Hi!

I downloaded Blokada 4 on my Philips smart TV and after a while I got it to work without blocking the ethernet connection. Not using Blokada Plus. At some point I allowed the app to use a VPN tunnel, but it flashed by so quickly so I couldn’t read the info. I’m a little worried about not being able to find any way to deactivate this, neither in the Blokada app menus, nor in the TV menus. My questions:

1. Is there a way to check whether VPN is indeed active?
2. Is there a way to deactivate VPN, if it is active? If so, where can I find that?
3. Will uninstalling Blokada deactivate the VPN?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi,  
Blokada will simply not work without vpn permissions. You have to grant them no matter what. As soon as you deactivate blokada the vpn api connection will be stopped
