have a fixed IP address, and therefore he uses the dyndns.org service.

This warning is probably generic to the dyndns.org domain, which I guess is used for bad purposes as well as good, and has been banned by your company's blacklist provider.

It's not really fair but there's not much Alan can do.

jds is exactly right. There's no malware on Twixt Commentator, but there's also not much I can do, short of the hassle and expense of moving to an external host. At least I am aware now of this problem. Thanks.

So, twixt-commentator.dyndns.org has no malware, but because some unspecified XYZ.dyndns.org does have malware, the corporate filter forbids all dyndns.org sites?

Yep.

Ok. Thank you for these explanations.

Fyi, the corporate filter of my company has been updated and there is no alert anymore regarding dyndns.org
