# NousResearch/hermes-agent · url_safety SSRF check handling of DNS failures in sandboxes

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

Members concern the url_safety/SSRF check and how it behaves when DNS resolution is unavailable, such as in proxy or sandbox environments (including NVIDIA OpenShell) or when allow_private_urls is enabled. They include one issue report and several proposed changes to permit DNS failure; one is described as a salvage of an earlier PR.
