quick enable/disable hblock

[mindyourlifeguide]

Tell me how to quickly turn it on and off now? This solution stopped working after version 3.0.

[hectorm]

This should work the same as before, by overwriting the HBLOCK_SOURCES environment variable.

• Disable: HBLOCK_SOURCES='' hblock
• Enable: hblock

[hectorm@hydrogen ~]$ HBLOCK_SOURCES='' hblock -qO-
# Generated with:  https://github.com/hectorm/hblock
# Blocked domains: 1

# BEGIN HEADER
127.0.0.1       localhost hydrogen

Not working.

I found a way to disable hblock.
hblock -S /dev/null
Is it possible to disable this or is it worth figuring out why that command (HBLOCK_SOURCES='' hblock) does not work?

[hectorm]

You can provide the output of the following command to know what is happening:

HBLOCK_SOURCES='' sh -x "$(command -v hblock)"

[hectorm]

However, the next version will support -S none to disable hBlock without having to resort to this type of workarounds.

This functionality is already implemented in the dev branch, but it is still experimental and subject to changes.

Here is the console output:

Then I will turn off the method above for now, and with the update I will switch to the official method.
Thanks!

[hectorm]

Could you please paste the terminal output instead of an image so I can read it in detail?

[mindyourlifeguide]

Of course, keep logfile.txt

[mindyourlifeguide]

Can I close this issue?

[hectorm]

Now I understand why it does not work, the presence of the /etc/hblock/sources.list file has priority over the environment variable.

This will be solved in the next version and since you have found a workaround, I consider the issue solved.

Thanks for reporting this.
