    If there is something on my machines that blackfog.com doesn't like, maybe BFP should be detecting and blocking it.

    You can add individual sites to a block list in BlackFog, it would be nice to be able to add complete filter lists, then you would not need uBlock you could just import its lists.

    it's seems a good idea
    Indeed, being able to import Hagezi Normal (https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/hagezi/dns-blocklists@latest/adblock/multi.txt) + TIF (https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/hagezi/dns-blocklists@latest/adblock/tif.txt) under BlackFog would be great
    At the moment i stop using vpn
    i use NextDNS (Hagezi normal + OISD) + Blackfog + HitmanPro.Alert + uBlock Origin (with Multi PRO mini) under Betterfox
    We should ask @Darren Williams if this might be possible. It would be insane
    @Darren Williams
    Can you suggest to the development team that we be able to import .txt filters into BlackFog + some DNS privacy please ?!
    That would be a great advantage!

    That would great, maybe have the filter lists show up in settings with an icon and enable box like the pre-installed ones do.

    Been looking at this product today, firstly installed in my VM, what I found it installs AdvinstAnalytics
    C:\USERS\WIN11USER\APPDATA\LOCAL\ADVINSTANALYTICS\

    I know companies install this Advanced Installer Analytics feature as part of their installer to keep track of the number of successful installations, but this should be made clear as a lot of other security products mark this a potential unwanted product.

    As a fan and member of this website we are security conscious so would like some insight.

    The Android version is now on Google Play. My old version became unlicensed and the new version (5.1.1.630) won't let me activate it. Currently using a 14 day trail and am in contact with @Darren Williams.

    There's a new version for Windows coming soon too apparently.

    New Windows version will be out soon. I'm helping Darren sort out a few small issues first.

    Note: I am still having connection issues when using Kaspersky VPN, but the team is still investigating. Apparently, all other VPNs work fine.

    That's what I thought too.

    Did you perhaps mean thumbs up?

    The BlackFog icon in my Notification Area has turned into an orange shield from the previous "trenchcoat spy" icon. Also, when I click on this icon and the Dashboard opens, every item (advertising profiling, geofence, etc.) is at 0 (zero). Are both of these expected?

    I'd say, yeah.

    The icon has changed, so that's normal. My counters get reset pretty often here, so I wouldn't worry about that. It should start counting again now you've updated.

    Hope that helps.

    Apart from the reset Krusty mentions, you also kan try this: Open the UI and choose exfiltration and then dashboard again you will then see the updated numbers in the dashboard.

    Thanks @Krusty and @Sir Percy for the info. :thumb: Good to know that BFP on this machine wasn't being attacked somehow!

    Clicking on exfiltration and then back to the dashboard did the trick, too.

    1) on the exfiltration map, when we reset host & process with ctrl+r
    green location dots don't
    2) on forensics, clean interval doesnt work if i set daily or weekly

    1) the green geolocation dots on the exfiltration map are buggy and never reset to their correct values.
    I've had frozen green dots since the last 5.0.1 update
    (even after uninstalling and reinstalling BF)

    2) Please provide a direct download link on the site so that you can download the latest stable version.
    It's a pain, every time you have to fill in a form to get the download link by email, even if you're already a personnal customer (no direct link on the store).

    Cheers.
