I'm lost. What's the blocklist?

[anthonybriand]

Sorry I wasn't clear, it's corresponding to the loaded ipSet, cf code block:

webtorrent/index.js

Lines 149 to 161 in 0bf7b97

	if (typeof loadIPSet === 'function' && opts.blocklist != null) {
	loadIPSet(opts.blocklist, {
	headers: {
	'user-agent': 'WebTorrent/' + VERSION + ' (https://webtorrent.io)'
	}
	}, function (err, ipSet) {
	if (err) return self.error('Failed to load blocklist: ' + err.message)
	self.blocked = ipSet
	ready()
	})
	} else {
	process.nextTick(ready)
	}

It would be important to be able to update periodically or on demand the ipSet blocklist without restarting the client

Fair point, once WebTorrent Desktop exposes this functionality in Preferences, we'll probably need this functionality.
