I doubt it. My RT-AC86U always runs along the limit of memory. So far this was never a problem as the system handles the freeing just fine.
You are right to assume that your old swap file is no longer present. Or it is being mounted later when the USB device is mounted.
Final suspect (possibly major clue for the better informed members) - pixelserv - which would report over 400k http requests overnight when most network devices not powered on ???
When people say pixelserv on this forum, it generally means pixelserv-tls..
So hi..I'm the author of pixelserv-tls and you're running my code for free (literally 24 hrs per day and 7 days per week). I appreciate that..
I'm not clear about your memory issue (didn't follow previous posts) but I could tell you that it won't be caused by pixelserv-tls. Not to be overly proud, I could tell people one thing.. pixelserv-tls is perhaps the best written "script" in terms of performance and resource usage on this forum.
For that matter, I should clarify that pixelserv-tls is not a script but it's like DNSmasq or httpd - a C program that's always running in the background and serving its users from your router. So in terms of your observed high number of requests, you should figure out what devices on your LAN are generating those requests to begin with. You could get more info on how to do that by spending little time on pixelserv-tls' wiki on Github.
In the past, this forum used to be flooded with new ideas and interesting scripts. That trend started its decline one or two years ago. I don't know the exact reason. If I have to make a guess, it perhaps has to do with the trend of a few projects started collecting donations for work.
Don't get me wrong. I support monetary reward for reasonable amount of voluntary work. At the same time, perhaps some people like myself also feel the importance of clarifying credits in the tools used for these "semi-commercial" products.
Take Diversion as an example. It's a user-friendly script (and huge..won't be inappropriate to be called a script-based app..in the domain of installation/configuration plus a few other bells and whistles). It helps noobs and other ppl set up adblock on the router quickly. Under the hood though, it's DNSmasq doing the actual heavy lifting (24 hrs per day 7 days per week) as well as pixelserv-tls if you also use it.
So for proud users of Diversion that you care to mention it in your signature, I would invite these people to also include pixelserv-tls in your tag line. You perhaps should also mention Entware (terrific team and outstanding effort).
I feel like some hosts files' authors have personal bias towards some sites. I'm really surprised to know that tenforums.com was blocked completely - that forum is extremely helpful.Make sure to whitelist the (www) and non (www) version of the domain.

I haven't used Pushbullet for years. Is that still a thing? I deleted my account after they removed many of the free features back when it was the new new thing.Is it possible to have diversion send an notification through pushbullet as an additional option to sending an email
If yes, I'd like to make that a feature suggestion for consideration
The author says that a small usb drive formatted as ext2 will work, also naming the drive is a good idea as well. Not sure what drive you have and what size and format it is.hello guys, pardon this noob here. I am trying to install the blocker but which folder in the root directory should I navigate to b4 entering the command?
when trying to enter it from the root directory
i get a " Command 'curl -Os https://diversion.ch/install && sh install' failed with return code 23 and error message
then i tried going into the jffs folder to enter the install command.
I get the welcome msg, and saying that Diversion is not installed on this router. then error msg pops up saying host is not communicating for more than 15 seconds.
may I know what am I doing wrong?
Edit: alright right after this, i tried entering the command in putty and i got the option to install.
but now i am getting error saying no compatible device found gotta find out my attached drive

I use it for my flexget alerts when I torrent I know it's not the most feature rich app but it's simple to useI haven't used Pushbullet for years. Is that still a thing? I deleted my account after they removed many of the free features back when it was the new new thing.
That is what my expectation was. I don’t know what the diversion categories are relative to what they were in absolution, but there was a standard blocklist at one point that was mvps, poyo, and someonewhocares. I would recommend you go no further than that. And certainly nothing from hosts-file.net. As @loveleeyoungae found out, those lists are far too aggressive.Well since my last post and changing my blocking file to small+ it has been working great. I even installed Pixelserv-tls and it running great too.
I'll change back to the standard+ blocking file, I hope it'll go well.

yeah thanks sir. i realize my drive wasn't already formatted to ext2. will do so and retry.The author says that a small usb drive formatted as ext2 will work, also naming the drive is a good idea as well. Not sure what drive you have and what size and format it is.

thanks @thelonelycoder too!
Diversion is an ad-blocker. It blocks advertisments. A filled in space of "This ad blocked by Diversion and pixelserv-tls" gets rather boring after one view.Alright sires, i got the install up and it looks to be working, but should I be seeing placeholders for the Ads if they're blocked?

Looks like adding googleads.g.doubleclick.net to the whitelist might help.thanks sir for the fast reply.
what i meant to say is.. activating diversion. i am seeing this
is it normal and suppose to be like this?
