AB-Solution - The Ad Blocking Solution

[Nrg91]

Manually assign an IP for your pc on the router (in DNS Server settings), not on the pc.

Ok, I had already done, thanks

p.s.
However I noticed that especially the advertising Amazon, are not detected

You can do something ??

You may need to reboot router and clients in order to clear DNS cache.

I rebooted the router and PC, but nothing has changed

Der grosse Kanton ist schlecht vertreten bei den AB Benutzern. Freut mich zu hören dass die neueste Version gut ankommt.
Danke.

The PC has to know where to send its DNS lookups...... if you leave the DNS field blank that is the same as saying "i want to use the DNS server at the same IP address i am connected to" ... so you dont have to know what IP address your network has assigned to you..... If you put the fixed IP of the PC in the DNS field then you are saying "look for a DNS server at myself".... unless you have a DNS server running on your PC the lookup isn't going to find anything.

I don't mean to confuse things further here, but if we are in Windows, "leaving the DNS field blank" is a further confusion. In the adapter settings, you have two choices. One is "obtain DNS address automatically", and the other is a DNS manual setting. In almost all cases, we want the first setting. We don't want anyone selecting the second, ever, much less selecting it and leaving the field blank. [There are edge cases with amahi and windows server. But folks using those will have a better understanding of all this.]

Recently started using this and it works very very well. Looking forward to trying out the update!

Enable the "Advertise router's IP in addition to user-specified DNS" setting on the LAN DHCP settings page. This provides the router IP address to clients set to obtain DNS address automatically via DHCP.

Turning off safe money seems to fix the problem.

Edit: nvm still have the same issue

Hey!... confusing things further is my job
I must admit i haven't played around with network settings in a Windows machine in a long time, but yes "automagic" selection of DNS is what we are after. I just remembered the DNS field was blank for that case, and the auto/manual selection bit never entered my head (brain like a sieve). I wouldn't suggest anyone to deliberately select manual and then leave it blank.
Apologies to anyone who thought thats what i meant....

For those guys and gals having problems with Kaspersky while using AB-solution with Pixelserv-tls enabled, you can disable the encrypted connections scan
http://support.kaspersky.com/us/general/products/12489#block1
Pixelserv-tls is generating its own certificates for https websites and Kaspersky its simply complaining that it can't verify the origin back to a certified source.
This site ( although its a bit of a sales pitch too) explains quite nicely if you are interested

This is the release thread for your mentioned update, by the way.

no, this is not good solution...I am using online banking every day and encrypted connection must be enabled....maybe I should import pixelsrv.crt to windows?

 

[tomsk]

no, this is not good solution...I am using online banking every day and encrypted connection must be enabled....

Who said its not enabled?... this is simply Kaspersky's additional verification of the source. It will only affect the sites that are being directed to pixelserv, so you like the extra security of the popup then you will have to live with it for the time being. Otherwise turn pixelserv off.

 

[bayern1975]

yes, turning pixelserv off all back to normal......

Does anyone seen a significant increase in RAM usage moving from 3.0 to 3.6.5? I see 30-45MB RAM usage increase, but I recently changed several settings as well.

All install and update info, as well as other useful information is on the AB-Solution website.
www.ab-solution.info

Nice website you have there.

Nice website you have there.

AB iself does not use any ram when not using the script (the UI).
And if so, ab-solution.sh only uses a few k's of it.
It's the blocking file (blocking_file) loaded into dnsmasq that uses RAM.
The larger blocking file you use, the more RAM it takes up.

In one of the conversations that we had during development of the AdsbeGone! blocklist, @thelonelycoder mentioned that some of the hosts lists maintainers were very active , and that the hosts lists themselves had grown significantly since he started the AB project. This of course is going to mean you will see RAM usage creep up as the amalgamated block lists grow larger as a result.... that said, i can't see a jump of 30Mb being attributable to AB alone.
