Hello everyone,

For the past few weeks, I've been having trouble updating the WAPT packages in my private repository. I finally got around to investigating the cause, and it turns out my Kaspersky Endpoint Security antivirus is blocking access to the URL with the following message:
The requested webpage may be dangerous or prohibited by company policy.

Address: http://wapt.tranquil.it/store/fr/.

The webpage is blocked by the "Blocked" rule.

Reason: The website belongs to the "Torrents" content category(ies) and the "Unknown Data" data type category(ies).

Click the link http://wapt.tranquil.it/store/fr/ to open the requested webpage.
Click the link http://wapt.tranquil.it/*to access all the website content including the requested webpage.
Click the link *://*.tranquil.it/* to access all existing domains at the level marked (at or below the level) with an asterisk (*).

Access to the listed websites will be permitted during the current Kaspersky Endpoint Security session.
If you received this warning in error, contact your company's local network administrator (Request access).
To be able to copy/paste, I opened it through the browser and I see that it's still possible to access the content. But obviously, this isn't possible from the console.

I'll look into whitelisting wapt.tranquil.it, but I'm surprised to see this URL blacklisted for Torrents.

Hello Philippe,

the website wapt.tranquil.it doesn't host a torrent tracker, but it does have WAPT packages for torrent download software like qBittorrent. I think the classification error stems from that. If you could report this to Kaspersky regarding their classification issue, that would be great.

Thanks for the feedback and welcome back (if you were on vacation :-) ).

Best regards,

Denis
