 * **new list sources:** you could add new blocklist sources on your own via uci config, all you need is a source url and an awk one-liner (see example below)
 * **AP mode:** in AP mode adblock uses automatically the local router ip as nullip address. To make sure that your LuCI interface will be still accessible, please change the local uhttpd instance to ports <> 80/443 (see example below)
+* **adblock toggle:** to quickly switch adblocking 'on' or 'off', simply use _/etc/init.d/adblock toggle_
+* **outdated configuration:** if adblock detects an outdated config file, please copy the current version from '/etc/adblock/adblock.conf.default' to '/etc/config/adblock', make your individual changes and finally restart the adblock service
 * **debugging:** for script debugging please change the 'DEBUG' variable in the header of _/usr/bin/adblock-update.sh_ from '0' to '1' and start this script directly (without any parameters)
 * **disable active dns probing in windows:** to prevent a possible yellow exclamation mark on your internet connection icon (which wrongly means connected, but no internet), please change the following registry key/value from "1" to "0" _HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NlaSvc\Parameters\Internet\EnableActiveProbing_
