    pixelserv pixelserv - A Better One-pixel Webserver for Adblock

    You have made the pixelserv-tls binary, what you now need is an adblock script to create a valid ip address for pixelserv to listen on, start pixelserv with appropriate vars, and then to poison the dns entries for the adblock domains in your dns server so that the clients browsers communicate...

    pixelserv pixelserv - A Better One-pixel Webserver for Adblock

    pixelserv-tls generates the certificate if it does no exist of first need. I guess you could write a script to try to access every blocked domain using https, but leaving as is ensures the certificate properly matches the browser request when first generated.

    dhcp dies with firewall-start. Merlin said to do this.

    Enter the commands one at a time using an ssh console session, also check on line endings in your saved script file. Your script will also not work (shouldn't crash though) because you are Adding to the INPUT chain, below any other accepts. Also you are not using the LOG_DROP chain you create...

    AB-Solution - The Ad Blocking Solution

    I didn't realize dd-wrt was still going - what version is it at now? V24 was many years ago, I thought it fragmented with dozens of forks and incomplete svn source-code and toolchains - due to commercial link with Buffalo they had access to Broadcom SDK and used to use a unique kernel version...

    AB-Solution - The Ad Blocking Solution

    pixelserv is a C binary, should run on any Linux device with appropriate linkage to correct libraries. It relies quite heavily on system library calls for sockets etc. That pixelserv-tls is available in Entware makes it applicable on many devices. AB-Solution is a much more complicated set of...

    AB-Solution - The Ad Blocking Solution

    pixelserv listens on ip address and port, but all other serrvices must do this as well to re-use port nos. We used to have an issue with the router web gui listening on all ip addresses and port 80, but I believe this was fixed many revs ago. There is still an issue with AiCloud on port 443...

    AB-Solution - The Ad Blocking Solution

    Bit late to the party, but pixelserv includes code to strip urls and encourage the browser to go straight to the target url, not via the referrer. It was never 100% and probably now needs maintenance, but the option is on by default, counted as "rdr":- pixelserv-tls version: v35.HZ12.Kj...

    Downgraded firmware after power lost

    Not seen this mentioned yet : do clear cache on browser. Same name web pages from same IP address, your browser could be showing old version. F5 or ctrl-F5 usually to force refresh

    Can only open ports when internal/external is different

    You must be adding rules to the INPUT chain using "-A", test first using "iptables -I" which will insert the rules at the top, not the most efficient but should work. I guess Asuswrt (and others) uses an explicit logdrop at the end is for the optional logging function? Surely would be better...

    Can only open ports when internal/external is different

    Web GUI just a config tool for iptables, which configures the kernel netfilter code. I believed inherited from Tomato the rc c-code writes an iptables export text file so all the rules can be loaded with a single iptables command and not dozens of individual script like calls. Unless changing...

    Can only open ports when internal/external is different

    Are you running Asterisk on the router? INPUT table is for connections to services running on the router. Port forwarding requires an entry in nat PREROUTING and FORWARD. Did you add those rules manually? - they seem to be below a drop all! I recommend to use these commands from an ssh...

    [beta] Dual WAN helper script (discontinued)

    Doesn't Asuswrt have a C-code program wanduck to do the wan down up check, won't there be a conflict, or could your investigations fix it?

    Updating RT-N66U to recent release fails.

    You shouldn't be afraid of resetting, you will need to do that at some point - you are attempting to jump several versions, including the sdk 378 to 380, you could try going to 380.59 which I think was the last before the verification update. Do take a look at John's nvram utility which...

    WAN packet overhead - QoS - Virgin Media

    Its definitely not the same overhead as pppoe or ATM frames in DSL connections. There was a significant level of arp traffic when I last investigated. seems crazy they do not have some form of static arp, lots of low level WHO HAS messages from the ISP core devices. I don't currently use QoS...

    WAN packet overhead - QoS - Virgin Media

    Virgin media in UK used to do ADSL connections which would be different, but the current SuperHubs or the Hub 3.0 (which definitely is not super) have a modem mode which is a transparent half-bridge mode using wan type dhcp with full 1500 byte packets. The Hub 3.0 is an Arris device with the...

    pixelserv pixelserv - A Better One-pixel Webserver for Adblock

    That message goes to the log because it was expected to be very rare! It seems pixelserv should be enhanced to handle the "http OPTIONS" request:- https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Methods/OPTIONS What client browser/website tends to trigger it?
