I just tried it and… it redirects me to the actual page https://keepass.info/

That is weird. I don’t have mobile debugging set up, or I’d try and figure out what’s going on there.

Those questionable websites often do redirection to a legit site like Google unless certain condition is met. For example, it could detect and only lead the user to the fake site if the user is coming from the ad. It's a common technique for them to avoid getting caught.

Right now, using curl, [ķ]eepass.info redirects to xn--eepass-vbb.info and consequently that redirects to official domain keepass.info.

So it might be triggering on certain UAs

It's sending me to a rickroll now (Youtube).
