  Hi, I clicked on a shortened URL version of my own post via the twitter app for iOS and suddenly a warning appeared for an unsafe website (wp.me) containing malware and it’s being blocked. Here’s the screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/lML9fVI.jpg

  When I clicked the link from desktop twitter though, the warning didn’t show up.
  What’s going on?
  Thank you.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  Can you provide the shortened URL for me? I have iOS and twitter and would like to see if I can replicate the issue.

  Are you still receiving the warning?

  Thanks!

  Hi,

  here’s the URL http://wp.me/p2Pb3J-Ug but I’ve made changes to the post (changed the title, not sure whether that affects the shortlink) and I just checked it through my iOS twitter app and I no longer get the malware warning page.

  Not sure what happened last time.

  Thank you for replying.

  Hey there,

  I’m not seeing it on my end either. If it ever pops up again, let me know. I would love to take a look.

  Thanks!

  Hi, it has happened again.
  Here’s the shortlink: http://wp.me/p2Pb3J-Uv

  I clicked it on my Twitter for iOS app (link to tweet: https://twitter.com/thedonkatsu/status/710692838254612480) and I got the same malware warning again.

  

  Thanks.

  Update: this only happens when I’m using comodo secure dns. When I switched to another wifi or connection that use google dns etc, it doesn’t happen.

  Hey there,

  I did some research and Comodo Secure DNS is known to block WordPress.com sites.

  From what I have read, you can:

  1) Please report this in this topic: https://forums.comodo.com/help-dns/report-blocked-sites-you-believe-are-safe-here-t68875.0.html

  2) Disable SecureDNS.

  Let me know if this works for you. Thanks.
