Thanks for the info.
I did put in a request, but i'm not sure how a category request will effect the circle settings. The app in question is Speedify, when i search on brightcloud then show up in the category 'Computer and Internet Security'. In the circle app, there is no category named anything like that.
Also, they ask for a url, i entered speedify.com, but would have no idea which urls their actual vpn service is using.

Circle is using a dynamic database that is always changing based on such request that you’ve just made and from others. I hope that Circle developers will figure out which urls or services need to add to the database to take care of this shortcoming.
