Gog donate link triggers u block origin and doesn't resolve with mullvad dns
Hello, I use mullvad dns and today after updating to heroic 2.13.0 I have seen that the page doesn't open i heroic and decided to try and open the link in my browser.
First think is that ublock origin blocked the connection saying that the domain was found in a general user blocklist, I said okay and pressed proceed.
Then my browser hit me with a mullvad dns wasn't found. I also tried to ping it using dnscrypt proxy set to mullvad dns but it still didn't want to work.
The exact link that triggers it all is this one = https://track.adtraction.com/t/t?a=1578845458&as=1838482841&t=2&tk=1&url=http://www.gog.com.
I also tried the gog link from the heroic website but it seems to be the same.
This issue leads me to believe that there will be a need to change the service you are using for linking the donation link.

affiliate link is handled by adtraction, it's the way GOG handles that we can't do much about.
we'll provide an option to disable affiliate link in Heroic soon so that the website won't be broken for people who block the adtraction

Too bad they do it that way,I planned on getting a lot of games on gog and thought about using the link to buy them to support the project.
Guess I will turn off my doh service when I decide to buy them to support the project
