AB-Solution 1.07 is out!

[cybrnook]

As long as you are setting your DNS servers in the WAN page, you are fine. It's if you are trying to use DNS servers on the LAN where it is not compatible.

I use googles (ipv4 and ipv6) and PIA's DNS servers without issue.

Cool thanks for the quick response. I like having opendns since it blocks most of the stuff, and it keeps stats of where my kids r going, so I can monitor that.

Does this work with DNSCrypt installed?
i tried AB-Solution together with DNSCrypt on an earlier version - it worked fine together untill i rebooted the router - then no internet access (DNS).
is it safe to install? should i take any precautions?

I have not tried it with DNSCrypt. Let us know how it goes.

Did you have to change any settings to make it work with AB-Solution or did it work right away?

Here i go then - if i don't report back, you will know why

 

[Skoven]

same result as before... no DNS resolving after i installed AB-solution (after a reboot - it works fine before i reboot).

Edit: I am beginning to think that there is something totally wrong with my setup - nothing seems to work after the reboot.
I will try again when i get my new HDD for the router.

Are you using this tutorial?

Yes.
It seems that the reboot triggered some kind of reset - nothing works (DDNS, transmission, DNSCrypt etc.)

We're going shopping now, but I'll get back to you as soon as we're done and I have tested it on one of my routers.

OK, very simple: AB-Solution replaces /jffs/scripts/post-mount. Cheeky huh? But installing Entware would do the same to AB-Solution!
Anyway, AB-Solution saves a dated copy of it to /adblocking/backup/ and even says so twice in the install log:

Backing up /jffs/scripts/post-mount
to /tmp/mnt/<your device>/adblocking/backup/post-mount_2016-05-07_15

then again:

Existing /jffs/scripts/post-mount was replaced.
A Backup of the file is located at /tmp/mnt/<your device>/adblocking/backup

Copy the content of the backup post-mount and paste it just above the # generated by AB-Solution block. Make sure that the shebang (#!/bin/sh) stays at the top of the file and the line ending (EOL) is still in Unix format.
The content will be this, where <your device> is your USB-Device:

if [ "$1" = "/tmp/mnt/<your device>" ] ; then
  ln -nsf $1/entware /tmp/opt
fi

Reboot and you're good to go.

Thank you! Not really that tech-savvy when it comes to linux, so didn't really gave the install log any thought.
I will make sure to follow the instructions, next time i install AB-solution.

And thank you for a cool piece of software btw

@Skoven: well, RTFM (and install log). No offence! Glad it works for you.

Instead of making a backup, why not just rename it and then call it (if it exists) from your replacement post-mount?

@thelonelycoder; I found a problem....when we install ab-solution we lost script in post-mount for entware....so and this is problem because entware not starting and then dnscrypt and others script not starting....

The problem is what's in it? Short of doing elaborate checks with grep (which is limited, missing one switch which would make it easier) I could run into several entries with the same content in post-mount and dnsmasq.postconf.
That is most likely the case if you upgrade or reinstall my script.
It's also laziness, as the work around involves a lot of checks in the script. I already do a lot of them but I have decided at one time to go the simpler way.
