recently I have been getting alerts from my router regarding security risks from my iPhone. See attached for details. Any thoughts on whether this is actually an issue.

Thanks

Looks like your router is blocking iAd. No harm, no foul, I’d say.

Edit: As for the ones not on apple.com domains...do those times listed correlate with any websites/apps you’re using that have ads?
 
What brand and model of router are you using? Could be an issue with the Safe Access package database...

Synology RT2600AC. I believe the database is provided by google safe browsing. Just noticed an update is available, so will try that.

That's what I thought it might be. Lots of reports of this on the Synology Forum:

https://community.synology.com/forum/2

I also use an RT2600AC and am holding off on the firmware "upgrade" until there is additional clarity on this issue.
[doublepost=1552039968][/doublepost]BTW, for anyone else reading this thread, I have been using the RT2600AC since it launched and it is a brilliant router. I don't want people who may be looking to upgrade their router being put off by this issue.

Yes i agree its a fantastic router.
 
Ah, sorry. I only use Safe Access to limit the internet access of our teenage son on his PC after hours, and have none of the other filtering or monitoring features enabled.
