Diversion Diversion - the Router Ad-Blocker

[Mircica]

@Mircica I have upladed a modified update-bl.div file that eliminates the necessity to duplicate the whitelist entries while updating the blocking list.
Since your whitelist is rather large this might now work.
Use command 12 in Diversion to download all addon files, then try again.

As a side note, your large whitelist actually only removes about 50 or so entries in the blocking file. Consider cutting it down to about a fourth of the current size.

I will, thank you again!
Have you any idea why reported space is so different in MC vs df -h?
Do you use Ext3 or Ext2?
Today I am trying Ext3...

Maybe one calculates with a factor of 1000 and the other with 1024. Windows uses factor 1000 I believe.

On my ARM routers I use ext4, on the MIPS routers ext3. But that's just my preference.
This has been discussed ad nauseam in various threads including this very thread and the old AB-Solution ones.

MC installed in Entware, so both should have the same data, don't you think?

df (disk free) is a Linux/Unix native command, it's not part of Entware.

Show us a screen shot of what MC is showing.

Also, what is the output of these commands:

# free

# cat /proc/partitions

And Entware is a Linux/Unix clone..

 

[ColinTaylor]

No it isn't. It's just a software repository.

 

[Asad Ali]

Entware is a package manager, it's not a clone of Linux/Unix but that discussion is irrelevant here.

 

[Mircica]

All requested data

 

[Mircica]

And the last one!
See the space is so different from what shows df -h

Show the output of "fdisk -l"

Note: That's small letter "L" not "I"

 

[Mircica]

With latest firmware memory consumed is NORMAL!
That's great news!
Huge difference from what was with my firmware I might say!

 

[Mircica]

OK
with fdisk -l I have obtained this:

As per this you have two 4Gigs partitions mounted right now. So all looks good here, it is quite possible that df -h command in your firmware is buggy and not detecting correct size.

You can even confirm it by using WinSCP or equivalent and copying a 1Gb+ file on any of the drive partitions.

That was my only conclusion as well. Now that he's updated his firmware to something that's not so prehistoric it might be better behaved.

 

[Mircica]

I told you, from the very beginning that this is my "new" setup! Still testing it, right now to see how it looks like! And how it works, of course! To be sure 2GB SWAP... to be sure no more memory errors!

Joined because I had the dnsmasq -- 50%+ usage issue as well.
I moved to Medium+ earlier today.
I also upgraded to faster internet on my S8200 cable modem (Coincidence I think)
DNSMASQ would chill out if I unplugged my WAN.
I'm on a RT-AC68AU with newest Merlin.
I updated to 4.16 diversion a few days ago.
My MNT Is WD 3TB portable ext3 formatted, holds 2GB swap in the USB3 slot. Nothing in USB2.
Have AMTM installed as well.

I turned off Diversion - DNSMASQ --log-async issue went away, connection okay again.
Turned Diversion back on - set back to small + updated, everything seems good again!

I really appreciate everything you do here. Hope this helps.

If newest means 384.14 Beta 1, the next Beta will revert dnsmasq to an earlier version that is more stable.

If you’re on 384.13, never mind.

I'm on 384.13.

I had it and factory wiped, installed amtm, diversion, d3, and I believe I have everything set back (did not do a config restore)

HTOP is at 60MB used and it used to be around 190MB used all the time.

I'm getting the upgraded speedtests now as well (170MB before wipe, 800 after)
