Diversion Easy toggle for Diversion?

[Dancing Lemur]

Apologies if this has been asked before, but is there an easy way to temporarily disable Diversion without going to a ssh session or the WebUI?

There are video ads that play on the PBS streaming service before every show. With Diversion running, they don't load and the show hangs. I need to disable Diversion to let them load and then reenable it. I thought to whitelist the site , but it appears to be from doubleclick and I'd rather not do it for that.

What I would like is to be able to tell a Google Home "disable diversion for 1 minute" or something like that. It has to be easy for the non-tech people in the house to be able to do it. If there are other ideas on how to do this, I'd be open to them. Maybe a pinpointed whitelist based on IP address?

Thanks!

diversion allows currently to be disable through ATM for a set amount of time but as far as a I know not through the shortcut if you use iOS. You can disable it through iOS shortcut but have to manually re-enable when ready for nw.

SSH into your router and run the below command before running the video

diversion a

Which disables ad blocking. And after the video is loaded, run the same code again to enable ad blocking.

I don't have this issue with Diversion on.

The IOS shortcut worked. I'll have to see if I can do something similar with Android and then maybe hook it up to Google Home. I suppose I might be able to do it with Siri.

As for the PBS ads, it seems to come up on a Google Chromecast. If I watch on the iPad, say, I don't even see the ads. I'm running diversion with the Medium blocking list. I haven't tried with other levels.

I do like I don't have to explicitly connect via putty or the webpage.

Is there something similar for Skynet?

Thanks!

You could create a shortcut on iOS to run a command against the router like diversion does. Could run like firewall stop or whatever the command is

The SSH Button app is the Android equivalent to the iOS Shortcut app for controlling Diversion. More info is available here: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/ios-shortcut-for-diversion.55974/
