Author here. Let me first note that the site is 100% free, and requires no account to read anything. I only use the built-in Ghost blogging subscription for those who want it delivered to their email, but it is absolutely not necessary. That's the full and total extent of anything email related with the site. I have many readers who subscribe to the RSS feed, which is free and open and requires no email whatsoever.

I have been trying to get this unblocked for some time now. I've tried reporting it as a false positive, and so did the Ghost admins, through the Google safebrowsing report mechanism. I saw my blog listed on phishtank.net, but that site isn't accepting new accounts and I have to have an account to report a false positive.

Ghost admins recommended I use a custom subdomain, and it may come to that. Sorry for the inconvenience, this is very frustrating.

FYI, I've visited and enjoyed your site previously and can't connect now. It's not due to ublock. Neither Firefox nor Edge can access it due to:

    Secure Connection Failed

    An error occurred during a connection to stonetools.ghost.io. SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length. 

    Error Code: SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG

    Very strange. I'll send that off to the Ghost admins and see if they can help me with it. Thanks for the error report.

    Thank you, that's great to know! (I also found the method for reporting false positives to AdGuard, and hopefully that will get cleared up on their end one day.)
