These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

Confidence
e621.net is a legitimate, long-running business (founded 2007, owned by Dragon Fruit Ventures LLC in Arizona) with no malware detections, valid SSL, and a 19-year domain history. However, the site faces substantial user complaints — 48 total, with a 1.6/5 rating on independent review aggregators — centered on moderation of content depicting minors in anthropomorphic form. The site was blocked in Russia in December 2023 for allegedly hosting such material, and self-blocked North Carolina IPs in January 2024 due to state age-verification law. While the domain and infrastructure are legitimate, the content moderation controversies and legal actions create genuine safety concerns for users, particularly regarding what material the platform permits. The site is not a financial scam or malware vector, but the moderation issues warrant a suspicious rating.

Safety FAQ

Common questions about this site, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.

  • Our automated security review marked e621.net as suspicious. Several warning signs were detected; it may still turn out legitimate, but you should verify it through independent channels before trusting it with money or credentials.
  • e621.net currently scores 55/100 on our trust scale. We found enough warning signals to recommend caution. Verify the site through independent channels before entering credentials or money.
  • Yes. e621.net presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WE1, expiring in 77 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • e621.net is 19.9 years old, registered on 8/1/2006 through NameCheap, Inc.. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.

  • No. e621.net is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
  • e621.net resolves to an IP operated by Cloudflare, Inc. in US (usage type: Content Delivery Network). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad, but unusual geography for a brand's claimed country is one of many signals we weigh.
  • Yes. e621.net sits in the global top-100k on Cloudflare Radar, which means it has substantial real-world traffic. That does not automatically make it safe, but established brands almost always rank here and throwaway scam domains almost never do.
