shortened URLs are blocked with https error
-
I can't open any shortened URLs. What have I done that is blocking the expansion or access to these URLs?
Ex: goo.gl, aka.ms
I'm running pfblockerng
Everything is up to date. -
goo.gl is dying next month, and aks.ms led to a scam site. A lot of shortened URL sites are/were used by scammers so they're likely blocked by one of pfB's blocklists.
-
But I have to use aka.ms with my Office 365 implementation. Some of the links are only available in short form.
-
Then find and disable that specific pfB block. I can't be more specific because I don't use it myself. Maybe this will help?
