js.pusher.com is not an ad/tracking service

[c0defre4k]

Hello,
is there a specific reason why js.pusher.com is blocked?
Pusher is a framework used by modern web applications to provide realtime data through web-sockets. Although it can be used for advertising its not the main purpose if this service. Blocking this domain breaks base functionality of many website that use this technology.

In my opinion this should be removed from the list, to not break anything.

Provide examples of breakage.

In my case its a backend application to manage the content of a website, which uses pusher to provide live updates instead of reloading the whole page.
Because the js.pusher.com is blocked it actually prevents the application from booting and I'm stuck at looking at a loading animation.

Pusher's website describes pretty good what this service is used for - this is not a tool used for advertising or tracking.
In the developer docs you see that they provide their Client SDK through the js.pusher.com domain. ws.pusherapp.com is the domain where the websocket connection is established to.

Therefore these domains should be removed from the list:

• ws.pusherapp.com
• js.pusher.com

@c0defre4k the lists owner is away at the moment and i'm not sure when he'll be back to validate your request. Will advise you to whitelist it on your end and keep an eye on the issue here for any changes/updates.

@dnmTX thanks for the info! That's what I already did in my setup. I'll have an eye on this ticket until the author has reviewed it. I'm sure it wasn't his intention to block a service like this.
