That seems a localization error that is not handled properly or something.
Ask kvic in his support forum, he no longer responds to posts here on SNB.

Use cu to update AB-Solution, then disable and re-enable ad-blocking.
 
Will uninstalling AB-Solution wipe out my Entware?? That seems a bit excessive, I use Entware for a lot of things.
Remove info:
This removes AB-Solution from your router.

These files will be removed, backups will be made
to the /tmp/mnt/lionusb/AB-Solution_uninstall directory:

/jffs/scripts/post-mount
/jffs/scripts/dnsmasq.postconf
/jffs/scripts/services-start
/jffs/scripts/services-stop
/jffs/scripts/wan-start

Note that the Entware directory in
/tmp/mnt/lionusb/entware
will be renamed and will no longer work.

You are about to remove AB-Solution from
your router.
---------------------------------------------------

Continue? [1=Yes e=Exit]
Is there a way to manually uninstall it so I don't lose Entware?

EDIT/UPDATE: It looks like just editing out the stuff added to /jffs/scripts/ should do it? In case you're wondering why I need to uninstall, first, it seems to have caused some weird issue with my ntp server (on another box) and second, in order to support the websites I want to support, I need the ability to allow ads on a per-website basis (Adblock Plus style), so I'd have to allow all of google's ad services if I did it a the router level. :-( I guess I should have figured out the second issue before hand. Anyways, the tool looks cool, just not suited to my needs.

For a standard AB-Solution installation, you can safely remove these files:
/jffs/scripts/dnsmasq.postconf
/jffs/scripts/update-notification (will no longer work if AB is removed)

If pixelserv-tls was installed, also remove:
/jffs/scripts/wan-start
And run:
Code:
opkg remove pixelserv-tls
and this, altough this file ought to be deleted by above command:
Code:
rm /opt/etc/init.d/S80pixelserv-tls
and these:
Code:
rm /opt/etc/absolution.sig
rm /opt/bin/ab-solution


Then edit /jffs/scripts/post-mount to only have these lines left:
Code:
#!/bin/sh

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


Then edit /jffs/scripts/services-start, removing these two lines:
Code:
logger "AB-Solution started rc.unslung via $0"
$RC start $0
(and all the comment lines starting with # if you wan to)

Then restart dnsmasq with:
Code:
service restart_dnsmasq
Then remove the /mnt/<your device>/adblocking/ directory:
Code:
rm -rf /mnt/<your device>/adblocking/
and the AB main file:
Code:
rm /mnt/<your device>/ab-solution.sh

Then, for good measure, reboot the router and hope for the best...

Can there be an option to save router stats to a file and send a weekly email?

Not through the UI.
But you can comment out line 397 in /adblocking/addon/log-stats.add from
Code:
    if [ $4 == "on" ];then
         rm -f $3
    fi
to this:
Code:
    if [ $4 == "on" ];then
    #    rm -f $3
    fi

Be aware that updates may replace the file.
 
Testing installation on RT-AC86U with Merlin 382.1_A3:

Code:
...@AC86U:/tmp/mnt/4GB# sh ab-solution.sh
    _   ___     ___      _      _   _
   /_\ | _ )___/ __| ___| |_  _| |_(_)___ _ _
  / _ \| _ \___\__ \/ _ \ | || |  _| / _ \ ' \
 /_/ \_\___/   |___/\___/_|\_,_|\__|_\___/_||_|

 Welcome
 This is AB-Solution 3.9 [3.9.1]

 looking for an installation
 found AB-Solution on /tmp/mnt/4GB
 checking installation state
ls: /tmp/var/spool/cron/crontabs: No such file or directory
grep: /tmp/var/spool/cron/crontabs/username: No such file or directory
ls: /tmp/var/spool/cron/crontabs: No such file or directory
grep: /tmp/var/spool/cron/crontabs/username: No such file or directory

it seems the installation script fails to create files under /tmp/var/

I had to remove ab-solution to regain internet access...

On testing mode at the moment, so let me know if you like to have some tests done to get ab-solution running on the AC86U!

Thank you

EDIT: Try installation with and without AiProtection.
These are the only Cron Jobs listed:
Code:
/jffs$ cru l
00 2 * * Wed /tmp/mnt/4GB/adblocking/addon/update-hosts.add cronjob #AB_UpdateHosts#
20 5 * * * /tmp/mnt/4GB/adblocking/addon/rotate-logs.add #AB_RotateLogs#

That was created by a simple cru a command which appears to be the same in the 382.xx code.
Apart from that, was the install successfull?

Without a device to test it on myself, I'm not going to change any of the AB-Solution code. It would be guesswork with no end, even if only a small part of the thousands of lines of code need adjustment.
 
I have a stupid question:

It's okay a USB stick (4GB) with these features: read: 5.80mb/s - write: 17.80mb/s

It's enough?

This USB have three partition: AB-Solution - Entware (for Pixelsrv-tls) and Skynet.

Thanks!

More than enough.
 
I was confused: the parameters are inverted:

write: 5.80mb/s - read: 17.80mb/s

Thanks!
I thougt so, it was obvious.
