Diversion Diversion - the Router Ad-Blocker

By the way, the more I use Diversion the more amazed I am at how good it is. Watching it working in real time blocking ads (f in menu) is really great.

Lets just say Diversion is the quintessence of years of coding experience, user input and suggestions and my will to make it as user friendly and nice as possible.

AB-Solution was and is a different beast and evolved from many bad decicions and code habits to what it is. Many of the functions that Diversion now offers evolved in intensive beta discussions during the AB-Solution road-beautification and feature creep sessions.
I am proud of Diversion and its much improved code-base. And I like to think that with AB-Solution, amtm and now Diversion I have revolutionized the way users can interact and do complex things in a unforgiving environment (think what could go wrong with ssh terminal commands). The UI based interaction has influenced many other coders around here to do it in a similar way. That is awsome all by itself.

I can tell you one thing for sure, I'm very envious of the experience in coding you have. Diversion certainly does make quite complex tasks easily manageable with the UI.

Run this script to see if you have a conflict setting in the OpenVPN Client that will prevent Diversion from working over the OpenVPN tunnel.

I'm still yet to fix the issue I ran into when adding this script. I'm just wondering, how do I go about installing openssh-sftp-server from entware? As you've indicated in another post, using clients like WinSCP (I understand you use a different client) would be better to use when adding scripts like this.

No need to add sftp support when scp is perfectly working well in the Windows environment with WinSCP.
But if you must: opkg install openssh-sftp-server

hi
im having the following issue with this especific domain: tenforums.com

by default, its under a blocking file, therefore i wont be able to access the website

Code:

 Blocking file options:
 5. Find domain in hosts file(s)

 Enter selection [1-5 e=Exit] 5

  i  This finds in which hosts file(s)
     a domain is blocked.

 Enter domain  [e=Exit] tenforums.com

 tenforums.com
 was found in the following list(s):

 hosts-file.net-mmt.txt

also, pings show a redirect to 127.0.0.1 which is ok.

Code:

admin@RT-AC68U-5358:/tmp/home/root# ping tenforums.com
PING tenforums.com (0.0.0.0): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.249 ms
64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.222 ms
64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.184 ms
64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.209 ms
--- tenforums.com ping statistics ---
4 packets transmitted, 4 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 0.184/0.216/0.249 ms

admin@RT-AC68U-5358:/tmp/home/root#

i then add tenforums.com to the white list and proccess all lists.

now pings show an OK redirect to the ip, but website wont load at all. i have tried in different browsers and devices with the same result.
temporarily disabling diversion will of course let me access the website.

diversion log still shows that the whitelisted domain is still being blocked

Code:

 i  This follows the Dnsmasq log file (tail -f)

 1. Unfiltered log
 2. Unfiltered log extra highligted
 3. Filtered by blocked domains
 4. Filtered by term

 Enter selection [1-4 e=Exit] 3

  i  Press Ctrl-C to exit

 19:54:22 blocked by blockinglist www.tenforums.com

what am i missing?

Make sure to whitelist the (www) and non (www) version of the domain.

I have struggled for some time to get adverts to display on this forum as stated in the Diversion install process [..." don't disallow ads on SNB" - which I have never done].

In Firefox I get a message above the forum posts which says "Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site. We can’t connect to the server at www.snbforums.com&dtd=2082"

In Chrome I get a broken sad face graphic surrounded by grey background.

In Edge I get this message "There are no results for https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/ads?client=ca-pub-9579993617424571"

Doesn't seem to matter whether I use blocking "standard" or "standard+".
NB - I have cleared all browser caches - run ipconfig /fushdns - rebooted the router [which I hope clears the dnsmasq cache].
Installed pixelserv cert on all devices successfully.
Re-flashed firmware after full reset - applied settings manually. Re-installed Diversion and Skynet several times.

Diversion reports the following blocked domains - see Spoiler - but reluctant to whitelist any of these for fear of undermining excellent functionality of Diversion on all other sites.

I have struggled for some time to get adverts to display on this forum as stated in the Diversion install process [..." don't disallow ads on SNB" - which I have never done].

In Firefox I get a message above the forum posts which says "Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site. We can’t connect to the server at www.snbforums.com&dtd=2082"

In Chrome I get a broken sad face graphic surrounded by grey background.

In Edge I get this message "There are no results for https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/ads?client=ca-pub-9579993617424571"

Doesn't seem to matter whether I use blocking "standard" or "standard+".
NB - I have cleared all browser caches - run ipconfig /fushdns - rebooted the router [which I hope clears the dnsmasq cache].
Installed pixelserv cert on all devices successfully.
Re-flashed firmware after full reset - applied settings manually. Re-installed Diversion and Skynet several times.

Diversion reports the following blocked domains - see Spoiler - but reluctant to whitelist any of these for fear of undermining excellent functionality of Diversion on all other sites.

Help?

See last paragraph https://www.snbforums.com/threads/diversion-the-router-ad-blocker.48538/page-57#post-441852

I have not seen any noticeable increase in ads since doing so and this site now loads correctly.

Many thanks Jack - sorted at last ... +1

I SO wish this forum had separate sub-forums for popular add-ons like Diversion / Skynet / FreshJR etc - so that issues raised could conveniently be added under separate posts with appropriate titles.

I used to spend a lot of time on Avid's Media Composer Forums - and that was a real treat to use as it was organized as suggested above.
Trawling through pages and pages of divergent issues raised for say Diversion on a single thread is time consuming and often unproductive - even though the answer lurks somewhere in the thread.

Oh - and I do use the search tool on the forum extensively ... but despite that still struggle more often than not to pin down the issue I'm after.

Sigh!

In c edit email settings and remove the flag.

So, in c when I select 5. Edit email settings, send testmail I then select 10. Edit SSL flag: what do I enter?

(edit: i just press 'enter' got it)

In el in Settings you can eable to auto-whitelist www and non-www domains.

Hi @thelonelycoder, noticed a typo in option 2 below - "highligted" -> "highlighted".

Code:

 What do you want to do?  f
____________________________________________________

  i  This follows the Dnsmasq log file (tail -f)

 1. Unfiltered log
 2. Unfiltered log extra highligted
 3. Filtered by blocked domains
 4. Filtered by term

 Enter selection [1-4 e=Exit]

A feature request is the option to update my block file more often than weekly (twice a week, every 48 hours, etc). Thanks!

Spydawg · Nov 7, 2018

Well I can't keep this running right.. after a day of running, I start getting everything blocked, even stuff in the whitelist file. I have to restart Diversion to fix daily.
Only running Diversion standard with standard block file with + Hosts.

Not running Pixelserv.

I installed Skynet to test and it still needs daily restart of Diversion.

Not sure why.

Typo is noted, thanks.

The updates of the hosts files are on a more glacial level than you think they are. Some update on a weekly basis, others do it bi-weekly or even only once a month. Some even less frequent.
A weekly update is a good compromise.

Any syslog entries that might be of interest? Dnsmasq entries maybe?
Whitelisted content does not suddenly add itself back to the blocking file.

Spydawg · Nov 7, 2018

I just had to restart Diversion again, but after a restart it still didn't work right.. I had to change blocking file a few times to get it to start showing adds here on forums again, it's currently using small+
When it starts acting up again I'll check logs..
Do I just select "f" follow dnsmasq.log Is that what your looking for?

I just had to restart Diversion again, but after a restart it still didn't work right.. I had to change blocking file a few times to get it to start showing adds here on forums again, it's currently using small+
When it starts acting up again I'll check logs..
Do I just select "f" follow dnsmasq.log Is that what your looking for?

The router Syslog, not dnsmasq.
Also, next time Diversion seems to play up, use sf and post the content of dnsmasq.conf.
