Expand If you want the specific details of what it does I would need to ask a developer about that - no one has asked that before! I assume that if the device attempts access to anything on the internet it simply has a rule in place that blocks/rejects all traffic from said device.

Expand Yeah if you can do that it would be much, much appreciated. I am mostly interested in technical details around cutting the connection as soon as the block button is pressed.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 11, 2021 Administrators Share Posted January 11, 2021 Just an update for you, I received this reply from a dev: "What we do is using the iptables firewall blocking all traffic going through this device using iptables rules that can block/unblock traffic to any device" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
