Hello,

I have observed Blokada consuming lots of mobile data. This is apparently due to blocklist auto refresh.  
Please include an option to refresh the blocklist only when in Wifi.

Current implementation of autorefresh is not useful. It will use more data than it can safe by blocking (at least for me).

I consider this topic as urgent.

Thank you!

1. Where did you **download** Blokada from?

F-Droid on Android

1. Which **device** do you use? Do you use a **custom ROM**? Do you know which **OS version** you are using?

2. Please explain the issue **as detailed as possible**. Also include patterns you observed (like ‘it only happens on wifi’). The more information the better.

3. Since when are you facing this issue?

4. Did you already try to solve the issue somehow? If so: please state what you did.

Install older version.  
Kill Blokada.
