What it means

What happened

turl.ca needs a normal public hostname, not a raw IP address.

Why

Why it might have happened

  • Raw IP destinations are harder for visitors to recognize.
  • They can also point at private or changing services.
Next steps

What you can try

  1. Use the site’s public domain name.
  2. If there is no public domain, do not shorten this destination.
