Welcome!

So I uninstalled and reinstall and could see it scanned and added more domains. it means that this service does not scan frequently :(

Hello diepnt90, I had the same problem, but I found a solution. After the installation, go to the file "/lib/systemd/system/ytadsblocker.service" as root and add the parameter "-a" in the call to ytadsblocker.sh. Check whether the change has also been adopted in the file. Reboot the system. Otherwise ytadsblocker.service will not be started. I have attached the picture before and after . Check if the service runs with "systemctl status ytadsblocker" Should look like this: I wish you success.

Hi @HugoFroh,

I've made the change that you suggested. The script is now working.

Version 3.7.3 has been released.

Thanks

I'm closing this issue. Thanks to everyone!
