Leechblock doesn't block sites #485

Closed CentroChico closed 4 weeks ago

CentroChico commented 3 months ago

The title is pretty self explanatory. I add sites and keyword to the blocklist, I allow every permission and nothing is ever blocked.

The thing is supposed to help me reclaimed my time, but I'm here having lost one hour trying to make it work

Did you specify time periods and/or a time limit?

See the examples page for some pointers.

There's a list without and 2 lists with time periods. None of them work

Please export your options to a text file (Options > General > Export Options) and email it to me at leechblockng@proginosko.com so I can take a closer look.

Done

Thanks. I see that you have a list of sites and keywords in both block sets. What this means is that those sites will only be blocked when one of the keywords is found on those sites. See here for explanation of keyword blocking.

If you want those sites to be blocked always, and also for any sites with those keywords to be blocked, you will need to set up two block sets, like this:

Block Set 1 blockme.com blockmetoo.com

Block Set 2 * ~keyword1 ~keyword2

If that's not what you had in mind, let me know.
