After starting the application, Blocky will automatically start and listen on UDP port 53 2. **Important:** You need to use the LAN Port Forwarder tool to map TCP & UDP port 53 from your LazyCat LAN IP to this application in order to use it as a DNS server via the LazyCat IP 3. Set your device or router's DNS server to the IP address of the host running Blocky 4. Customize blocking rules and upstream DNS servers by editing `/data/appvar/cloud.lazycat.app.liu.blocky/config/config.yml` on your LazyCat 5. Restart the application to apply configuration changes 6. Access the management interface (if configured) to view statistics and manage rules ## Configuration The configuration file is located at `/data/appvar/cloud.lazycat.app.liu.blocky/config/config.yml` on your LazyCat. You can configure: - Upstream DNS servers - Blocking lists (ads, malware, etc.) - Allowlist domains - Client group rules - Cache settings - Log level For detailed configuration instructions, please refer to: https://0xERR0R.github.io/blocky/configuration/
