There's no ? by Internet->connect after installing an app. I'm confused because it USED to prompt me for connect IPs but doesn't anymore. I'm not sure if I changed something or if something in the app changed.

My template has prompt turned on for Internet->connect (first checkbox blank, second ?), but when I install an app and look at the app permissions, the ? is not there. Internet->connect is also shaded red, which I understand means "dangerous".

The quote on the doc page says:

Prompts will not be shown for dangerous functions unless Restrict dangerous functions is enabled
    An exception are functions with white/black lists

In global settings I have "Restrict on demand" enabled and "Restrict dangerous functions" disabled. As I understand it, this should prompt me for Internet->connect requests due to the exception listed above. I don't get prompted. When I look at the Internet->connect app config, there's no ? there. If I turn the ? on in the app, it works fine.

If I long tap in the template on Internet->connect to make it "not dangerous" then install the app, I get the prompts fine, and the Internet->connect app config shows ?.

If the right fix is to tell XPrivacy Internet->connect is not a dangerous functions, so be it. It just seems to conflict with the docs as I read them which makes me think something else is wrong.

I'm not trying to be difficult, but I really don't think this is low priority. If I'm the only one seeing it, I suppose I understand. If I'm not the only one, suddenly I'm not getting any prompts and connect is no longer blocked. That sure seems like a high priority.

If I can provide any information from my exported settings, please let me know.

It is low priority because it is not a fatal bug and because this bug, or more a missing feature, is not caused by a recent change. It is there for quite some time and you are the only one that complained about it.

Please note that XPrivacy is free software which I have made, maintain and support in my free time. I try to fix critical bugs ASAP. This isn't a critical bug, which I will fix, but at the time of my own choosing.
