I have been using this tool to encrypt and password protect links to YouTube videos. However, it seems it has been reported for phishing at some point.

I have been informed that both Microsoft Edge and Avast block access to the tool due to phishing. I have recreated this issue in Microsoft Edge, but I don't use Avast.

It seems to work as expected in Firefox and Chrome.

Please could this be looked into if possible?

Hi, thanks for using this project, and for letting me know about this!

Probably the ban has to do with spammers using URL Pages (also hosted on my domain) for phishing and other malicious activity. In a recent series of commits on that repo, I have added some warnings to (hopefully) deter against spammers using URL Pages tool for phishing. I can try to reach out to Avast and maybe some Microsoft Edge people to see if they will adjust their blocking of my domain, but I don't have contacts at either place, so will just be cold-emailing.

In the meantime, I'll leave this issue open. I will follow up in this thread with any additional updates.

Thanks again for using the project, and for bringing this to my attention!
