Correct way of updating block list when not using DNSMASQ #27

Hi, thanks a lot for the software! I'm currently using maza without dnsmasq, and it seems like the only time maza writes rules to the hosts file is at maza start command. So in order to properly update the block list, do I need to restart maza every time rather than just calling maza update?

Hi @osiers000 ! Thanks for reporting the problem. The host file will now be updated when you use the update command. Be careful that your configurations must be in the /root/.config/maza folder! If you don't have any, you shouldn't do anything. Enjoy it!
