Did you use amtm to install Diversion? Are all scripts and Entware up-to-date?

Is Diversion enabled? Which website(s) do you use as a test? What adblockers are you using?

Does enabling Diversion Standard w/pixelserv-tls block those ads? Lite is too 'light' for me. :)
 
I have been disabling ad-blockers and going to website to see if ads are currently being blocked. All ads appear.

I used pi-hole for a bit but wanted to get a built in solution.
Make sure there are no DNS servers configured on the LAN / DHCP Server page. Then make sure that LAN / DNSFilter is either disabled or set to Global mode = Router.

You just need to make sure your clients and their browsers are using the router as DNS.

I essentially followed these directions.

https://www.mbreviews.com/how-to-block-ads-using-asus-router-rt-ac86u/

Steps I did.

1. Update router to Merlin Firmware Version:384.13
2. Fomated USB stick on pc to ext2 AOMEI Partition Assistant Standard Edition 8.6
3. went into router settings Enable JFFS custom scripts and configs to yes.
4. installed putty and installed Diversion via
curl -Os https://diversion.ch/install && sh install
5. Could not install pixelserv because my DHCP IP was not registering despite me changing it. So i installed the diversion lite.
6. After successful, I rebooted the router.
7. closed Firefox and opened window disabled u-block origin. Ads are still present.

You.need to change your dhcp to point at the router and not your pi

Still no dice unfortunately. I have a feeling somethings a miss after install.

Im not using a pi-hole anymore. how do I go about changing dhcp to point at router? Is this essentially changing my IP Pool Starting Address?

This is essentially what I see

https://ibb.co/jf4bwR3

when I try to install via pixel serv i get:

Enter pixelserv-tls IP Address: 192.168.50.2
192.168.50.2 is not a reserved address

What are your dhcp start/end addresses in LAN / DHCP server?

Is your Firefox browser using DoH?

Dave, you're on to something. My firefox browser was using doh. I disabled it and it looks like lite is now working. Still having issues with upgrading to standard:

IP starting address 192.168.50.2
IP Pool Ending Address 192.168.50.254

when I change starting address to 102.168.50.3 I get:
192.168.50.3 is not a reserved address

Edit: Just checked mobile phone, looks like still receiving ads through firefox browser. Had DoH enabled on this as well but disabled still no dice.

On the mobile phone, did you restart the browser or purge the cache?
 
@Tmx2200 you must have a client device on .3. Try changing the ending to 192.168.50.253 and then using .254 as the pixelserv-tls IP.
 
I took some hosts lists from NextDNS and now have 1.999Million domains in Diversion lol
