AB-Solution 1.07 is out!

[thelonelycoder]

I just installed ab-solution and like it was supposed to do it erased my lan dns. I had the lan dns set to opendns and now with the lan dns entries blank, opendns doesn't block malware sites like it use to. Is there something I can do to get opendns back? I still have opendns active on my wan, but if I go to the opendns welcome page, it says that my dns servers are set to opendns, but when I click the test opendns blocking page it says the blocking test failed. Is there any scripts or anything I can do to put opendns dns back into the lan? Thank you for your time, David.

I can't help you with that. I'm sure someone else will have an idea.
What I'm perplexed of is that OpenDNS should need to resolve on the LAN level. If that is true, then OpenDNS is not what it used to be.

Correct! Set the WAN DNS only.

You can look forward to the next release: This is now eliminated in the 1.08-beta3 version.

Nice

I'll try it ASAP

Don't hold your breath, it's not released yet.

What do you mean? Add another hosts file to it?
The next version of AB-Solution will have the option to assemble your own hosts to be used.

will wait for the next version...

Did you download it with your browser?
Check if ab-solution.sh is in Unix EOL.
If you don't know what that means, delete the file on the router and use the curl method.

Yes I used the curl method.

ab-solution.sh

SDB5 is the ext3 drive.

getting this error at the end

This file is clearly and undeniably in Windows EOL.
Run, assuming you are in /home/root and ab-solution.sh is too:

dos2unix ab-solution.sh

Then again

sh ab-solution.sh

Have a nice weekend and enjoy ad-blocking.

That worked thanks. Not sure how could have been in eol mode. I tried both CURL and WGET from command prompt telnet

I'm really sorry for this question right here, but.. I managed to install ab-solution but afterwards I can't run the program via putty. I'm stuck at the verry beginning at tmp/home/root# and I can't go nowhere.. it's my first time with Putty (sry for that)

AB-Solution 2.0 will be out in a very short time (I am writing the post for it at the moment).
Best let it rest and go get a cup of good old coffee. It'll be released by then. Install it and your link problem is solved
In the meantime use this to start it:

sh /tmp/mnt/<your USB device>/ab-solution.sh

@Robi-G My reply is awaiting moderator approval. But Use the newly released v2.0. This version solves this in an elegant way.

Hi it works great now. (1.07) .
I noticed that if I use a custom dns in airprotecion for some devices, the ads do not get blocked. Is there a way to overcome this?

As all your DNS requests get sent to a service out in the "air", there is no way for the router's dnsmasq to interfere.

Cool, understand now. thanks

it seems that when clicking on some results from google search they get blocked. Any suggestions?
