Without pixelserv, it's:
sh ./ab-solution.sh
With pixelserv it's just:
ab-solution

Does it block youtube video ads? For some reason, some devices on my network are getting ads blocked and some are not. Any ideas?
Are they the same ads on the same webpage? As to YouTube ads - thelonelycoder mentions them here:
https://www.snbforums.com/threads/a...cking-solution-v3-11.37511/page-2#post-308658
Do you have DNS filtering enabled - are those devices that are seeing ads getting their DNS queries resolved somewhere other than your router?

It seems one of the site hosting hosts file is down. Got the following after Ab-Solution tried to update the blocking file:
I am using shooter40sw+. The manual update gets error while updating file 6:
Code:

file, using local backup file instead.

AB 3.11.1 has the malwaredomainlist.com host set back to the HTTP protocol. Run b and re-select your blocking file, it will then write the non-HTTPS URL.
Check first with c, it shows the config file, the hosts_list is near the top. Then run b and check again with c.
I apologize if this is the wrong forum. I am looking to block torrents and I do realize that this most excellent software is about AD blocking.
Does AB-Solution have torrent blocking capability out of the box? Or, would someone suggest a solution to block torrents? I assume I could manually update the blacklist with a list of torrent trackers but would like an easier solution.

No luck. Even after updating blocking file using b, the files stay https.

Do you use a custom list?
If not, change to another type, then back. Only the malware domain was changed back to HTTP, most others still use HTTPS.

AB blocks domains, and outbound only. If that is what you want then AB will work for you.
I'm sure there are readily available comaptible lists to use out there. You could include such a list in the custom blocking file.

No I don't use any custom list.
Anyway I went to Medium+ and reverted back to shooter40sw+ list. Then just to be sure, I choose AdsBeGone+ list and reverted back to shooter40sw+ list. For both cases, the url for malwaredomainlist.com remained same with https but this time was successful.

I believe I silently updated it, but announced it in this thread somewhere.
Run 1233 to re-download all AB-Solution files to be on the latest version(s).

I run one of my 2 OpenVPN servers on TCP port 443. So I disable pixelserv if I want to be able to connect to that server.
I presume it comes down to that choice: the Ovpn server on port 443 or pixelserv if I want them both running on the same device (the router)? And if I keep pixelserv permanently disabled, what would that stop from happening, other than the blank space instantly displaying? (I get the feeling there’s much more to pixelserv than I’ve so far grasped.)

You may be able enumerate some of the torrent sites and block the HTTP/HTTPS and tracker traffic, but you won't be able to block actual BitTorrent traffic using the AB mechanisms. It's challenging for full blown DPI systems too unless you implement massively draconian port blocking (drag-net style.)

As long as they use domains exclusively, yes blocking outgoing requests will work. Just as with any domain hijacking/DNS poisoning.
I believe it is good for us that consumer router capabilities are limited. Imagine if common routers were able to do even a minimal DPI on the traffic seen. This would open up endless possibilities for hackers.
