VPP is ok here I think with "main" and "worker".

That one feels a bit clunky to me. I wonder why they didn't go for something 
more natural like

  nouns: blocked/allowed
  verbs: block/allow

The terms blacklist/whitelist can be a nouns or verbs, and I suspect they are 
often not implemented as an actual list data structure, so trying to keep the 
"list" suffix seems an unnecessary carryover (and sounds clunky IMHO). :)

Thanks,
Chris.
