Some very useful features from Blokada 5 are missing from Blokada 6! 🤔

Hey @Niknaknok ,

Thanks for posting! The main difference between Blokada 5 & 6 is that Blokada 5 uses the VPN feature to block ads (gets access to your device) and Blokada 6 uses cloud filtering to block ads ( doesn’t have access to your device).

Find the main differences between the Blokada 5 and 6:

Comparison	Blokada 5	Blokada 6
Is it paid?	No	Yes
Where can I install it?	Blokada’s main website	Google Play Store & Apple App Store
OS requires	Android 5 and above	Android 9 and above
How does it work?	It uses a local VPN method	It connects your device to the cloud server
Is it going to be updated?	Yes	Yes and will come with new advanced features
Does it work with VPN (Blokada Plus)?	Yes	Yes
Ability to whitelist apps	Yes	No(due to the technical limitations)
Blue mode	Libre	Cloud

To sum it up, the Blokada variants will be streamlined in the following way:

• Blokada 6, on Google Play and App Store, requires a subscription, higher OS requirements, new advanced features
• Blokada 5, on blokada.org , no subscription required, lower OS requirements, no new advanced features but still gets updated.

This causes certain technical limitations and that’s why the whitelisting & network feature can’t be implemented.
