Diversion Diversion - the Router Ad-Blocker

[jadog]

I use express VPN but currently at work. Will test the Windows VPN client when I get home and let you know. About 6 hours from now

Thanks for the feedback guys. @Makaveli, I'll be curious to know what you find.

Just curious if Diversion do version check of pixelserv-tls for compatibility and update it if required? I see we can update within the ep menu though but was curious if everything is automatic because all this time when a new Diversion update was offered I just clicked u and was thinking it was full auto.

Boss that firmware 380.68 is very old now.

you will run into issues updating some of these software because of it.

The pixelserv-tls package is part of the Entware. That's why there is a ep, 6, 5 option to update Entware packages.
And update your firmware to a newer version while your're at it. You are years behind with 380.68.

I plan to do this today, that wasn't my question though... ;-)

Ok just to be clear I never installed standalone Entware, I'm relying only on Diversion.

Then do the router firmware update first, and then a fresh install of Diversion as there would be issues with your old Entware version.

Diversion by default installs Entware, always has.

And if I update Entware first?

Show me the screenshot with the Entware version and where it's installed from in ep, 6.

You should be good to go. You may have to run ep, 6, 5 twice to be up to date.
I have the same router, it shows the same Entware version with a fresh Diversion install I just did on it.

 

[Rhialto]

Good, let's start the firmware update then, I will first disable Skynet, update Entware like you suggested, then disable Diversion, do the firmware update and restart both DIversion and Skynet after that.

edit: oh and will prolly install uiDivStats now that the firmware version is good for it.

It's probably better to remove the USB device for the firmware update, eject it through the WebUI button. Diversion and everything else will stop properly that way and not start up until you plug the device back in after the firmware update.

Good advice, that was planned but was about to forget to do it, thanks!

This was an issue for me when my USB stick was not ext4 formatted.....anytime a reboot happened, Skynet etc would lock up and would need to start from scratch. Since the reformat (long ago now), any router reboot even without stick ejection goes fine and the scripts pick up automagically.....fwiw.....

 

[dev_null]

This was an issue for me when my USB stick was not ext4 formatted...

I'd add that in my case having more than 1 partition also caused failures with Skynet. EXT4 + single partition = success.

agreed!

Nice, looks pretty good. But does this block ip's with iptables or does it just DNS block with the hosts file? If it's the latter then it seems like alot of trouble to go through instead of a simple script like the one I posted earlier.
