Diversion Diversion 5.4.1 - the Router Ad-Blocker, December 15, 2024

[Kingp1n]

Factory reset, basic setup, add a swapfile, install Diversion and test.

Yes...I would also recommend you run the default list when testing. Don't even add anything to the denylist at this time. You should see ads being block automatically. Once everything is running you may try the large list. I wouldn't even mess with denylist...if anything you might have to start messing with the allowlist

I have not released an update for months. I checked, no compromised files are on my server. Just update to get rid of that possible glitch.

Weird, cos I’ve def run “update” many times since the last update of diversion. And this hasn’t showed any of those times. Anyway, thanks for letting me know how to handle it, @thelonelycoder. Appreciate you, as always!

Anyway I went to install it now, so I ran the “update” command again, only this time the message didn’t show up— lol. Oh well no news is good news, too!

Diversion 5.4 is now available

What's new

• The Diversion menu d, 1 now has options to temporarily disable its services for a set time. A cron job will auto-re-enable the services or a reboot of the router would do the same.
• Adds the following Entware mirrors to the shared Diversion whitelist: mirrors.bfsu.edu.cn, mirrors.cernet.edu.cn, mirrors.cqupt.edu.cn, mirrors.nju.edu.cn. These were added to amtm in a previous release.
• The follow the Dnsmasq log file f option now allows to customize the log file colors. Thanks to @zitev for the suggestion.

Getting fancy I see!

It‘s been on the todo list for much too long
I believe Skynet used to or still has that option.

You got my support! Just as AMTM is that Swiss army knife of Asuswrt-Merlin, Diversion is the popular ad-blocker of Asuswrt-Merlin. Your scripts are bridge for all other scripts because you bring all the scripts together . I wish we could make a Team @thelonelycoder, but then you'd no longer be `thelonelycoder`. We salute you! cheers.

Thank you
But then, without all other fellow coders like you, there would be no need for a utility like amtm. I just happen to be the one that got the hint by @Raphie to cobble something together. The rest is history as they say.

I never knew the origin of amtm!

Since doing the upgrade and rebooting, I do not see diversion running in amtm. If I use 1 it's complaing about no entware. But entware is installed.

Might have to rebuilt again.

Obviously not recognized as a correct or complete installation. Could be an issue with USB drive...

That or something is broken in the script that mounts entware. I am more likely to believe the USB drive is not properly mounting. Could be breaking down, or just needs a repair cleaning.

Great, I see exactly what I want, I am grateful and thank you very much for your work!

 

[Wishmaster1965]

I will rebuild my router tomorrow.

Not sure if someone mentioned it, but when using f then 2 to get highlighted dnsmasq log, colors are missing. But when you do the first color setting - it can be used the same color as before, then after this the log is colored.

I am having the exact same issue when using f then option 2. I first have to select option 1 "Follow Unfiltered log", ctrl+c, then select "2. Select other follow option > 2. Follow Unfiltered log extra highlighted", and now colors are back again
