[PLUG] SOLVED! Why Don't These Links Work Anymore?


I discovered that PiHole was preventing these links from working.  (I'm using https://pi-hole.net/ as a whole-house spam filter, and it's great!)

I had to manually enter Join1440.com to PiHole's local whitelist, and now all the links from them work.

I subscribe to a daily newsletter from Join1440.com.  They often have links in the eMail to sources or other articles, using their URL with a tracking code.  Lately, these links give me an "Unable to Connect" error in Firefox.  Previously (a month or so ago) they all worked fine.

I've tried disabling all the security features in firefox (including ghostery, and others), but I can't get them to work. Unfortunately, firefox doesn't tell me anything specific about the error.

Anybody got any ideas?

Here's an example link: https://link.join1440.com/click/36912753.12164/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudGhlY29sbGVjdG9yLmNvbS9zdXJyZWFsaXNtLWFydC1hbmQtdGhlaXItYXJ0aXN0cy8/66c4b9c55d78644b3a88293cB44ff0e0c

TIA!
