very good and useful but could be better if the bugs be solved. for example it should be more reliable with out any mistake in action. thanks

It's great, I hope it continues because there is no alternative

this only can block domains with some specific IPs. But you can not set it to block all IPs except some specific IPs (Whitelist do not work).
