Enabling blocklist in Transmission in NAS4Free


If you have tried enabling blocklist in Transmission in NAS4Free (using Transmission web interface or a client such as Transmission Remote GUI), you might have noticed that the setting goes away when you restart Transmission service and/or NAS4Free device. Pretty annoying, I know. The reason for this is the transmission startup script configures blocklist (i.e. whether it is enabled or not) based on transmission_blocklist variable in rc.conf regardless of the setting in the transmission settings file.

Knowing this, the fix is actually quite simple: go to System -> Advanced -> rc.conf and create rc.conf variable named transmission_blocklist with the value of “YES” (without quotes):


Restart the Transmission service to apply the setting and check it worked.
