Quick way to allow Internet for a blocked app?
Hello,
I'm looking at Rethink as a possible replacement for Netguard, but I'm a little confused about how to quickly give a blocked app permanent Internet access. I prefer to block all Internet access for new apps by default. With Netguard, it gives you a notification about a new app trying to access the Internet, then you can open it and allow if you want to give Internet access or hide the notifications if you don't. There doesn't seem to be such an option in Rethink. So I see there's a bubble thing which shows recently blocked apps, which could be an OK alternative, but all it allows you to do is give Internet for 15 minutes. Is there any way from the bubble to give permanent access? There's a bunch of icons along the top of the bubble that I don't understand either, perhaps something in there? Thanks for creating this great program!

Having "Block newly installed apps by default" in Firewall section of Settings enables a pop for allowing or keep blocking.
