Whitelist - acting as blacklist? V3.3.1

#### Please follow the below template, it will help us to help you!

Expected Behaviour:

Whitelist shouldn’t act as a blacklist. URL added previously for site in blocking was probably removed during an update.

Actual Behaviour:

If something is on whitelist without a blacklist entry somewhere that entry now acts as a blacklist. Please see attached screenshot.

Btw, thank you guys (and gals) for this cool tool!!!!!

Keep up the great work.

Maybe, I didn’t RTFM.... I had it happen with another site...

;-(

Exiting and restarting webbrowser per the warning page fixed it the second time...

Doh...

I think that might have been my problem.

Maybe a pop-up “Did you try exiting THIS browser if this is a recently changed black/whitelist site?”
[Yes] [No]

Hmmm,

Thanks

Can you flush your browser cache? This was a an issue in 3.3 but should be rectified in v3.3.1.

I didn’t try that, but restarting my browser (iOS safari) fixed it.

I didn’t know going into “Airplane Mode” is the official way to do it...

So, I think everything is working.

2 minor enhancements would:

  1. A text message when pihole -w/b finishes to also say restart browsers and/or flush or dns caches on your devices.

  2. The pop up mentioned previously in this post, also when using the web to black/whitelist to remind people

I can submit these if you think they are worth the effort.

Thanks

Frank
