My eBlocker is working fine at my home environment. 

Can I take the eBlocker to a vacation environment, fare away from my home but Germany, where also a router is available and connect eBlocker to it ?

In other words, during vacation I want to be secured by the eBlocker. At home there is the FritzBox running alone. 

When coming back from vacation eBlocker will be added to home environment soon. 

Are there any issues to do this - or should I follow a special routine for adding eBlocker at vacation location ?

Kind regards Hartmut

You could also set up eBlocker Mobile, leave the eBlocker at home and connect remotely.

But if you want to take eBlocker with you, it depends on the network mode you are running. If you have it in individual or expert network mode, you should switch it back to auto mode at home. The reason is that the network address could be different at the vacation location.

For example, if your home network has address 192.168.178.0 but the vacation location has 192.168.1.0 and your eBlocker has a fixed IP address, it won't work. You would have to change eBlocker's configuration at the vacation location which could be difficult.

Also something to think about: if it's a rented place you probably won't have access to the router's settings, so it could be difficult to find the eBlocker in the network if something does not work immediately.
