Akiba is being blocked by Malwarebytes

[prophetomega]

I just upgraded my "Malwarebytes Anti-malware" software to premium so that it can work on real time. When I try to visit akiba it was blocked.



The 2 tabs were both me trying to visit akiba. At first I though it was an error so I open another tab but same thing. I keep trying and it really is blocked I never had any trouble with akiba yet, so I'm skeptical. I know that sometimes google or even firefox will alert you when something is fishy on a website. And after a few days the warning would be gone maybe because the issue was resolve. So is this one of those issue? And can we resolve this?

I love akiba best regards to everyone specially to all our hard working admins and contributors.

Yes, this is only a problem with the premium-version (either the trial or the real)
but, we can't do much against this.
this happens all the time.
my other board is also on the blocklist of malwarebytes. And they won't remove this, since we are "cyber criminals"

so sadly, we can't do anything here :/

Owhhh... Well I never encounter an issue from using akiba. So I guess I'll just disable it when I'm here. Thanks for the quick response.

A web proxy might just bypass the filter, hard to say for sure but worth a try.

http://webproxy.stealthy.co/

is pretty good, I use it and others when I come up against Cloudflare....the internets new archenemy.

Yup it work. I just hope they don't log and share any of my browsing history. Thanks Ceewan

Well, the domain is located in Columbia, (not known for kindness towards free speech) but the IP actually belongs to a San Francisco address and therefore they are not required to keep logs. This webproxy scored really well with my proxychecker (http://stilllistener.com/checkpoint1/ on all tests, considering it is a web proxy). Still it would be a good idea not to rely on a webproxy for anything more than casual surfing. Webproxies, especially free ones, have built in limitations so they are not abused (or in order to get you to pay for their premium service....I mean everyone is out to make a dollar nowadays).

I had the same problem when I upgraded, but all you have to do is to go into "settings" and select the "web exclusions" tab on the LHS and hit "add domain" and paste in www.akiba-online.com.
That way you can still run Malwarebytes and it will still exclude all the virus and adware laden picture links on the site for you
