Blokada 5.15 for Android
This release introduces a new “Extra” configuration for Introducing OISD blocklist blocklist, and adds DoH configuration for Cloudflare DNS for Families (thanks xopez).
Another important change is improved detection of WiFi and mobile networks, that should address the issues some users have been experiencing with misdirected network configurations. We are still working on it, so if you are experiencing problems, please send logs to hello@blokada.org with a comment that you have a network detection issue.
Last but not least, you can now see your realtime ping to your active DNS, by tapping the “x ads and trackers blocked” text on the Home screen, and scrolling to the bottom.
Blokada 4.15 for Android
This is a maintenance release that fixes an issue where some devices report the VPN as a “metered network” which would cause some problems.
Other updates
As usual we updated the blocklists, and translations. We also made some minor bugfixes. More in the changelog.
Keep the feedback coming, and enjoy using Blokada!
Just to recap, if you haven’t been following our announcements closely, here are some shortcuts for the newest cool stuff we introduced:
- Networks (you can use network’s DNS now)
