Domains in list break Ring Central app

[smcclosr]

For the web app https://app.ringcentral.com, the following domains need to be removed:

som.ringcentral.com mpsnare.iesnare.com

from the lists:

master/hosts master/alternates/fakenews-gambling-porn/hosts

Once they are whitelisted, the site works.

Hello @smcclosr thank you for this.

The domain som.ringcentral.com comes to us via Adguard-cname list. As such, this domain in a DNS CNAME cloak for ringcentral.com.ssl.sc.omtrdc.net. As per:

$ dig som.ringcentral.com                                                                               
som.ringcentral.com.	9770	IN	CNAME	ringcentral.com.ssl.sc.omtrdc.net.
ringcentral.com.ssl.sc.omtrdc.net. 180 IN A	63.140.38.160
ringcentral.com.ssl.sc.omtrdc.net. 180 IN A	63.140.38.12
ringcentral.com.ssl.sc.omtrdc.net. 180 IN A	63.140.38.180

ringcentral.com.ssl.sc.omtrdc.net. 180 IN A	63.140.38.115
ringcentral.com.ssl.sc.omtrdc.net. 180 IN A	63.140.38.120
ringcentral.com.ssl.sc.omtrdc.net. 180 IN A	63.140.38.123

My guess is, that's not gonna get removed.

The domain mpsnare.iesnare.com comes to us from two lists: adaway.org and mvps.org, therefore it's double-sourced. That said, the mvps.org list may be dropped soon. As for its inclusion in the adaway.org list, you can always try making your case at https://github.com/AdAway/adaway.github.io/issues. Ping @jawz101 about that.

removed. Looks like iesnare is made by a company called Iovation which is now a subsidiary of TransUnion. A product detect fraudulent activity w/ fingerprinting as well as for marketing.

Most of our processing activities are based on the legitimate interest condition. This includes almost all of our Fraud Prevention and Device Risk products.

This includes the use of Artificial Intelligence/ Machine Learning/ Data Analytics for improving our products and fraud detection services under this lawful basis.

We may also process business to business marketing data for the purposes of direct marketing to our business customers under this lawful basis.
