    [How-to] Adblock Plus filters right on router

    It has improved, meaning I seem to get errors less frequently. Not perfect, but 'tolerable' for me for now.

    [How-to] Adblock Plus filters right on router

    Thank you for staying with me here, Colin! My S24privoxy now: #!/bin/sh ENABLED=yes PROCS=privoxy ARGS="/opt/etc/privoxy/config" PREARGS="" DESC=$PROCS PATH=/opt/sbin:/opt/bin:/opt/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin ulimit -s 2048 ulimit -n 2048 ...

    [How-to] Adblock Plus filters right on router

    Hi Collin; Thanks for chiming in. I could use a bit more hand holding here, please. * I am not quite clear: are you still suggesting I replace the parameter "ulimit -s 2048" with "ulimit -n 2048"? * How would I do this? (As an aside, I am not sure it is a router memory problem. Usually, if...

    Excellent! ... and no, I will not tell anyone:) Please let me know if you need anyone to test.

    AdBlocking with combined hosts file

    Thanks for taking the time to reply and to explain. PS: I did not expect that the current version would already be able to do this or that it would be a simple tweak to implement all this. I was thinking more of an advanced / next / iteration or even version.

    AdBlocking with combined hosts file

    I have been using the privoxy ad blocking, but keep running into issues. Before that I had tried thelonelycoder's solution. While I did not experience these kind of issues, there were features that I prefer and therefore made me switch: - it uses AdblockPlus EasyList filters. These lists have...

    [How-to] Adblock Plus filters right on router

    Quick update: after disabling the NAT Acceleration, I still get the "maximum number of connections reached" message. It is hard to quantify, but it feels like it does not happen as often anymore - however, it is still rather annoying. What I had not mentioned before is that I frequently get...

    Thanks for the tip. Mine was set to Auto. I have it now disabled. Let's see how things go.

    [How-to] Adblock Plus filters right on router

    No torrent of 'heavy surfing' in my case: I have limited the traffic going through privoxy to my mobile devices only. At any given time, there shouldn't be more than 2 or 3, likely less, accessing the internet at the same time Other than it is the error message my browser display, I have no...

    [How-to] Adblock Plus filters right on router

    After a few short weeks of joy, I now keep getting the"maximum number of connections reached" message quite often again. Ronv42 or anybody else: do you experience the same issue (again)? (PS: In the meantime I have upgraded from AC56 to a AC87.)

    Thanks much, John! (I had not seen above post yet and my google search had not brought it up for some reason.)

    User NVRAM Save/Restore Utility (R26.2)

    I ran twice today into this error message when I migrated my settings from one device to another: "[[: 2678: unknown operand" Here is a full log on my second migration (AC56 as AP => AC66, both on the same Merlin f/w 378.51): nvram-restore: NVRAM User Restore Utility - Version 15...

    Does RMerlin run Trend on his routers?

    Thanks, Merlin, I much prefer and appreciate your stable firmwares over the ASUS stock ones. Wireless seems to be a real winner (robustness) for me with .51, so I'd rather not switch to an experimental build right now, but wait a bit.

    Does RMerlin run Trend on his routers?

    From what I have gathered thus far is that having the Trend Micro DPI engine on one's router is very beneficial and recommended from a security perspective. I also understand that it comes standard in the AC87. However, here is where I am unclear: from this Trend Micro press release the AC56...

    [How-to] Adblock Plus filters right on router

    Great to hear it seems to be working for you also! As you have probably figured already by my posts, I am a bloody noobie when it comes to this 'router stuff', but I like to learn more about. Would you mind explaining your comment above? I changed the S24privoxy file. It seems you are...

    [How-to] Adblock Plus filters right on router

    Ronv42; I updated the file per your instructions and it seems to be working:) I have been burned too often with this 'router stuff', so I am not breaking out the champagne just yet. However, I am carefully optimistic that we have a winner here! (I have only done some brief testing.) Have you...

    [How-to] Adblock Plus filters right on router

    I finally got a change to try it, but w/o success (I am still getting the max connection reached message). However, I was not following your instructions, since my S24privoxy file has already an entry: #!/bin/sh ENABLED=yes PROCS=privoxy ARGS="/opt/etc/privoxy/config" PREARGS="" DESC=$PROCS...

    [How-to] Adblock Plus filters right on router

    Really nothing special: I did a Google search for the error message. I only hope it will fix our problem. Please post your findings when you try on your AC87.
