Dear team of Easylist,
I’m from VK company, previously known as Mail.ru Group. We run most popular social networks in Europe, VKontakte (vk.com) and Odnoklassniki, email service Mail.ru, games publisher My.Games and other projects with large daily audience.
Could you please help us by whitelisting the two URLs we use for our advertising platforms?
Code: Select all
ads.vk.com*
vk.com/ads*We don’t serve ads on these domains, they are just platforms used to create ad campaigns and analyse their performance.
Most probably these two domains are getting blocked due to these strings in ruadlist:

@@||vk.com/ads_*php?$subdocument,~third-partyTo be clear in details, ads.vk.com is a web interface of our newly launched advertising platform VK Ads where businesses create ad campaigns. We see it happens to be a subject of filtering rules due to [ads] in its URL. For example, desktop Chrome browser with AdBlock extension installed doesn’t let to open any link that leads to ads.vk.com and subsidiary URLs: they get immediately closed.
The vk.com/ads is the website for the previous version of our VK ad platform, links to it have the same effect. Users who interact with these links on third-party websites (like articles in the media about our platforms) couldn't open them and think of some error in links themselves, it breaks browser usual behaviour.
Some strings above related to vk.com/ads break the ad platform interface: for example, payment button becomes unclickable. We also had to display a notice on ads.vk.com dashboard to disable AdBlock as it rules interfere with platform functions.
