Problems description


Blokada doesn't blocks ads - Basically I have blacklist from Uni9fied hosts files and also from adblock.mahakala.is which contains 254k hosts.


The notification issue - Basically I have set it up as enabled which is pretty much the correct way and even though when I try to go any sites, First of all it doesn't block any ads so I assume meaning it doesn't pop out, Even though there was some sites that got blocked but no notification popped out either.


Expected behaviour
I assume the issue with blocks would be that it actually blocks those sites that has ads on it, Etc. Twitch. Worked superb on version before the 3.0. Never had a issue and all the ads got blocked, Now everytime I want to watch twitch, it gives me ads, Same thing when it comes to streaming through Chrome app or even normal sites.
Notification should be tell me a notification telling what hosts it has blocked.
Actual behaviour
Basically nothing happened with those - No ads getting blocked and no notification popping out at all.
I have tried to restart multiply times, restart and clear cache on blokada, Reinstalled and tried new hosts but still same issue.

It started after the update.

Closing comment (2018-09-22T08:26:45Z): @kar since a few days I have exactly the same behaviour again.
Should I open a new issue for that or rather reopen this one?
It says that it is Blokada 3.4 (100500) (latest version from F-Droid) although the Changelog says that 3.5 (and 4.6 beta) should be available since a while. The app itself also claims that there are no new updates.
"Keep alive" is set to on and "Online only" is set to off since ages because the "online recognition" didn't work reliable for me (it is a different issue though: #119).
And this way it worked until recently.
Putting Blokada off and on again didn't help and device restarts didn't help either.
The app runs on a Galaxy S9 with latest updates  (Android 8.0.0 / Kernel 4.9.59-14049503-QB19624926). Is there any information I could provide to help investigating into this?
PS: Just to clarify this: This issue is not related to #239. Because Blokada keeps running and the device is still connected to the VPN. But it doesn't block anything, it doesn't show popups and it doesn't increase the blocking counter.
