Diversion Diversion - the Router Ad-Blocker

[adampk17]

Nice!

But a plea from a sometimes frustrated user: can we put all the add-ons in the ADDONS tab? I understand that some of them are related to other functions (e.g., Skynet is firewall, etc.), but it would seem more intuitive to have them in one place.

(Or maybe make the location be user-selectable?)

I gotta agree with you. I’d prefer them all in one location as well.

What I'm (finally) working on, this is just a teaser and far from finished and complete.

thelonelycoder,
Thank you for naming the tab as "Diversion" vs "Diversion Stats" so that we get a little more real estate for more tabs

It appears to be a settings page, not a stats page?

Labels something like “Div Set” for the forthcoming @thelonelycoder page, and “Div Stat” for the @Jack Yaz uiDivStats page perhaps?
Especially since it appears those two tabs may end up side by side on the LAN side-menu?

Would suggest keeping tabs different so they are easily recognizable:

Diversion and Div-stats

or any other combination that accomplishes this.

Isn’t it the right of parents to name their own babies?

It's going to be Diversion and uiDivStats for the two tabs in the LAN menu.

This is exactly what I was looking for in this moment Can't wait to have it !

Not happy, the Entware maintainers have decided to remove the package zip from their repository for ARM and HND routers. The oldish MIPSEL based routers are not affected by this.
I don't know exactly when that happened but it affects existing Diversion installations if the backup function is set to use zip as the compression.
When already installed, zip will work, just don't accidentally remove that Entware package.

Can someone give me the best alternate Entware package name that makes Windows compatible zip files?
Thanks.

P7zip. It's CLI for the famous 7zip application.

Just an FYI on the image hosting site you are using. I currently am using CleanBrowsing for DNS, and they are blocking i.imgur.com (and imgur.com). So, all I get for the posted images now is a '[ IMG ]' placeholder. Since CleanBrowsing is one of the options made available by default in Asuswrt-Merlin, I'm not inclined to switch it off entirely or make any exceptions for any devices (I know I can do so easily enough via the DNSFilter tab in LAN). I also know this is my choice, but wanted there to be an awareness none-the-less. Thanks!

I see no reason why that site should be blocked, its image hosting is used extensively by many. I remember back when one reddit user announced to code it just to allow non-obnoxious image hosting for that platform.
Most other image hosters suck, while I admit that in the past years imgur got a bit overboard with how they display content.
Nonetheless, the site is still my preferred image hoster and I have no plans to change that.

Try to get in contact with the CleanBrowsing guys and ask for reasons.

That's what I now use in my CSV exports. Feel free to sample my code @thelonelycoder !

I've had to turn off Diversion this morning as following a Bitdefender Total Security update, the software is throwing up tons of warnings about suspicious certificates. I tried replacing the Pixelserv certificate to see if that would solve the issue, but it hasn't, so I have had to disable Diversion for the time being and go back to using uBlock Origin.

You could disable pixelserv-tls in ep, then adblocking will work, without the cert errors.
The blocking IP auto-changes to 0.0.0.0

Pixelserv disabled solved a number of strange issues here. Been running that way for some weeks now, all appears fine.

What is the t, w, n means in
0 t 0 w 0 n ads since ?

total, week, new ads since last count. The ads are counted twice daily at 5:20 and 17:20. Use ac to manually update.

The only trouble is you then start to see these kind of messages appearing on web pages.

Does anyone know why this might have occurred? Does the problem likely lie with Bitdefender as that is the only thing I am aware of that has changed since yesterday, when everything was working OK? I suppose I could try uninstalling it temporarily, but then I would have the hassle of reconfiguring it (it doesn't have an option to save the configuration file like Kaspersky does).

Can you add this to the faq page or other appropriate location. I couldn't find any mention of it on the website.

Hey I got a question.

It seems like diversion (or pixelserv) is blocking some certificates from acting properly. Normally it has not been a problem but recently, because of corona, I’ve been working more from home and noticed that some programs within Office 365 act up (namley forms) and complain about the certificate not being trusted.

If I turn diverson off I can open it.

Can someone explain what to modify and how (assume I’m an idiot).
