Hi @thelonelycoder . I'm sorry for the trouble, but i've a question: the best swap size for my RT-AC86U? Now, i've installed Skynet+Ab-Solution with 2GB of Swap.
Thanks so much!

That's a Cloudfare DNS Server IP.Hi again! Question I've noticed Amazon App was not working, so checking the unfiltered log, all connections from this app was under "forwarded xxxxxx.amazon.com to 1.0.0.1" (forwarded to upstream dns).
Yes, I use Cloudfare's DNS at home. You say Cloudfare is kind of blocking Amazon's app?That's a Cloudfare DNS Server IP.
Cloudfare uses 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1, so check your WAN/DNS Server setting.
https://1.1.1.1/
I hit a problem with this method. I found that for devices that were still being filtered through A B Solution, i.e., our mobile phones (via the Router settings), everything was fine, but for the rest of the devices which were by-passing A B Solution via the Global Setting (OpenDNS in our case), the script to enforce Google Safe Search was also being by-passed. It came down to either losing A B Solution or Safe Search, so the former had to go. We’ll just have to put up with advertisements on our mobiles and use uBlock Origin or equivalent on our PCs/Laptops.I'm not sure if I've explained this properly. I didn't make any changes on my PC's DNS settings, but rather, changed the settings for my PC on the router from "Router" to "OpenDNS". I think I have got this figured now anyway. I've reinstalled AB Solution, set the global setting to "OpenDNS" and any devices I want AB Solution to filter to "Router". I can't use it on my PC because it breaks some sites as explained in my other thread (I've checked the log and can't see any reason why that should happen, but it does), so I'm just using it on mobiles at the moment.View attachment 13952 View attachment 13953

Nice, thanks I'll give that a try. Just curious how that stuff works. Are you an *official*collaborator? I see that your post is 4+ months old so just curious if there hasn't been a new release since then and/or if @thelonelycoder actually plans to include this.Re: your feature request ...... already done as suggested new filter per https://www.snbforums.com/threads/ab-solution-the-ad-blocking-solution.37511/page-151#post-401963

Not that I don't trust your work (the patch will be easy to validate), I'm just curious to know how the dev cycle is working and if this is planning to go into an official release or I will need to keep track and integrated it back into future versions.
That would indeed be usefulIt was a suggested new filter that I created as I needed it and thought it might be useful for others.
It is up to thelonelycoder if he wants to include it in the official release.
As he has been busy in 'real life' I have not chased.
I have a 250 MB download speed with cable company. Once enabling AB the download speed goes from about 270MB down to less that a hundred WTH. Anybody having similar issues? Turn off AB and my speeds go back to normal. Does this somehow disable the NAT HW acceleration feature?
Suggest you call your cable company and ask them what the hell is going on..I have a 250 MB download speed with cable company.

WTH? Not possible. AB cannot affect the throughput of your router.I have a 250 MB download speed with cable company. Once enabling AB the download speed goes from about 270MB down to less that a hundred WTH. Anybody having similar issues? Turn off AB and my speeds go back to normal.
No.Does this somehow disable the NAT HW acceleration feature?
I will, but not for now. The next major release of AB-Solution is based on a completely new code base. We will have to take it from there once it's out.Would you consider putting an option like this into the logging?
Once the domain is seen in the logfile, it will show only results from the IP that requested that domain.Also, I have a question about the experimental option (4). How exactly is supposed to work? When I use it entering the domain "appsflyer.com" this is what I see:
The next major release of AB-Solution has wildcard-blacklist support built in. It uses the address entries in dnsmasq.I'm just thinking out loud here, but have you ever considered trying to implement the "server=" and/or "address=" features in dnsmasq instead of (or in addition to) the host file? With its ability to support entire domains and the ability to return NXDOMAIN where required it might be able to provide some additional power to the application. Note I'm not at all aware of what many server/address entries might do performance wise compared to using them in a hosts file, but performance aside I think it is an interesting though exercise.
