Hello Newsletter Subscriber,

At the beginning of the year there is good news again at eBlocker:

Bugfix Release 3.0.2
We are delighted that eBlockerOS 3 with IPv6 support is stable and very well received. Unfortunately, a small bug had crept in that prevented eBlocker backups from being created. We have fixed this bug with the 3.0.2 update. At the same time, the new release also includes TLS Crypt support for VPNs. This means VPN providers such as Proton are now also fully supported.

Update to eBlockerOS 3.0.2
If your eBlocker receives daily updates, it has already been automatically updated to 3.0.2 last night. Otherwise, you should update it manually as soon as possible.

SD images for new installs
Together with the new release, we have provided new SD card images for Raspberry Pi (models 2, 3 and 4) and the Banana Pi M2+. eBlockerOS can now be installed without waiting for the update. The new image for virtual machines is scheduled for February.

Finances: 2023 with a black zero
Only thanks to the good donation situation in December were we able to close last year in the black for the first time in four years. 🙏 Many thanks to all donors!
Although this means we are slightly "cash flow positive", the very small surplus is nowhere near enough to cover the deficits of the past. Even though this first quarter is likely to be another financial challenge due to lower donations, we are looking positively to the future.

We remain highly motivated and hope we can continue our ambitious project in the long term thanks to your support. Every donation, no matter how small, helps us to achieve this. We are particularly pleased about IBAN transfer donations, because we have significantly lower deductions due to transaction costs.

By the way: Unfortunately, we cannot process donations for automatic daily updates via IBAN transfer, as the creation of the license key is an automated process linked to the online donation.

Share on Mastodon
Are you happy with your eBlocker? Then please share it on social media - especially on Mastodon! A "before/after" screenshot of your favorite website often says more than many words. Or post a screenshot that shows a particularly large number of trackers on a website that you are (no longer) annoyed about.

Every post helps us spread the word about the benefits of eBlockerOS. Please join in and ping us: @eBlocker_org@social.tchncs.de👍

We look forward to new features in 2024, more team members and strong support from you, our dear community!

Thank you for your trust and have a great 2024 🚀

Best regards
Boris, Christian and the entire eBlocker team
