FAQ
-
Can this plugin break other plugins?
-
Yes, blocking certain external requests may interfere with plugins that require API access, updates, or check-ins. Review your blocked hosts list if another plugin stops communicating with an external service.
-
How do I use regular expressions?
-
Any line in the blocked hosts list that starts and ends with a slash (
/pattern/) is treated as a regex pattern. Example:/example\.com/i.
