Dnsmasq just skips over those domains. Nothing to worry about.
Interesting would be who answers a ping to one of the blocked or blacklisted domains and with what IP. Do it from a connected client. I bet it's not the pixelserv-tls IP.

Is it possible to use host files from pi-hole?
I understand they're not the same format, as they're missing the IP in front, but would diversion import and convert?
very tempted to use https://dbl.oisd.nl/

Diversion won't do it, but you can convert them yourself and host them online for Diversion to use them after they're converted for its use. :)

You'd be better off reporting this to the maintainers of whichever hostlist you're using. It's kinda surprising how some lists don't do basic validation of domains.

On the off chance thelonelycoder feels like validating them in diversion, I think this regex should match all valid domains (and a small number of invalid ones where labels start or end with a hyphen). Technically 1 character TLDs are valid, but there are none in use atm (http://data.iana.org/TLD/tlds-alpha-by-domain.txt).
Code: 
FQDN_REGEX="^([a-zA-Z0-9_\-]{1,63}\.)+((xn--[a-z0-9]+)|([a-zA-Z]{2,}))$"

# Example usage
is_domain() {
    if [ $# -gt 0 ]; then
        [ "${#1}" -ge 1 ] && [ "${#1}" -le 254 ] && printf "%s\n" "$1" | grep -qE "$FQDN_REGEX"
    else
        grep -E "^.{1,254}$" | grep -qE "$FQDN_REGEX"
    fi
}

Diversion uses hosts files which have the format of '<blocking IP> <domain>', there are hundreds of well curated lists out there.
Domain blocking lists (dbl) only use domains and have their specific use. For reasons Diversion does not support dbl's.
This will not change.

I'm going with a simpler version. Since the built in Dnsmasq only accepts ascii domain names, GNU grep's pearl regex
Code: 
/opt/bin/grep -P '^[[:ascii:]]+$'
will do.
 
Webgui "Eject USB" broken @thelonelycoder

Just completed a Factory Reset and clean install on AC5300 following M&M guide from @L&LD followed by his guide on amtm install etc.

Tested Webgui "Eject USB" at each stage along the way.
Successful eject after each step along the way:
  • after firmware install b4 anything added; clean eject
  • after install of amtm on its own; clean eject
  • after fd from amtm on USB formatted NTSC b4 using amtm to format ext4 with journaling;
  • rebooted - waited ... etc
  • after creation of swap file using amtm; clean eject
  • after installing dc script; clean eject
  • Webgui Reboot and checked USB dc report clean;
  • used amtm to install Entware; clean eject;
  • reinserted USB and mounted without issues - Entware available;
  • Webgui Reboot ... and waited 15 minutes;
  • Installed Diversion Standard with pixelserv;
  • Waited 15 minutes; Router at idle; Webgui Eject FAILED ?
  • Webgui Reboot with USB plugged in / dcl showed journal repaired

I have now compared all scripts from my backups in /jffs/scripts folder - between 384.10_2 and 384.11_2 firmware versions - and find zero differences.

I can only assume the problem with getting a clean eject of the USB resides somewhere in the Diversion 4.1.0 code?
Something is hanging on to the USB drive and keeping it busy so the unmount fails.

If I uninstall Diversion 4.1.0 using option in the Diversion Menu to do so ... I am once again able to use Webgui Eject USB and get a clean eject.
Code: 
May 21 14:21:22 syslog: USB partition unmounted from /tmp/mnt/usb2

Help needed from @thelonelycoder ... [problem cropped up before - see here https://www.snbforums.com/threads/webgui-eject-usb-disk-fails.54230/ and was resolved back then]

Noticed another change from earlier versions of Diversion! With ver 4.1.0 if you uninstall you are not prompted to keep config files etc - but the entire Diversion System is blown away ... so you have to start from scratch all over again? Go from Standard to Plus > reconfigure all whitelist / blacklist etc.
That's a pity - would save a lot of time if option was given to retain old settings.

I understand they're not the same format, as they're missing the IP in front, but would diversion import and convert?

I have an old Pogoplug Pro that runs Debian and Pi-hole. Pi-hole is using the default Blocklists:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/hosts
https://mirror1.malwaredomains.com/files/justdomains
http://sysctl.org/cameleon/hosts
https://zeustracker.abuse.ch/blocklist.php?download=domainblocklist
https://s3.amazonaws.com/lists.disconnect.me/simple_tracking.txt
https://s3.amazonaws.com/lists.disconnect.me/simple_ad.txt
https://hosts-file.net/ad_servers.txt

I like the way things run when using the Pi-hole but wanted to use the lists with Diversion. I am able to use the following 5 lists with Diversion (note the slightly different url with zeustracker):

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/hosts
http://sysctl.org/cameleon/hosts
https://hosts-file.net/ad_servers.txt
https://zeustracker.abuse.ch/blocklist.php?download=hostfile https://mirror1.malwaredomains.com/files/domains.hosts

But not these 2 lists due to the way they are formatted (I've been unable to find them in the correct format for Diversion):

https://s3.amazonaws.com/lists.disconnect.me/simple_tracking.txt
https://s3.amazonaws.com/lists.disconnect.me/simple_ad.txt

These 5 lists get Diversion to 112,816 blocked domains, slightly less than the 7 Pi-hole lists which block 113,156 domains when including the 2 extra files.

Noticed another change from earlier versions of Diversion! With ver 4.1.0 if you uninstall you are not prompted to keep config files etc - but the entire Diversion System is blown away ... so you have to start from scratch all over again? Go from Standard to Plus > reconfigure all whitelist / blacklist etc.
That's a pity - would save a lot of time if option was given to retain old settings.

Here is the link to previous thread on Webgui Eject USB where the problem was resolved in Diversion 4.0.7 which I beta tested for you back then - and it worked ..

I have identified the problem and will push an update as soon as extensive testing is finished.

I don't know where you found that option to keep settings for Diversion. It was never there. Not in Diversion 4.0.0 (the first Diversion release), not in 4.0.9 and certainly not in 4.1.0.

I believe what you mean is if you wipe the /jffs/ partition and (re)install Diversion by running the install URL. Then you are given the option to RESTORE Diversion since it found an entware folder on (one of) the plugged in USB devices with Diversion files within.
 
I've pushed a Diversion update, no version change

What's changed
- Code improvements
- Removes non-ASCII domain names in blocking list when updating
- Correctly unmounts Entware and Diversion when ejecting containing USB device through WebUI
- Adjustments for swap file check

How to update
Use u to update.

Awesome, it worked! Thank you!

I'm supposed to use the link with "dl" in it, right (pastebin.com/dl/<ID>)?

Now I just have to check if the whitelisted domains solved the issue on my Xbox.
Click to expand...

Update: achievements started popping up again after processing the hosted whitelist in Diversion, but the two that were technically achieved before remain locked.

I also started receiving a "local cache is full" message, which Pi-hole users apparently are familiar with (which should've been solved by whitelisting).

So, something is definitely still up, and I'm not sure as to what. I've tried power cycling the console; removing the profile associated with the console, then adding it back; playing more of the game (the two locked achievements were the only ones left). I'd also already forwarded the required ports in my router before even installing Diversion and Skynet. NAT type on my Xbox One X is "open" and there are no other connectivity issues.

@thelonelycoder, my two previous questions remain, if you don't mind answering them:
  1. Now that I'm using a hosted whitelist, if I want to add additional domains, I have to edit the hosted file and add the domains to it? No way to manually add individual domains though Diversion alone, like before?
  2. Auto-add www/non-www domain is currently set to "off". Should I turn it on?
Also, have you seen this?

@thelonelycoder
Is it possible to use host files from pi-hole?
I understand they're not the same format, as they're missing the IP in front, but would diversion import and convert?

This should work as a hosted blacklist in Diversion, no?
 
I'm not sure I'd want a filterlist which uses a spam email host filter as a source. Completely different applications.

No doubt you are correct on both counts - I simply remember "once upon a Tuesday ..." when reinstalling Diversion I was greatly relieved to be advised on install that a prior install had been found and [as I recall] I could install by "resurrecting" my prior install :).

So - perhaps a feature add? When uninstalling - provide option to retain configs / whitelists etc [effectively disabling Diversion] - then on reinstall give option [if prior install found] to start with "clean install" [in which case all prior configs etc wiped] or "reinstall to existing" [and thereby retaining prior configs etc]?

The reason I make the suggestion is that when testing the "Webgui Eject" problem I started by disabling Diversion [under Diversion menu] - but found that the Webgui Eject still failed. Which is why I went on to uninstall Diversion ... [Webgui Eject worked] ... [filed my earlier post above] ... then had the schlep of reinstalling Diversion from scratch, applying my custom whitelist etc.

Your minor update has fully fixed the Webgui Eject issue - so entirely your call on whether to add the feature I am suggesting ;).
BTW - really enjoy the fact that after ejecting USB - then plugging it back in again ... it automatically fires up Diversion etc etc [Thumbs-Up +1]
