URL Content Filtering Removal?

Joe1234 — Fri, 20 Aug 2021 19:50:51 GMT

One of my sites appears to be blocked by URL content Filtering as a 'Hacking site' I poked around on our end and it seems to have come through a definition update(?)

How do I go about getting it removed? Clearly since i'm asking, it isn't a hacking site just a list of mostly freeware. It seemed to happen after I added 'hacker scripts' to my list. Hacker Scripts really isn't hacking it is about a system admin creating bash scripts to automate his job in a fun way.

URL: https://shellcity.net/ (be kind the UI hasn't been updated since around 2012 lol.)

EDIT: After posting this, the side bar updated with a link to check the status and a request to update it. The URL is: https://urlfiltering.paloaltonetworks.com/

Thank you for looking!

So, I presume you are ok then, as you can request PANW to change the category?

Or, you can create a custom URL category with that hacker site in it, and then go back into your URL filtering, and just ALLOW that custom URL category.
