Cannot use unsubscribe function from emails (pfBlockerNG DNSBL Self-Signed Certificate)

opticalc

Ive very recently enabled pfblockerng using the standard wizard, and it seems to work well. But just now got an email from fandango and I decided to click "unsubscribe" and then got a blank page with the red triangle exclamation with :

Your connection is not private
Attackers might be trying to steal your information from links.fandango.com (for example, passwords, messages, or credit cards). Learn more about this warning
net::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID

I then inspected the cert, its from rtr-pfBNG-DNSBL-6a988279d1680 and so clicked "proceed anyway" and then it was just an empty black page. Is there any tweaks that need to be done after the wizard to allow these kinds of things?

@opticalc you’ve blocked that domain so you can figure out which list and disable it. Probably an ad or tracking service.

The error is because the certificate name doesn’t match the domain.

and now 'they' know that your email address is 'valid' and a human saw it ....
