Diversion Diversion - the Router Ad-Blocker

[V@no]

Hello.
I don't have much experience with *nix so have a few questions:

1) I'm using putty on windows and would like create a shortcut of some sort that would launch putty and automatically show F -> 3 logs, is it possible? (suggestions for any other clients are welcome too)

2) Is it some kind of putty limitation, or something else that would stop updating logs on screen after a while (after a few hours)? I have to press CTRL + C and then 1 to resume


Thank you.

Sorry I'm not having much luck here

V35.HZ12.Ki is from 2016, so something is corrupt or otherwise out-of-date in your Entware files.

Anyone getting this message when trying to go into diversion? Trying to do the minor update and I get this.

V35.HZ12.Ki is from 2016, so something is corrupt or otherwise out-of-date in your Entware files.

So ok how do I find out and update it?
It's attempting to upgrade to that by the looks of it.

I had a similar problem initially - all things I tried also didn't work. In the end I uninstalled everything, entware, amtm, swap file etc. I then rebooted router and loaded amtm, formatted the usb I used to store entware etc, then installed everything again. This time no issues and its worked fine since.

 

[calzor suzay]

That was quite extreme but yes removing diversion, amtm, swapfile, formatting drive.
Starting from scratch with amtm and building it back up again seems to have got it all working again.

That is the newest and current, the same one I have with pixelserv-tls - 2.3.0-1

Try this:

opkg install pixelserv-tls --force-reinstall

Then in Diversion ep then "4. Restart pixelserv-tls"

is it normal for the 2.3.0-1 Branch to
have 10 year .crt .key and then 2 year on domain storage.

Hi all.

Just quickly, anyone else having issues with iOS updating on any iGadget since the pixelserv update? My iPad seems to hang and I'm trying to track down the issue. Nothing in any log seems to show a block......

No, not with four iThings here.

As a quick troubleshooting step, you could perhaps try disabling Custom jffs scripts in Administration > System (set to No; I think you might need to reboot the router, too).

And I too haven’t noticed any problem.

Thanks all....

Hello.
Is there a good reason why can't we have remote whitelist along side of custom local list, just like blacklists?

Sorry, it's not what I asked...currently if you add a remote whitelist, unless you have authorization to edit it, there is no way whitelist additional domains because there is no more "local" whitelist available. In fact, when adding a remote whitelist it warns you that local whitelist will be erased.

Once the DropBox feature was added, I haven't looked back. Whitelists don't change extremely often (at least in my experience). For example, you can make a text file in Dropbox, share it with the URL sharing link, paste in a good whitelist set, then maintain your own if additional domains for your network needed to be whitelisted. Great example of one that changes every few months that has virtually eliminated whitelisting for me personally:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/anudeepND/whitelist/master/domains/whitelist.txt

If you're using a whitelist that is changing every 5 minutes, then the author is being overly aggressive. The whitelist I use was updated 3 months ago for example.

I don't have a spare USB drive at the moment and I'm using Skynet. I think it's configured to FAT file system, how can I also use Diversion with Skynet using the same USB drive?

I use this list also. Also, I created a list on github (just copied all anudeepND's list) and I add domains which I need to be whitelisted and just use the re-download and process list in Diversion for changes to take place - This way I use hosted whitelist- anudeepND's list + my own changes

I would suggest adding AMTM by thelonelycoder, and then it will integrate Diversion, Skynet, and more script / tools options. It is the #1 must have with all others in #2 place.

Just install AMTM, it will see and include Skynet, then the menu options will allow installation of anything else you want to use.
