Issue:
DNS resolution for certain sites are blocked with the product installed. How to avoid this from happening?
Resolution:
Most likely the DNS resolution is blocked by the Botnet Blocker feature. The site is rated as unsafe and hence blocked by the feature.
You need to do the following:
1. Share the URL with the Labs team, for further investigation. The Labs team will whitelist the URL if the site is not malicious: https://www.withsecure.com/en/support/contact-support/submit-a-sample
2. Whitelist the blocked site or the IP address of the blocked site via the Advanced View in the PM Console at:
