I followed the steps for pluckeye two weeks ago but would struggle to explain exactly what I did. Works great however since then, my webcam on my laptop won't work - just shows a camera icon with a diagonal line through it on all apps. Could this be because of pluckeye? Have you heard of this before? I checked the app permissions for the camera and all are on Thanks
I don’t think there is an ‘official’ way to do it. You could use flee, for example: Pluck + flee word badword This will block all sites containing the string “badword” in its content not just the URL.
But isn't it a bit extreme you think? Say you want to block the word 'porn', then even this site would be blocked no?
Yes, but allow rules override flee rules. So use pluck + allow nofap.com This is the only way that I know to predict if a webpage is safe or not.
But, but, allow function comes into effect only after the delay period right? I think it takes too much effort to identify all the 'badwords' and then whitelist websites. I'll give myself one chance, and if I relapse using youtube, restricted mode it is. And btw thanks for all your efforts man, you are a life saver.
Maybe you could just use flee with bad channels' names. Trust me, you can be creative. I really appreciate your words, man. Thank you!
hey man, I have added a way to enforce an extension called Blocksi using pluckeye, it has a youtube filter. It might help
xXsinnerXx Can you please make pluckeye guide on how to use it and upload it on youtube? please I don't understand how to use plucky.
Maybe, you're right. It may seem complicated at first. I will add that to my to-do list. Could you tell me which steps you found hard to understand?
Hey! Thank you for this tutorial. I have two questions: - can I use any other family filter DNS, such as 1.1.1.3? - Where exactly can I change the level? I couldn't find it anywhere. Using Manjaro Linux and latest Chromium... Edit: Level 2 is called "System: On" since Pluck 1.0 Now it works great on Chromium, but I prefer Firefox, which now has all images blocked, but still access to porn sites. Any ideas? I'm using Firefox 87 with Pluck-Addon
Yes, you can. Just change your system's DNS to that one and make changes to the pluckeye rules. Firefox is unsupported by pluckeye 1.0, unfortunately Anytime!
Hi, when I try setting the installation to level 2 it says this. Failed to set the installation level because pluck set 'level 2' failed with status: 809140249 What should I do?
Yes that was me. I accidentally ended up having two versions of pluckeye at once. I've done a system restore so I can properly install. Which version do you suggest I go with?
Also, I understand that these blockers block torrent sites as well, is it possible to only block porn related/NSFW torrents but not others? I ask, because I download movies and shows from torrents
You could do a lot more with 1.0 I think Cold Turkey could be used to do that. It will block only URLs that contain bad words.
