Since today, my Malwarebytes doesn't let me connect to appwrite cloud anymore. I try to connect from my own (WIP) website and the connections seem to all be fine. Just Malwarebytes doesn't like them. Has anyone encountered this problem before? How can this be prevented going forward?

TL;DR
Appwrite Cloud being flagged as a trojan by Malwarebytes, causing connection issues. Developers hoping for a solution soon, exploring options like rewiring the API through Vercel. Reporting to vendors suggested, custom domain use as potential remedy. Antivirus flagging Appwrite Cloud as suspicious, users experiencing connection blockages.

hmm, that's bad. Since Appwrite is multi-tennant, can this rating be reversed?

You should report it to the vendor. Using a custom domain should override it too I think

But I suspect this and the DDoS is a campaign against Appwrite for some unknown reason

yes, but I have some friends testing the site for me and we wanted to open it up to more people from our community. Having to manually unblock Appwrite is a no-go

The only idea I have is to re-wire the API so it hits my hoster first (Vercel) and then functions from there call Appwrite.

I already have issued emails or tickets to all the providers blocking appwrite.

Now there is one less AV blocking it. Hope the rest ones make the same 🙂

@maru Do I can publish your screenshots in the malwarebytes forum?

Yes, it doesn't contain any personal information. Please do 🙂
