Hi

I use the eblocker app on iPad. No I configured a new eblocker and it got a new IP address.

Now I cannot configure the app to use the new eblocker or IP address. What can I do?

Now I cannot configure the app

Please share the error or more details of what you mean by this.

Background: the eBlocker App just tries to discover the eBlocker in your network. The configuration is passed to Safari. So the question is: does the App find your new eBlocker? Screenshot would be helpful.

Have you tried to „kill“ the app (double click on iOS button and swipe app to top of screen).

Are you sure the new eBlocker is connected properly (LEDs are lit/blinking) and iOS device is in the same network as eBlocker (not in a „guest“ network etc.)?

THX!

@random no error. Just no connection. But it seems, not verified often yet, that killing the app works. Must test more. My iPad is usually in another subnet and I connect manually via IP address. Let me try more tomorrow. Thanks

@taipan A new eBlocker usually get‘s a new IP address. So accessing it via the „old“ IP will rarely work.

Nevertheless the eBlocker App should discover the new eBlocker (and it‘s IP). That‘s what it‘s made for 😉 

THX!
