But adaway.org/hosts.txt not. I set bittorrent.com on my blacklist and it doesn't work. Btw I had freshtmato on the router before and I could block everything. Why not Diversion here?

Yeah, IP to IP blocking does not work in Diversion. Use Skynet for such tasks.
Diversion ONLY works with an IP-host pair and there's no way around it. Dnsmasq does not do that.

See https://diversion.ch/diversion/use/blocking-file-hosts-files.html
Again, the IP part MUST be either 0.0.0.0 or 172.0.0.1:

0.0.0.0 domain.com
127.0.0.1 otherdomain.com

strangely enough the adaway hosts list doesn't work for me

see for yourself: adaway.org/hosts.txt

Works perfect, just make sure you add the https domain: https://adaway.org/hosts.txt

Ok, how do you explain this to me? I use this blocklist too (https://hosts-file.net/ad_servers.txt) and I can ping these page http://www.ngbn.net/ . Why isn't this page blocked? This page is included in the blocklist

You do see the difference in formatting between the list you show quoted above and the list that thelonelycoder shows in his reply, which you have quoted?

This formatting is crucial.

Make sure the spaces are correct and that there is only the 127.0.0.1, a single space, and then the name of the domain you want to be blocked.

Pinging isn't a good test - Diversion causes dnsmasq to resolve the blocked domain to another IP (127.0.0.1 for example will mean the client pings itself)

What does nslookup for the domain show?

Of course you can ping it. The response comes from your router. How else should router adblocking work LAN wide?

Help me out on upgrading to Diversion standard....

Current
LAN - DHCP Server:
IP Pool Starting Address 192.168.1.2
IP Pool Ending Address 192.168.1.254
Enable Manual Assignment Yes (I've about 20 manually assigned IP within 192.168.1.201 to 192.168.1.235)

Now when trying to upgrade from Lite to standard, its asking to change IP Pool Starting Address to 192.168.1.3

After
LAN - DHCP Server:
IP Pool Starting Address 192.168.1.3
IP Pool Ending Address 192.168.1.254
Enable Manual Assignment Yes (I've about 20 manually assigned IP within 192.168.1.201 to 192.168.1.235)

but when I enter 192.168.1.3 for pixelserv, it kept telling me 192.168.1.3 not an assigned reserved IP? what did I do wrong?

Set pixelserv IP to 192.168.1.2 since .3 is in DHCP pool.

You've not completely read the instructions then . The reserved pixelserv-tls IP would be 192.168.1.2 in your case.

Meanwhile it works, thank you for your support! But since the installation my bandwith decreased from 904mbps to 400mbps. Can anyone help me to fix this?

Thanks visortgw & thelonelycoder, got it working now!

My current LAN- DHCP Server: - settings correct?

P/s I tried to post my Sys log and I got BLOCKED?

They are. You should see some Diversion, Entware and pixelserv-tls messages in the syslog when the router starts up or you change settings.

That has to be 'house made'. Installing Diversion does not change your bandwidth at all nor does it change any relevant settings that would impact throughput of your router.

 

[j1mb0]

do you have any idea why? Because i've only installed diversion and after the installation, my bandwidth decreased. I did a speedtest before and after the installation.

Ben_, you are so very close.

You need to change your LAN-DHCP Server settings to:

IP Pool Starting Address 192.168.1.3
IP Pool Ending Address 192.168.1.200

Then pixelserv-tls will have 'room' for itself at 192.168.1.2 and your manually assigned IP's from x.x.x.201 to x.x.x.235 won't be able to conflict either with the DHCP assigned range too. ​
