I'm getting content blocked at work:

Are there security concerns with wasmer.io ?

Hey, Syrus here from Wasmer. This is the first time I'm hearing from this. No, there shouldn't be any security concerns in our website (it's actually fully open source as well [1], if you want to take a look)

Do you happen to know what firewall does your work use? I'd love to follow up with them to make sure this is resolved asap

I remember that a couple of years ago any wasm file hosted on any github page would be blocked by the EasyPrivacy list (apparently some idiots used github pages to host coin miners). Maybe it's a similar over-eager blocking rule.

Not sure what's up. No idea what the local filter software is. I'll fill out the local complaint form. wasm files are being served up from github.io , so wasm files, per se, are not the problem.

Behind every overly aggressive filter is an allowlist. GitHub would likely be the first addition.
