Started this morning. All of my personal tools like nextcloud and RSS reader were blocked, and I had to go manually override that screen for each one. Unacceptable.

I imagine that domain is mostly used for spam/phishing sites so Google preemptively blocks all sub domains until they prove they aren't spam. That's one of the shortcomings of using a free domain I guess.

Domains are cheap as dirt for the most part anyways, it's like 12$/year for a .com if you don't mind having one of those weirder TLDs I've seen those as cheap as 2$/year

2 dollars a year
