If I have the option to set preferred DNS settings in my router, will this work there as well? If so, that might be better than setting it on each individual laptop in the house. Desktops too.

Blokada doesn’t support clear text DNS only DoH or DoT, so it will most likely not work on your wifi.

I’m on the 7-day free trial of Blokada Cloud and everything runs smoothly on my phone. Now I wanted to test run it on my Windows machine. On my Blokada Dashboard app.blokada.org however, there is no Setup instructions. In fact, it says “Blokada Cloud Not Available”. What am I missing?

On which step exactly are encountering the error message?

It is not an error message per se.
Right when I log into my dashboard, I only get the option to use Libre or buy Plus. The Cloud option is with black background and Text “Cloud Not Available”

And now tried setup on my tablet. When I try to restore my purchsse and type in my Account ID, it says “Not a vslid account”
