    Diversion Diversion - the Router Ad-Blocker

    I've tailed the log; no domains popup when that error appears. My last test is to have a blank blocklist and see if it happens. That'll kind of narrow it down absolutely. I ran privoxy at home for about 1 month to test it out. Realizing that it was only http requests, I figured it would be...

    Thank you @thelonelycoder!

    Diversion Diversion - the Router Ad-Blocker

    I brought that up here. While the fakenews filter likely blocks a lot of malicious domains as well, they belong in a malicious blocklist. "fakenews" is arbitrary: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/recommendation-to-change-default-diversion-blocklists.57741/

    Diversion Diversion - the Router Ad-Blocker

    Not sure; haven't packet sniffed other than the DNS records, which is going over port 853 in my case. Will keep an eye out for any updates to pixelserv-tls, but I'm not hopeful; sounds like this issue has been going on for years. Dumping to 0.0.0.0 it is for me!

    Diversion Diversion - the Router Ad-Blocker

    I hear ya. What's interesting to me is if you just turn it off and all the domains are dumped to 0.0.0.0, it works sans issue. Meaning that it's not a white-listing of particular domains issue, but more likely a logic issue of how the pixelserv-tls solution handles the requests. I mean perhaps...

    Diversion Diversion - the Router Ad-Blocker

    So, no known solution at this time short of bailing from WiFi when using the Android Amazon App? Are there other apps and/or domains that won't work with pixelserv-tls installed?

    Do you think this would help? https://github.com/kvic-z/pixelserv-tls/wiki/Create-and-Import-the-CA-Certificate#import-pixelserv-ca-on-client-devices

    Diversion Diversion - the Router Ad-Blocker

    Any luck reproducing this issue with the Amazon Shopping app on Android? Appears to be 100% reproducible on my end so I am still keeping pixelserv-tls disabled.

    Recommendation to change default Diversion blocklists

    Yep, agreed. That's why I listed my suggested 'out of the box' experience above. I've never white/blacklisted anything using those lists, but I do use a hosted whitelist.

    Recommendation to change default Diversion blocklists

    I'm not going to call out any names of websites, but there are at least two non-Polish websites that are not spam-related that were blocked. I'm sure there are more; my suggestion was simply to remove those alternative flags.

    Recommendation to change default Diversion blocklists

    Heh, glad to inadvertently help. I mean, there is more you can block if you take a look at his repo: https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts Was just voicing my subjectivity feedback; ads/trackers/malware/etc are one thing. But blocking material that is subjective is another.

    Diversion Diversion - the Router Ad-Blocker

    Gotcha. So for one, it's definitely less ugly than the gigantic grey squares on mobile devices. Basically replaces that content to make things look better. I'd imagine that can actually speed things up to a degree, too? That being said, are all clients forced to the pixelserv-tls server...

    Recommendation to change default Diversion blocklists

    I noticed that the default blocklist is StevenBlack's, which is great. But I suggest removing the "fakenews" variant. "fakenews" is a very political, biased category of domains to block, and no one will ever agree on which domains should and shouldn't be blocked. I noticed some websites on...

    Diversion Diversion - the Router Ad-Blocker

    Sure, open the Android Shopping app. Then click on any item (doesn't matter which). Scroll down quickly toward the bottom of the page to read reviews. Eventually the 'oops' message appears (at some point while scrolling down). Using a Nokia 7.1 and a Moto Z3 Play, both running Android Pie.

    Diversion Diversion - the Router Ad-Blocker

    Yeah, I may just end up leaving it disabled. Diversion Lite will sinkhole any domain on the blocklist, which is exactly what Pi-hole or AdGuard Home are doing, or any other DNS sinkhole. I'm honestly not sure what pixelserv-tls's benefits are, especially when legit services do not work when...

    Diversion Diversion - the Router Ad-Blocker

    With all those domains white-listed, it seems to work better (meaning that it takes LONGER for the "oops, there's something wrong in our side" message to occur), but it eventually still happens. Any chance that Amazon thinks it is a MITM type of situation and bails out (meaning it's the SSL cert...

    Diversion Diversion - the Router Ad-Blocker

    I use the following hosted whitelist: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/anudeepND/whitelist/master/domains/whitelist.txt Do note that Amazon works perfectly fine right now using Diversion Lite. If I enable pixelserv-tls, it will break.

    Diversion Diversion - the Router Ad-Blocker

    I am using Diversion Lite because when I use the Diversion Standard installation, some commercial websites do not work (example is Amazon Shopping app on Android). I've searched the forums and haven't found any clear answers on if this is resolvable; I would definitely like to give pixelserv-tls...
