Is there a way to investigate / update the Ad Block list? I'm running (beta) 1.966 (g7ec3153) and not afraid of ssh or the command line. :-)

  Whitelisting is coming soon to beta  ... please watch out for announcements.   White list will allow you to except "blocks"

  Thanks, looking forward to it. That way I can have Ad Block without losing my video progress in YouTube.

  Is the block list stored on the local Firewalla?

  Cool, thanks. Where on the box is it? I poked around with 'find', but saw nothing obvious.

  It is not as simple as a list ... everything starts as a list and we have software to put them together (optimization)  Both the list and the optimization are not user-configurable

  Ah, I see. I'll wait for whitelisting in the beta.

  Thanks!

  I have turned ON AD block however, I still see ads on YouTube videos every few mins. Anyone noticing this issue?

  Firewalla can't be used to block youtube ad's.  see https://help.firewalla.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004274673-Ad-Block
