What reputation source does WG use?

Hi, We recently began using the https proxies, web blocker, and all of that and I have noticed that very simple things like adblockplus.org are marked as having bad reputation. Which reputation source is deciding that adblockplus.org is bad and how do I contact them to find out why?

The source of this info seems to be from WG firewalls - the following is from the above link:

Reputation Enabled Defense Feedback

If Gateway AntiVirus is enabled, you can choose if you want to send the results of local Gateway AntiVirus and APT Blocker scans to the WatchGuard server. You can also choose to upload Gateway AntiVirus and APT Blocker scan results to WatchGuard even if Reputation Enabled Defense is not enabled or licensed on your device. All communications between your network and the Reputation Enabled Defense server are encrypted.

We recommend that you enable the upload of local scan results to WatchGuard to improve overall coverage and accuracy of Reputation Enabled Defense.
