Adaway: feature requests

Created on 22 Jan 2018  路  4Comments  路  Source: AdAway/AdAway

hello,
I think the following should be considered for a new version of the app:

option to:
1) backup hosts file (like hostsman app for windows does)
2) update our hosts file every week automatically
3) export hosts sources
4) apply blacklist and whitelist without downloading hosts sources

regards

edit: I've got another issue: integrated webserver gets stopped (e.g. after reboot) and
I cannot figure out why

enhancement

Any reason we use 127.0.0.1 over 0.0.0.0? Regarding the README.md of StevenBlack and my own knowledge using 0.0.0.0 is empirically faster, possibly because there's no wait for a timeout resolution.

Can I also add a simple option to choose 0.0.0.0 instead of 127.0.0.1 which works equally well and results in a smaller file?
PS: I've opened a new issue for this feature request: #1228

Export / import hosts sources are also requested here: #999 #950
