Whitelisting Tesla on Blokada
February 12, 2023 5:24 PM   Subscribe

How can I get my adblocker to stop blocking my Tesla app?

Blokada has started blocking the Tesla app, causing a "401 Session Expired" error.

The error goes away if I turn Blokada off, so I know that's what's causing it.

Fun complication: In Blokada 6, you can't whitelist specific apps.

Based on some Googling, I whitelisted the following domains, but it hasn't solved the issue:

tesla.com
tesla.cn
tesla.services
teslaautomation.de
teslaenergy.services
teslagrohmannautomation.de
teslamotors.cn
teslamotors.com
teslazta.net
ts.la
telemetry-prd.ap.tesla.services
telemetry-prd.vn.tesla.services

What else am I missing that I should be including?

Reading off some un-blocked domains from pi-hole from a recent charge session: Some to consider:

vehicle-files.teslamotors.com
api-prd.vn.tesla.services
telemetry-prd.vn.tesla.services

optimizationguide-pa.googleapis.com

Response by poster: Thanks rongorongo - added those, but still getting the error.

Does it support wildcards, i.e. *tesla*?

connman.vn.tesla.services

[to cops as they drag me off] You’re making a mistake! I’m the connection manager!

I did notice this and pause for a moment to ask myself "Am I really whitelisting this?". Presumably either "Control Manager" or Elon's private feed.

Good thought, but unfortunately no!

Looks like Blokada does have a way to log the domains it's blocking. If you find that setting, and turn on logging of blocked domains, and then start your Tesla app, I would expect the log to show you exactly what you need to whitelist.

Turn the logging off again once you're done with it, so that Blokada doesn't end up compromising your privacy by leaking your site browsing history.
