Diversion Diversion - the Router Ad-Blocker

[joe scian]

What browser are you watching youtube videos from. Also are you using any custom dns settings in these browsers which might be diverting you away from using diversion?

chrome and Panasonic TV - not that I know of but I was originally using Unbound as the primary DNS for ALL LAN Clients. But not now since I can switch easily between Unbound and dnsmasq-

chrome

are you doing this on a device that might use a hard-coded dns or just from your home desktop computers?
If you are doing this from a device that has a hard-coded dns, are you telling DNS filter on your router to force traffic with global mode enabled and set to router?

OK, this case I have not covered. But this should work and will reset the Dnsmasq logs. So if you have stats enabled = too bad.
In d select "7. Reset Diversion ads counter or logs" and then reset Dnsmasq log files.
Browse some YT videos and then run b,8,2 again. I'm crossing fingers.

chrome and Panasonic TV - not that I know of but I was originally using Unbound as the primary DNS for ALL LAN Clients. But not now since I can switch easily between Unbound and dnsmasq-

are you doing this on a device that might use a hard-coded dns or just from your home desktop computers?
If you are doing this from a device that has a hard-coded dns, are you telling DNS filter on your router to force traffic with global mode enabled and set to router?

okay then, I have nothing .

Oh, @joe scian can you run that gig command again, replacing the single A with four As (AAAA).

Glad I built these options in.

 

[thelonelycoder]

I have an idea how to do the Recheck without nuking the dnsmasq log files.

 

[Jack Yaz]

The first time I pressed "recheck YouTube ips" i saw a message along the lines of "sed unmatched /" but I couldn't scrollback to see it from my Android SSH client. Subsequent re-runs of the option do not produce the message. Not sure if any harm caused by it!

Yes I think I had same message when the IP address changed to the correct one.

I did same troubleshooting steps and cleared dnsmasq and now it's working! Thanks a lot @thelonelycoder

I'll get a update out soon, maybe that will help others.

I see, have to escape things. Thought that would work. Is the YT IP shown valid?

Hm, there's several shown. They look valid

Does one have to escape the ":"s in IPv6 addresses when using sed?
I do it with the dots now for IPv4, but IPv6?

 

[thelonelycoder]

Hm, there's several shown. They look valid

I see, and why. How can I get dig to only show one. Or I'd have to use awk to only print first result.
I only get one IP returned here, never seen two or more.

 

[thelonelycoder]

Need some figuring out time.

 

[thelonelycoder]

Hm, there's several shown. They look valid

Will that output only one domain?

/opt/bin/dig r4.sn-ntqe6n76.googlevideo.com A +short | awk '{print $1}'

Run it without the pipe to see if actually there are more IPs associated please.
