optanon.blob.core.windows.net breaks Greek Public TV's webTV #135

Closed XhmikosR closed 4 years ago

XhmikosR commented 4 years ago

Hello!

It seems blocking optanon.blob.core.windows.net breaks Greek Public TV (ERT) web TV. For example:

https://webtv.ert.gr/ert3/kosmostonspor/27fev2020-o-kosmos-ton-spor/

In the gray header there's supposed to show a video.

Thanks for opening up this ticket @XhmikosR. That host, optanon.blob.core.windows.net is used for cookie-consent and likely GDPR requirements. I'm going to leave this ticket open for a bit, but I'm inclined to move it to the aggressive list since it is causing problems.

@lightswitch05 can you confirm that if you unblock the aforementioned site you also see a video in the gray header?

lightswitch05 commented 4 years ago

During my testing, the only thing I had to whitelist was ipinfo.io

XhmikosR commented 4 years ago

You are right. Sorry for the wrong report, it just seemed to work after some testing. ipinfo.io is not in your blocklist AFAICT so I'm gonna close the issue.

Thanks for the fast replies!

Its in my aggressive list @XhmikosR - incase you use that one

XhmikosR commented 4 years ago

Oh, I only use "light" lists so this seems to be coming from:

 Match found in https://gitlab.com/quidsup/notrack-blocklists/raw/master/notrack-blocklist.txt:
   ipinfo.io

Yes, I use that list too, its a good one, but it sounds like you'll want to whitelist that host.
