Regarding “Security” Issues When Accessing zeroretries.radio and www.zeroretries.radio
The issues impacting some Zero Retries readers when accessing Zero Retries on the zeroretries.radio domain seem have largely abated.
Cloudflare no longer lists zeroretries.radio and www.zeroretries.radio as a phishing site. That was a huge improvement in the situation.
The last remaining issues that I am aware of are that Microsoft continued, for several weeks, to “flag” zeroretries.radio (but, puzzlingly… not www.zeroretries.radio) as a potential phishing site. From what I can personally observe, using the Microsoft Edge web browser, Microsoft does not seem to be doing so as of 2026-03-13.
At this point in the process, I’ve done as much as I can to correct this issue.
Any issues / warnings may completely cease as the change in status of zeroretries.radio / www.zeroretries.radio in Cloudflare (and Microsoft?) propagates through the many varied security systems, browsers, etc. Also, as I make more and more use of www.zeroretries.radio, such as updating my many links from www.zeroretries.org to www.zeroretries.radio, that apparently adds “legitimacy” to “unusual” domains such as zeroretries.radio.
Suggestions if you’re continuing to experience issues accessing Zero Retries at www.zeroretries.radio:
Clear session cookies in your web browser. I know this is old, common advice, but it bites me too. Often a page in your browser is being displayed out of a local cache on your computer / phone / tablet.
Try a different web browser such as Firefox. I first noticed the issue on Google Chrome (and later Microsoft Edge), but other browsers such as Safari and Firefox never displayed the issue (which is how I missed it initially).
If your browser or security system offers a “access this website, despite the warning” option, consider doing so. That you did so sometimes gets “fed back” upstream to the security system.
If you have the option to provide feedback to the security system provider, consider doing so. Zero Retries is a newsletter, not a security threat.
Request For Manual Subscribe To (Ghost) Zero Retries Email List
If you’d like to receive Zero Retries (from the new Ghost publishing system) via email, but you cannot access www.zeroretries.radio to do so yourself, please send an email:
zrnladmin@zeroretries.net with the subject of “Request manual email add”
and I will add you as a free subscriber to the (new, Ghost) Zero Retries email newsletter.
That way, at least you’ll be able to read the email version of Zero Retries each week.
Thanks!
