FunnelFlux Tracking Domain: Antivirus Warnings

After trying to figure out why my CTRs have dropped dramatically and in combination with users' comments that they get antivirus warnings on my facebook ads, I came to these two articles:

https://charlesngo.com/voluumwarning/

To Funnelflux team, have you had the domain whitelisted with the Avirus companies and/or do you offer a specific nameserver solution to deal with this problem?

Thanks

FunnelFlux is a self hosted solution, so these problems shouldn't relate to it all, or am I wrong?

Yeah funnelflux is self hosted. So I don't think those problems are related.

Thanks both for chiming in, should that really be indeed the case makes me feel way more comfortable

The problem with hosted trackers such as Voluum, is that there is a default tracking domain that anyone can use, so in theory, if one affiliate pushes some malware, the default domain can get flagged which will affect anyone else who us using it.

In case of a selfhosted tracker such as funnelflux, you're the only one who runs traffic through your tracking domain - it can also get flagged of course, but that's up to you and the offers you choose to promote.
