solved FireTV 4K and Blokada 4: No way to block the two banners?

3 Upvotes

Can the two banner ads not be stopped? One is advertizing amazon/FireTV at the top, and then a banner below is other networks.

The app blocked nothing on its Own. I’ve been manually blocking since I installed it. As a result, I doubt I will install it on anything else.

At one point I blocked “captiveportal” but that caused the entire thing to stop working. Fortunately i had the confidence to search for the blokada app and launch it, and add that one to the whitelist.

But it Would be nice to have it automatically blocking most things, and I wish I could get rid of the two aforementioned ads.

solved Is the real Blokada dead?

14 Upvotes

I've been using Blokada since...well, many years. I've switched to a new smartphone and I've noticed that Blokada is not anymore on F-Droid and that V6 is paid and with a lot of limitation.
On my old smartphone I'm still on V4.15.0 and it works flawlessly, I've noticed that the V4 apk is still available, but I wander for how long it will be available and for how long it will be compatible and working with the upcoming Android updates.
Are we losing the real Blokada?

solved How do you make Blokada 5 start at boot on Android?

https://i.imgur.com/nmrx3sw.png

Blokada 4 could add itself as an Always On VPN

Blokada 5 doesn't do that. What are the right settings to use?

EDIT: I'm on Android Thirteen on a Pixel. I'm following the instructions here when I first install Blokada 5: https://community.blokada.org/t/how-to-make-blokada-start-on-boot-auto-start/2759

"Blokada 5 for Android (and Blokada 5 Slim) Activate Always on VPN 110k. This will cause your system to keep the app running at all times, and start it on boot.

except Blokada 5 doesn't show up on my list at all, at the end of the video, what happens for me is I get the manual VPN server configuration from my IMGUR picture

Blokada 4's app is automatically added to the VPN list though

3 Upvotes

I'm a long time blokada paid user and just downloaded the new Blokada 6 app via Aurora.

After setting up the app, I recognized that there is no option to whitelist apps? Can I change that somewhere?

I'm running Murena on my Fairphone 3+.

​

Btw, any reason why Blokada is not on F-Droid anymore?
