SafeSquid Product Version - 2022.0718.1917.3
When trying to exclude websites for dynamic categorization “.category” is used.
However, if you use “.category” to exclude websites from dynamic categorization the default category of the website is applied to the referring website.

By default, https://www.safesquid.com/ belongs to default category “Information Security”
