Blocklist refresh consumes huge mobile data #869

Open Lotus815 opened 3 years ago

Lotus815 commented 3 years ago

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 connected to Wifi.

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

Version: 5.12 (F-Droid)

Workaround: Install older version. Kill Blokada.

The "only update on wifi" option was present in version 4 I believe and would be good to bring back I definitely think. There's plenty of people who still don't pay for unlimited data out here.

Would be nice to have option to control how often blokada lists are updated, weekly daily monthly biweekly etc

That was also part of the V4 setting that may need looking into.
