 - `--threads=<threads number>` Specifies the amount of threads you want to be running for your program. This defaults to **1** and shouldn't be edited for normal use. But if you really want multiple queue instances of youtubeUnblock, note that you should change --queue-num to --queue balance. For example, with 4 threads, use `--queue-balance 537:540` on iptables and `queue num 537-540` on nftables.
 
+- `--daemonize` Daemonizes the youtubeUnblock (forks and detaches it from the shell). Terminate the program with `killall youtubeUnblock`.
+
+- `--noclose` Usable only with `--daemonize`. Will not redirect io streams to /dev/null.
+
 - `--packet-mark=<mark>` Use this option if youtubeUnblock conflicts with other systems rely on packet mark. Note that you may want to change accept rule for iptables to follow the mark.
 
 - `--fbegin` and `--fend` flags: youtubeUnblock supports multiple sets of strategies for specific filters. You may want to initiate a new set after the default one, like: `--sni-domains=googlevideo.com --faking-strategy=md5sum --fbegin --sni-domains=youtube.com --faking-strategy=tcp_check --fend --fbegin --sni-domains=l.google.com --faking-strategy=pastseq --fend`. Note, that the priority of these sets goes backwards: last is first, default (one that does not start with --fbegin) is last. If you start the new section, the default settings are implemented just like youtubeUnblock without any parameters. Note that the config above is just an example and won't work for you.
