Ability to configure the site/domain which is pinged to check if online connectivity is working #27

Closed ArcticDev78 closed 5 months ago

ArcticDev78 commented 5 months ago

Hi, I am currently experiencing an issue with Newsflash after installing the Portmaster firewall software. When I open the Newsflash application while the Portmaster firewall is running, the firewall seems to block the “example.com” network traffic that goes through “System DNS”. The following screenshot shows the info:

I've been trying everything that can be done to allow this network traffic, but it simply does not seem to work. A possible solution would be to allow the user to be able to configure a custom site or domain which will be pinged to check if the online connectivity is working. Thank you.

Thanks a lot, I modified the ping_url and it works now! :tada:
