Trojan detected while reading

While in the middle of reading, I had received a notification about a malicious website being blocked from my browser. Is there anything I should be concerned about regarding MangaDex security?

The log is of the block is as follows:

Looking through the Discord it looks like a false positive as there was a message with the exact same ip and with this as a response:

yeah, MB is garbage and flags one MDAH node that ran tor more than a year ago
of course they never removed the stupid warning
not much we can do

(MDAH: MandaDex@Home)

Fair enough, I'll take a false positive over a false negative. Thanks for the help

Yep, MB flags the IP itself as a trojan despite performing zero analysis on any of the traffic coming from it.

I just got the same issue, with the same exact domain. Glad to hear it's a false positive. Do I need to add an exclusion for it, though? It doesn't appear to have impacted site functionality at all.

MDAH has many nodes serving the images so if the request fails to go through to one of them i imagine it automatically tries another, but putting an exclusion for it will (probably?) at least make it so the warning doesn't pop up again

In theory, blocking this IP should just make your loading times longer while it waits for the fallback to kick in, it shouldn't fail outright.

Don't know if this will do any good.
