Hi all, after a short step to Ubiquiti im back at the Asus camp with a AX-86U, first thing i did was install diversion to have adblocking again for my internal devices.
On the Ubiquiti i used pihole.
Now the funny thing is, i started with a AC68U and had diversion, misses complained that her banking application didnt work, didnt really looked into it as she could switch to 4G instead of WiFi.
With the UDM and Pihole i used the exact same blockinglists, (so they should be identical between my Asus setup and the former Ubiquiti setup) and the application worked without problems for her.
Last week when i received the AX86U i hooked it up (with diversion active) and the same day i received the conplaint again her banking application doesnt work anymore.
She can login but then everything stays blank.
I have done some investigation in the dnsmasq log and i can not see domains being blocked that contain the banking URL.
After some investigation in tech sites from my country i noticed more complaints about this, funny thing is.
People with Pihole dont have a problem, but people who have android and use the app 'adaway' for example have the exact same problem.
They also posted a solution what they can do in the adaway application to fix it but im not sure how to implement this in Diversion, hope some one can point me in the right direction.
To resolve the problem for users with adaway the have to go into global settings of that app and in the settings they have to disable the webserver option, after that it works for all of them.
I have pixelserv active, i believe that acts as a webserver and might be the problem.
Not sure if possible, but can i redirect certain domains to not use pixelserv?
I think that might actually resolve the problem.
Edit: disabled Pixelserv and the app works again as she expects.
Enable it and its broken again, so its definetly something in pixelserv that is causing the problem, just not sure what part.
