Overview

A Google Chrome feature to protect users from typo-squatting domains and lookalike URL's to popular sites may trigger a warning page due to Umbrella's redirection URL's.

Symptons

When the feature triggers, users will see a warning page suggesting just the parent domain. The URL being requested in your browser can look similar to: www.google.com.x.12345fe0155a04000000051af7976e.98765.id.opendns.com:443 when it is attempting to redirect users to our servers.

Workaround

• Selecting ignore will cache the response for that domain/URL in the future.
• Users can also disable this feature to prevent this from occurring again in the future by going to chrome://flags/#use-lookalikes-for-navigation-suggestions and selecting disabled.

If you are still experiencing issues after disabling the feature, please reach out to Cisco Umbrella support for further assistance. We are working to prevent this false detection in the future.
