Newly Seen Domains category bypass needed

The Newly Seen Domains category is great and I'm glad it's an option, however it is classified as a security category and cannot be bypassed. While I agree it is a security feature, it should probably not be included with malware as a non-bypassable category. I would suggest that it is similar to the phishing category which can be bypassed. There are a fair number of times where a newly seen domain is legitimate and should be allowed to be accessed or the block bypassed.

Please allow the Newly Seen Domains category to be bypassed by Bypass Users and Bypass Codes. Thank you!

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback, glad to hear you like the new feature. We've discussed your comment and completely agree that bypass users and bypass codes should be able to get past the block page for newly seen domains. In our systems this change appears to be non-trivial, so I'm not sure how quickly we can get to it, but it is in our backlog now for sure.
