Block neighborhood node no longer possible?
Dear all

following the documentation, it should be possible to block a neighborhood node:

"For nodes having multiple RF connections, there will be a field that shows the current link status to the right of the node name. Clicking in this field will give you options for handling the RF link to this node, including the ability to block or unblock that node’s traffic. You are not allowed to block a link that is your node’s only connection to the network."

It looks like this option isn't available any longer on 3.25.8.0 ? I wanted to do that temporarily for one node, but cannot find this button for blocking/unblocking as it is described in the documentation.

Thanks for checking, best 73s

Click on the node in question
Click on the node in question but off to the right side LQ not over the call sign and I believe you will find your setting.

Blocking nodes
With the inclusion of Babel alongside OLSR, it became impossible to provide the blocking function for both routing protocols.  Since OLSR will be dropped from the code in a couple of months, the decision was made to support node blocking in the Babel-only code.

Hope this helps.
