pixelserv pixelserv - A Better One-pixel Webserver for Adblock

[jrmwvu04]

Any syslog-ng users see such delay by the way?

No, no delay.

Add these entries to your adblock script's whitelist

fls-na.amazon.com
fls-eu.amazon.co.uk

Restart dnsmasq on your router. Reboot your client PC or smartphone. Issue should be fixed.

Not Working same dog image!

Not Working same dog image!

I tried again in both Android and iOS. Still work for me.

If I blocked the NA one (Amazon decides I need to be served by NA..), I see all sorts of dogs in Android.

Make sure they're indeed not blocked after you whitelist them.

config-webgui.sh is not working.

The first error message told me I did not have pixelserv running or not installed. I fixed it by this code:

  psVersion=$(echo $(pixelserv-tls -v | awk 'NR == 1 {print $2}'))
  if [ -z "$psVersion" ]; then
      echo "You do not appear to have pixelserv-tls installed or running." &&  \
      exit 1
  fi
#  [[ "$(/bin/ps | grep -v grep | grep -o pixelserv-tls)" = ""  || ! -x /opt/bin/pixelserv-tls ]] && \
#      echo "You do not appear to have pixelserv-tls installed or running." &&  \
#      exit 1

It is not hanging here after I type option "a":

Type a+ [ all.dnsomatic.com !=  ]
+ echo -n , b
, b+ echo -n  to proceed or anything else to quit:
 to proceed or anything else to quit: + read ans
a
+ echo

+ _domain=
+ [ a = a ]
+ _domain=router.asus.com
+ [ a = b ]
+ [ router.asus.com =  ]

Your change is simply another way to check if pixelserv-tls is installed but then you don't check if pixelserv-tls is running.

What's the original issue that you run into?

It is not hanging here after I type option "a":

Type a+ [ all.dnsomatic.com !=  ]
+ echo -n , b
, b+ echo -n  to proceed or anything else to quit:
 to proceed or anything else to quit: + read ans
a
+ echo

+ _domain=
+ [ a = a ]
+ _domain=router.asus.com
+ [ a = b ]
+ [ router.asus.com =  ]

I don't quite get the 2nd issue you run into..

That's perhaps SNBforums truncates code block in desperate and senseless effort to protect it from being hacked. Perhaps you could post it on pastebin..

I used it yesterday, worked fine for me?

I figured as much. Just trying to get past the error quickly. In the log file, I see pixelserv-tls is started successfully.

Diversion reports it running as well. When I run the ps command below from the command line, it returns null. So, I must match the condition = "".

/bin/ps | grep -v grep | grep -o pixelserv-tls)" = ""

I add the set -x line to the code to see where it was hanging. So you are seeing the code being "echoed" which is hard to read for interactive scripts.

After I enter the option A to have the script generate cert for router.asus.log, it just hangs.

I think there is another issue occurring. In the testing, I see that Diversion is not honoring the contents my white list file..Will try uninstalling and reinstalling Diversion.

@Xentrk Nice LCD panel and font..and color theme (from Diversion).

Well, I don't know what's the underlying issue here. Many people have run the config-webgui.sh without issue. Recently one guy did run into some issue on option "b" (which I believe is less popular). That bug was a typo and quickly fixed too.

I guess you've to figure out what's happening in your router. That's part of the burden of proof when people start tinkering and I would guess having some bespoke stuff of their own creation

Egads! I remember double checking that switch value and looking at the options. I need to take a break and get some coffee!.

So the cert error has returned now that I fixed the switch (I set it to -l 4). Diversion appears to be blocking reddit.com even though it is in the white list. I checked a few other domains in the white list file and have the same issue. It appears to be an issue with Diversion not processing the white list rather than pixelserv-tls.

 

[Xentrk]

The script is working now. Issue was an invalid switch value being passed to pixelserv-tls at run time. So pixelserv-tls was not running. The system messages made me think it was. If you don't see the two port Listening messages below, then pixelserv-tls is not running.

Edit unfortunately, I had no padlock and had to revert the change

If you see a padlock, congrats or else you may revert the change.

If I recall correctly, I had to restart Firefox after importing the certificate before the padlock was shown. I don't know how other browsers handle this though.

Hi Kvic
Sep 3 20:49:24 Diversion: created br0ixelserv-tls 192.168.2.2, from /opt/etc/init.d/S80pixelserv-tls

Any idea whats causing this? My DHCP address starts at 192.168.2.3

I changed my dhcp range starting at 192.168.2.4 and then tried to change pixelserv ip address to 192.168.2.3

still aborting and saying address is already in use - crazy

Are you running an OpenVPN server on port 443?

 

[joe scian]

Y

Are you running an OpenVPN server on port 443?

yes of course I am - what a dumbass I am thank you very much

 

[DonnyJohnny]

Y

If not wrong, I think openvpn can have custom line.
port-share PixelservIP 443

 

[klingon888]

Not Working same dog image!

I also had to whitelist mads.amazon.com. Using AMZ app is like a moving target!

 

[elorimer]

port-share PixelservPort 443

Is it the case that port-share only works if OpenVPN is in TCP mode?
Or put local <ddns address> in the custom config box: pixelserv - A Better One-pixel Webserver for Adblock

Sorry. I think I am using the <local ddnsAdress> too..
Thanks for refreshing my memory. Haha.

 

[joe scian]

OK so I did the easy change to OVPN port - changed to something other than 443. Checked Netstat display all sockets - nothing else listening or establised on port 443. After restarting pixelserv and even reinstalling i still get

Use below to figure out what processes occupy port 443.
And kindly ask the author not to bind to all interfaces. That's not good practice...

$ opkg install lsof
$ /opt/bin/lsof -nPT|grep :443
