qBittorrent official forums

Probably nobish question so excuise me for it...I mean does the ip bloker list has to stay on the disk after applying the rules? Is it still needed? And if so, then do I have to reapply them at some point (eg after an upgrade or possibly after a system restart)?

From what I remember it points to a file on disk, so each time you restart system or Qbit it loads from that file.

I use system wide blocklist no longer needing a specific one for torrent client.
