    was probably good in 2020 when it was released, but at this point it doesn't even block anything on ebay, much less anywhere else. seems your battle has been won

    It is not clear how to add a domain to the exceptions? The only input field adds the domain to the "PortAuthority Blocking" list. Had to disable due to the inability to use the extension with a local network application web interface.

    Port Authority 2.1.0
    Mozilla Firefox 140.0 (64-bit)

    A large update (v2.2.0) is waiting for approval from Mozilla and should be out in a few days with a fix to this problem

    Doesn't ublock origin do the same with the filter list "Block Outsider Intrusion into LAN" enabled?

    Good Project. Needs persistent settings. Gear Icon not available.

    Mozilla just approved PortAuthority v2.0.0 which has persistent settings and added the whitelist (gear icon). Enjoy!

    Thank you, ACK-J - this little extension works well. However, I've only rated it 3 stars because sometimes it proves to be a somewhat counter-productive annoyance. This plugin really, really needs a "whitelisting" option. For example, I can't log in and use box(dot)com and a couple of other sites/services that I use to backup my files online, unless I remember to temporarily disable 'Port Authority'. Please add a whitelisting option - that will make it a fully 5 star extension.
