Hey all, All is in the title. We would like to know if iodé lacks features that you find essential in other adblockers. Off you go! Thanks ---

not a system-wide adblocker, but I’m still running uBlock origin (and other privacy addons) in my web browser on the phone BTW: I’m running [Fennec](https://f-droid.org/de/packages/org.mozilla.fennec_fdroid/) instead of your build-in version of Firefox as it allows me to [install not just the preselected addons](https://www.androidpolice.com/install-add-on-extension-mozilla-firefox-android/), most importantly [I still don’t care about cookies](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/istilldontcareaboutcookies/) ---

Hi there, I was wondering whether it would be possible to add Regex style blocking to the firewall system. This is a common feature in tools like NextDNS, and allows users to block multiple websites at once rather than having to, as far as I understand currently, visit every website I want to add and then go into the Iode app to manually block it. What do you guys think? ---

wildcards are already under discussion ---

Hello, I’m using AdAway and AFWall+ since the built in app does not recognize any apps in the work profile which is a pitty. Would be happy to get that fixed 🙂 . And in the iodé app there is also no possibility to block single adresses for single applications. I can only block domains or subdomains but i want to block a specific address. Or I’m too stupid… So or so add customized domains/entries would be nice not only the given list. Thank you guys! ---

Thanks that did work. But is there a chance to block all internet traffic but allow only LAN traffic in the app? ---

Eventually not via the blocker, but via app settings itself app settings / mobile data and wi-fi / switches on or off ---

Thanks for the hint but it didn’t work. I assume if I block the wifi-switch the app can not use wifi at all and of course its needs wifi to get into my LAN network (192.168.x.x). However it might also be a problem with this special app (Plex). I will try to play around blocking some of the domains it contacts. ---

OK, then it’s mot possible with onboard tools or iode blocker maybe netguard app, but it means another blocker/firewall additionally ---

Hi there, I don’t use any other adblocker/firewall app. (well, except Brave browser). Iode is perfect for me 🤗 ---

Hello, I have uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger and Decentraleyes extensions installed in my browser because the idea to browse again without them never occurred to me. It’s not the same but I still have UntrackMe installed to have redirections to privacy respective clients. It seems to me that iodé is blocking the pop-up from that app to display the full link that I clicked on, I do not have it anymore and I am missing it a bit. But I may have missed a configuration option somewhere in the app and in this case it would be unrelated to iodé. ---

At the system level I don’t use any other blocker, but also a VPN. This was also the final reason to use iode. A system-level blocker and freely available VPN. For browsing I use Fennec with my own addons from my Firefox collection to prevent fingerprinting, or cookie handling (I don’t care about cookies), disabling WebRTC, and some more, etc. ---

Some reasons why i use other blockers beside iode blocker: I think the iodé blocker doesnt work with the workprofil. I prefer to have some apps in the workprofil. An option to load other block lists. Whitelisting option(popups) Block connections when screen is off Customblocking hasnt the best management gui ---

I like personalDNSfilter ([https://www.zenz-solutions.de/personaldnsfilter-wp](https://www.zenz-solutions.de/personaldnsfilter-wp)) a lot! I bought his (Freeware!) app. Great guy. Please have a look at: [https://www.zenz-solutions.de](https://www.zenz-solutions.de) This in fact allows blocklists that can be found on (for example) [https://www.zenz-solutions.de/personaldnsfilter-wp](https://www.zenz-solutions.de/personaldnsfilter-wp) My favorite: [https://oisd.nl](https://oisd.nl). Maintained by Stephan van Ruth. These are by far the best blocklists I know of! ---
