I’ve used Block-This! for ages, and it sounds much the same as **Blokada**. Comments? ---

Hi, I’m unfamiliar with the app you’re talking about but its latest github release was back in 2017. It seems to redirect unwanted traffic to 127.0.0.1 while I can’t seem to find out whether or not you can properly choose what’s unwanted. Blokada replies with a simple error message instead of waiting for the request to time out on 127.0.0.1 which makes it a bit faster. You might not notice the difference though. That’s all I’ve found while looking at the github page 🙂 ---

Did this answer your question @bobb? ---
