I don't know what changed since then, but r539 is quite old (start 2017 I think). The latest sources can be found here https://sdi-tool.org/releases/SDI_Sources.7z, Sam supplied me with the link in another topic!

Oh, that's rough, I didn't know of that. That's also quite a reason to not support GitHub for the time being, but it looks like they are forced by law right now. I really hope they find a solution to that, I always saw them as a global platform for opensource development.

Wait, no encryption certificate? I get a Let's Encrypt certificate with public key B1:4A:33:33:D8:FD:B8:63:[...] when visiting with https protocol.

The part about the sources / code tab is also bothering me. In another topic opened by me Sam supplied me with the link to the latest sourcecode, https://sdi-tool.org/releases/SDI_Sources.7z, but I don't understand why the code tab (which is also referenced on https://sdi-tool.org/development/ but leads to a Forbidden error on Sourceforge) is not available anymore nor why the files on Sourceforge haven't been updated since 2017. SDIO, which seems to be a fork of SDI, does have a code tab and recent...

Yeah, thought this to be normal behaviour too :) What I wasn't aware of is that, without another firewall installed, installers would be capable of creating firewall rules without this kind of confirmation on windows, like DPO seems to have done for you before you canceled the installation

Hmm, I don't think SDI itself asked if I remember correctly, I just got remarks from defender and my other software firewall that it wants to create an exception. I get these remarks for any application, even if I tick a "create firewall option" in an installer. But the firewalls are also configured to notify me of any change and let me approve it manually; I'm not sure if applications normally can sneak in firewall rules on vanilla Windows without notice.

Great pointer! There must be another thing that blocks it in my main firefox intallation which I didn't find. Using the latest portable version I found that setting the enhanced tracking protection to strict will block the false link too, while I was able to reproduce the problem when it is only set to standard.

I just tried multiple VPN servers stationed in Vietnam to rule out that there is regional component all the while disabling uBlock Origin (both just inside the browser and by using a different profile) but I can't get that mirror to show up. I normally only use firefox, so what I found with further fiddling is that I get the drp.su mirror to show up in Chrome; now I finally can see firsthand what you guys found! It also shows up in Safari, but I can't get it to show up in firefox, no matter what....
