Why do I see an alert that says "Following an external link"?
This warning is displayed when clicking on links with the HTTP protocol, as attackers often prefer to use it for phishing and other fraudulent schemes. You can read about what phishing is here.
HTTP is an unprotected protocol, in which the data you enter is not encrypted. For encryption, you should use the HTTPS protocol. If we are talking about links that lead to your site, then we recommend using HTTPS.
