[False Positive] Yahoo Mail App #269
Comments
|
Thanks for the advice, I already had another message from a user on Telegram yesterday. For web and iOS I had to whitelist other domains so the Yahoo app and using the mail account in Outlook worked. Crazy since they came from different sources, they seem to have changed something in the app. I'm sure it would have been noticed sooner. The complete whitelist for Web/iOS and Android now looks like this (EDIT): ping sources:
EDIT: No whitelisting required, problem was caused by enabled NextDNS Blockpage!

I used my Galaxy S22 running Android 13 01/01/23 security patch level. I used the whitelisted domains you provided. I tried to sign-in with the following configuration on NextDNS Blocklist Allowlist The results were the same. I click sign-in, type my username, click next and get the something went wrong error message. I also tried the using the same configuration with the Outlook app and successfully logged in without any issues. Thanks for resolving these issues quickly! |

@markangus2b Many thanks for testing. |

I'm not blocking |

This should be mostly resolved in my standard lists, and completely resolved in my less aggressive Mini lists within an hour or two. Thanks again @hagezi. Always appreciate your thoroughness, and how you keep other projects + list maintainers in the loop. |

Many thanks @bongochong. |

Hey again @hagezi. I did some extra testing using a spare device running Android 10, and another spare device running Android 11. Methods of blocking included the local VPN route (AdAway and Rethink), along with two resolvers - via private dns - that block several of the domains in question (AdGuard and DNSWarden w/my larger list enabled). I performed a variety of actions using an old Yahoo account I've had for maybe two decades now, and I encountered no issues while using the Yahoo Mail application with |

@bongochong Thanks for testing. I also have no problems with blocked |

Just FYI: The previous version of Pro Plus has yap.yahoo.com blocked that blocked all subdomains of yap.yahoo.com but the new update has these two: ads.yap.yahoo.com and ads-verify.yap.yahoo.com. I have added yap.yahoo.com to my Denylist on nextdns. |

Thanks @chillipal, will check the whitelisting of |

@chillipal I have tested the Yahoo Finance app, with |

I have done further testing and have confirmed what @bongochong thought. NextDNS is causing the issue. I found that disabling the NextDNS Block Page feature on the Settings tab allows me to successfully sign into the Yahoo Mail app consistently with I would guess that the reason for this behavior would be that the Yahoo app is looking up During the same test I tried adding Now that I know NextDNS can cause these kinds of problems. I will have a separate configuration without any other NextDNS security services turned on to prevent this situation from happening again. I apricate everyone's time and effort in uncovering and resolving this issue. I will report this to NextDNS via the community forums. |

@hagezi Sorry for the late reply! 2 domains Previously, I used MiTM to resolve HTTPS in Yahoo app (iOS), it contains ads so I need to block it! @markangus2b You should leave the default configuration in the Settings tab, for me NextDNS works fine. Do not enable

Update: I used MiTM again to test. In my opinion, still have to block

Many thanks @bigdargon and @markangus2b . I had not thought about the block page, this feature belongs banned from NextDNS. @romaincointepas After all the back and forth and the test orgies, this leaves the following domains that need to be whitelisted for the Yahoo Mail app to work: Login: Only for setup Account Keys:
fyi @yokoffing |

@bigdargon Hi. What the app is it #269 (comment)? |
|
Didn't add a comment to this, but I also fixed this in my lists, thanks a bunch! |
|
I've removed the unnecessary domains now as well. Thank you for pinging me @hagezi. |
|
I think we can close here, thanks again to all involved. |
|
Thanks all, fixed it as well! |
I was setting up the Yahoo Mail app on a family members new Galaxy Tab A8 tablet and found Yahoo requires these domains to work properly on their Android app. I am using NextDNS on my Edgerouter. Blocking these two domains will result in a “Something went wrong” error message after clicking the sign-in button.
udc.yahoo.com
geo.yahoo.com
The next domain causes the same error message, but only when using Account keys to sign in by approving the login from another device.
pr.comet.yahoo.com
