I think the idea is that it blocks everything on your machine instead of causing the whole network to go offline as piholes are generally applied to the entire home network.

Your mileage might vary, but in my home, causing my smarthome plus my wife and children’s internet to go offline might cause a bigger distraction to my focus. Also you couldn’t use a pi-hole at work for instance.

I wanted to build my tool because eventually I want to support multi-tenancy. Custom allowlists and schedules for all family members.

"can run" / "can be configured to run" / "is not documented but can" != "is purpose built for allowlisting workflow as simple as possible"

- single binary file deployment

- TUI based configuration

- API endpoints
