DNS Firewall

Docs coming soon.

In the screenshot below objects.githubusercontent.com got added to the firehollevel3 DNS firewall, presumably at the upstream FireHOL project.

For a domain with that broad of usage, it was probably legitimately being abused somewhere, and hence ended up on that list. But obviously it has a massive impact then on everything else hosted on that domain.

To resolve the issue, you'll have to add objects.githubusercontent.com to the DNS Firewall local whitelist on Whitespire
