Likewise - also had to reset counters to get block list [yt] counter to change from 0

Now have 5 entries in yt blocklist file ...

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?

View attachment 23348

I have to enable that for my TV (Sony 55w829bbu) and set it's IP address in the DNS filter list otherwise I cannot get the Youtube app to load. For the life of me I couldn't figure out what I needed to put in the whitelist to make it work just for that device so it was easier to just go down the DNS Filter route just to keep the kids happy watching Peppa Pig.

If there is a way to get Diversion to work with it and the Youtube ad block it would be fantastic. Official Peppa Pig cartoon shows are riddled with ads every minute!
 
That should be one of the first steps after installing merlin on a router.
There are so many devices with hard coded DNS.

But it seems to work on all of my devices...I emphasize "it seems ..."
 
It looks like Diversion is clearing the caches when it finds a new host/s. Normal?
Code:
May  9 09:24:00 Diversion: found 1 new YouTube hosts, total is 9 (counter at 8 of 30)
May  9 09:24:00 kernel: echo (30941): drop_caches: 3

Yes, a leftover test.
 
After activating YT adblock yesterday evening it seemed to work, but this morning I'm seeing this message in the system log:
Code:
May  9 09:50:00 Diversion: no YouTube temp file found

Using your grep command shows no log at all?
Code:
/opt/bin/grep -ae "reply.*-.*\.googlevideo.*\..*\..*\..*" /opt/var/log/dnsmasq
/opt/var/log/dnsmasq: No such file or directory

Diversion does show a dnsmasq.log size of 3.4M

Damn, this is awesome. YT ad blocking is working perfectly for me. I can see it learning in the system log, blocking ads. When I play a video it'll play an ad but then after watching the same video again it won't play the ad, that's fantastic. Thank you for this.
 
In the GUI, I'm seeing this. Can I block that website so it does not monopolize the stats?

I have to enable that for my TV (Sony 55w829bbu) and set it's IP address in the DNS filter list otherwise I cannot get the Youtube app to load. For the life of me I couldn't figure out what I needed to put in the whitelist to make it work just for that device so it was easier to just go down the DNS Filter route just to keep the kids happy watching Peppa Pig.

If there is a way to get Diversion to work with it and the Youtube ad block it would be fantastic. Official Peppa Pig cartoon shows are riddled with ads every minute!
Yea I haven't had any problem with it on smart devices and I watched Peppa pig ad free for several hours. I guess it is because this is not really blocking the ads but telling it to respond to a specific address
