Diversion Diversion - the Router Ad-Blocker

[Val D.]

I am looking into my isp forum, there may be an un-official-ish way to get it into a bridge mode, if so, can i still have the asus upstairs connected by power lines?..i also have a GB switch, could i hang the asus off the isp router and leave the asus downstairs next to it and then use the power lines to put the switch upstairs, i only need the switch for the lan ports

This matter is unrelated with Diversion. Better continue your router setup thread:

Yes of course, was going to continue there with that question. Still can't get diversion services on my laptop connected to the router in its wifi, lost count how many times I imported pixel crt

By any chance are you using FireFox?

Hello.

Is there a way to check if diversion is active through a bash script?
I need to create a Merlin script where I test:

If [diversion is active]
then
xxxxx
fi

thank you.

Diversion isn't a permanent running background service (daemon), but a crude check to see if it is installed

[ -n "$(which diversion)" ] && echo "Diversion Installed"

Diversion Installed

However, you can check if the Diversion Menu is open and maybe catch it performing its (cron) Count_ads housekeeping if you are very lucky!

[ -n "$(pidof diversion)" ] && echo "Diversion Running"

but diversion also runs cron sub-scripts see '/opt/share/diversion/file/'

e.g. So you would check explicitly for these script names etc.

update-bl.div          #Diversion_UpdateBL
rotate-logs.div        #Diversion_RotateLogs

Hi Martineau, thank you very much for your comments. You are very close to answering my question but not already there... Maybe you can help me a bit more?:

On the diversion menu, I can see the following.

d Diversion Standard disabled
or
d Diversion Standard enabled

Now, is there a way to get this status check even if the Diversion menu is not open, via a bash script? Is there any modem configuration, NVRAM parameter or other stuff I can check to see if diversion is currently enabled?

As you pointed out, [ -n "$(which diversion)" ] && echo "Diversion Installed" only checks if the program is installed and [ -n "$(pidof diversion)" ] && echo "Diversion Running" only checks if the the Diversion Menu is open.

Thank you.

seek and ye shall find..

@thelonelycoder is there any way to change auto blocklist update frequency?

 

[Mikii]

Thank you so much Martineau!
this worked, I only had to enter the full path to my diversion.conf file.

"grep -E "^DIVERSION_STATUS" ./tmp/mnt/MicUSBsctipts/entware/share/diversion/.conf/diversion.conf

FYI

For convenience, and to eliminate potential typos in your full-path , Entware mounts its file system on '/opt', so it is compatible across routers without having to know the user chosen mount point '/mnt/xxxxxxxxxxx'

e.g.

grep -E "^DIVERSION_STATUS" /opt/share/diversion/.conf/diversion.conf

if grep -q diversion /etc/dnsmasq.conf; then

Martineau: thanks for the update;
thelonelycoder: I am not sure I can get your method to work.

Pixelserv appears to be broken and I can't figure out how to fix it. A re-install of diversion didn't fix the problem.

I see this error message at the top of the diversion banner :

Dear friends, do yo have knowledge regarding any script/batch file to be run under windows/router to check whitelist/blacklist (not found/up/down/whatever info is available)?
Eventually using a SSL proxy into the script, to be sure results are not affected by settings?

Re: Address 1st-party tracker blocking

This also picked up by SANS NewsBites Vol. 21 Num. 093.
If you follow the link to the uBlock issue it references a 1st Party Tracker Host list that can be imported directly into pihole & Diversion.

https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/780#issuecomment-559340435

Regularly updated list is:
https://hostfiles.frogeye.fr/firstparty-trackers-hosts.txt

This may be of interest to others.

It appears the “frogeye” list mentioned above may be included in the “large” Diversion blocking list - hosts.oisd.nl. ??
If I’m understanding correctly.......

I may not be understanding your question correctly, but I know if you attempt to whitelist a domain, Diversion will tell you whether or not it’s in the blacklist.

I don’t know of a script to automate this.

No, the idea is to check my own whitelist/blacklist to see if some hosts are dead, alive, down or not found at all in order to clean them from useless lines.
I found only for windows but I would like to check from router as well!
Still searching for such script.
basically the script will read a file black/whitelist and write the results in other file, without those hosts that are not to be found.
In the end it could be good for all!
