For some reason, for the second year in a row, donations are being billed from my account even though I have cancelled them. I am living in Austria and write in this forum, because I cannot for some reason enter the German discord. 

Please help!

There are some special settings that must be set in UTM.

You can download UTM from https://mac.getutm.app/.

Download an eBlocker image and unpack it:

• eBlocker 4: https://eblocker.org/official-downloads/eBlockerVM-4.0.2-amd64-beta.img.xz

• or eBlocker 3: https://eblocker.org/official-downloads/eBlocker-3.0.3-amd64.img.gz

Start UTM on Intel macOS and create a new VM. Select Virtualize.

As operating system select Linux.

Set the number of cores to 2 or 4.

Keep the checkbox Use Apple Virtualization disabled.

Select Import existing drive.

Browse to the downloaded and extracted eBlocker image file.

Do not add a shared directory on the next screen.

On the summary page, rename the VM to eBlocker and save the settings.

Important: do not start the VM yet. Open the settings of the new VM first.

Select QEMU and disable UEFI Boot.

Select Devices/Display and set the emulated display card to isa-vga.

Select Devices/Network and set the network mode to Bridged (Advanced).

Start the VM and open the settings URL in your browser:

Happy eBlocking!

Hello and thanks for the qiuck response and, on the other hand, sorry for my late one.

With "crashes the internet" is following behavior meant:

If I connect the "defect Pi4" with inserted eBlocker4 to the internet, using the internal ethernet-connector, it overtakes the IP-Adress of the router, the router is no longer accessable (nor with the IP-Adress, which now belongs to the eBlocker, neither with "fritz.box")  and no Internet-connection (with all other devices, too) is possible. I tried this with a new installation of eBlocker4 on a testetd used SD-Card, done with the AppImage with LinuxMint 21.3. The same eBlocker4-SD-Card works fine on a PI400. To make this test with a new SD-Card, I first have to get one (is ordered, but unfortually is missing on mail-delivery).

If I start the "defect PI4" with Bullseye, the same error occurs when connected with the internal ethernet-connector and workes fine with the adapter.  

This RasPi4 worked fine in the past, I started with eBlocker 2.8 somewhere in 2022. Then, I guess a year ago, this error occured 2 or 3 times but has always been solved by power-on-reset of the PI4.

Next problem: I don't know how to run the "traceroute eblocker.org" test. And, if I will know, due to the Internet-Problem, it can't be done with the eBloker on the "defect PI4".

So I'm waiting for rmy new SD-Card and some help for the "traceroute eblocker.org" test, which, as named above, can only be done with the PI400.

By the way: I tried to use the AppImage with the PI400 using Bullseye - it didn't even start. Do I need a newer OS?

Thanks and kind regards

Thomas

I'm sure we find a different solution once the problem is fully clear. At the very moment I have not understood the problem. I already don't understand, what "crashes the Internet" mean at all? Please be more specific like "if I try XXX, I get YYY but I expected ZZZ" and describe in detail what you do.

Generally, if I get you right, you have two Raspi 4 - on is working fine with eBlockerOS, the other is not. Correct?

Have you tried a fresh install of eBlockerOS (writing a new SD card with eBlockerOS) and used this in the bogus eBlocker? 

If the issue persist with a new SD, please run a "traceroute eblocker.org" with both(!) eBlockers and post results here for comparison. 

THX!
