In FastNetMon Advanced we have complete support for native Telegram alerts about ban and unban actions for blackhole mode. It’s available starting from 2.0.329.
To use notifications you need to create bot in Telegram. To create bot you will need to contact special @BotFather account in Telegram and then follow instruction.
