Diversion Diversion - the Router Ad-Blocker

[thelonelycoder]

Is there a minimal size the USB needs to be in order to run diversion properly?

https://diversion.ch/diversion/requirements.html

Do I need to format the USB stick or will the installer do that for me?

No, Diversion does no formatting.

As I have an ext HDD on my USB3 port, do I need to unplug this while installing diversion on the USB that I'll have attached to the USB2 port on the router?

No, you don't have to remove it. Just select the correct USB device to install Entware/Diversion to during the install process.

Will I need to do anything other than simply run the command that posted on the Diversion installation instructions?

Read what is says and select the appropriate action during the install. That's all.

Good afternoon all,

When I get home later I'll be completely formatting my 86U and installing the latest Merlin firmware on it.

My question or questions here are....

Is there a minimal size the USB needs to be in order to run diversion properly?
Do I need to format the USB stick or will the installer do that for me?
As I have an ext HDD on my USB3 port, do I need to unplug this while installing diversion on the USB that I'll have attached to the USB2 port on the router?

Cheers all,

Nathan

I just read in another post of yours that ypu are using Download master. If this is installed through the routers WebUI you will not be able to install Diversion at the same time. Diversion requires Entware and Entware is not compatible with the version that Asus uses to install Download master.

@thelonelycoder Today when updating Diversion pixelserv was off, I did the update but update couldn't restart pixelserv.

Last time it happened I did a full reinstall of amtm, diversion, but now it happens again.
What can I do to start it and prevent to switch off?

I'm running 384.7_2 on RT-AC88U

Thanks!

PS: If my router is using no more than 30% of RAM, do I need a swap file? Size suggested for best performance?

File looks good.
Anything of interest in the syslog when you restart pixelserv-tls in ep?

No, in fact if I go and select restart pixelserv I receive the message "pixelserv-tls restarted" but still off...

The only thing installed is amtm and diversion, but checking router's syslog shows flooded with:

Sep 26 16:44:11 kernel: EXT2-fs (sda1): error: ext2_free_blocks: Freeing blocks not in datazone - block = 4294967295, count = 1

and randomly appears some other block numbers from time to time

at the end of the log I get:

May  5 02:05:05 kernel: pflash: found no supported devices

Diversion doesn't seem to be working. I'm seeing ads on all my devices. I'm using a VPN Client but it's set to "All" and clients are not routed. So there shouldn't be an issue as far as I'm aware.

This looks like a usb drive issue. sda1 is having issues with the kernel.

Looks like your device has errors. Use Google to find what it has to say about those errors. pixelserv might be in a part that is affected by that error.

It used to work before for you. What changed?

I'm not 100% sure but the old Swap File path won't delete. There is no Swap File but the path remains in the router and I cannot seem to delete it.

I get this in the Disk Check

 Fri Nov  2 10:36:51 GMT 2018 Starting 'fatfsck -a /dev/sda1'
 fatfsck 3014.9.11
 Checking boot region...
 Error: Not a FAT volume - Invalid end of sector signature: 0x0
 Floating point exception

The USB drive is in EXT2 format as requested, I did it with Partition Tool on Windows

I'm planning to hard reset and start from scratch. about the USB does it works with FAT or only in ext2?

Yeah, the way it is formatted is not compatible with disk checker.
I use an actual Linux system to format/partition my devices.

Ok, I'll format it back into FAT and reinstall it
