---|---|
Run Time | 2 minutes |

Known Issues / Limitations
- While this feed offers domains that are related to tracking services, it does not mean that all domains are malicious and should be blocked. You should always review the domains before blocking them. Services such as
Google
orMicrosoft
track users, but their domains shouldn't be blocked as they are widely used. The integration includes a configuration parameter field, Ignore Entities, where you can select which services you'd like to ignore. The field is pre-populated with a list of services that are commonly used or non-malicious. You can add more services to that list if you wish to ignore domains from other services. See the following URL for a complete list of services: https://github.com/disconnectme/disconnect-tracking-protection/blob/master/descriptions.md.
