Do you have ESET (Firewall) software? It seems they put all Google domains on their anti-phising blacklist

Holy shit, yes I do....I was just browsing the Twitter for Gmail news and I saw this: https://x.com/sunage_org/status/1838125088660398443

Idk how the hell ESET did that, they are serious AV company. I first thought Gmail's SSL certs were hijacked because Chrome gives me SSL certs error.

Edit: Here is the FIX: Go to your ESET "Setup" settings and click "Internet protection" and disable "Email client protection" and "Email client antispam".

Idk if other Google's domains were blacklisted by ESET but this is not good.

Other people had this issue too but it seems like it is resolved now[1][2].
