Block Newly Registered Domains (NRDs)
Enabling this option will block domains registered less than 30 days ago. NRDs are often malicious but may also be used by legitimate websites. Turning this on may cause some false-positives. I'd suggest enabling this unless you work with newly registered domains.

I’ve found this impractical. This article itself seems to be blocked by this feature… if you participate in hacker culture, then you’re likely to often encounter legitimate recently-registered domains.

Hey, thank you for the feedback. You're right, blocking NRDs is impractical for anyone in the tech space. But I wrote this article for the general audience, who encounters NRDs very rarely. And when they do, it is likely to be malicious. (I don't have solid evidence, though).

About my domain being blocked by this feature, I guess I'll have to wait it out.
