    Skynet Skynet - Router Firewall & Security Enhancements

    MarCo, Thank you for responding. I did look at the first post, but I'm unsure about how the start and end IP addresses are entered. For example: /jffs/scripts/firewall ban 1.2.3.4 - 5.6.7.8 or /jffs/scripts/firewall ban 1.2.3.4 5.6.7.8 or something else ?

    Skynet Skynet - Router Firewall & Security Enhancements

    How do you ban a range of IP's ? Do I need a special character in-between the start and end IP or do I just leave a blank space ?

    AdBlocking with combined hosts file

    Update.. Looking over my configuration, I realized that blacklist.txt and whitelist.txt were created as folders and not files. Fixed that and both service-start and update-hosts.sh will run in putty. After 20 or so seconds of the prompt returns with "done", nothing else, that's good right ? I...

    Can you explain this further? I do not have a hosts clean that I'm aware of. I just copied the whole dnsmasq file and did not add anything to it. That's not correct?

    Thanks for that, clears one more thing up for me. Now regarding the scripts in NP++, what is the correct file extension to save as? I see lots of choices like "*", *txt, and a unix script file. I do have EOL set to unix.
