[Poll] AB-Solution usage

[thelonelycoder]

Hey all
Coding the AB-Solution shell script has been a fun project for me so far, and I am pleased it is being used by some of you.
This gets me right to the point.

Since GitHub has no download statistics at all, I was wondering how many of you are using my script.
It's relevant to me to find out how high I should prioritize my time for the next level of AB-Solution:
The Asuswrt-Merlin integrated GUI version.

From what I have done so far, I can tell this is a major undertaking. And I want to make sure the time I spend to complete the GUI version is worth my time and finds it's use by an interested user base.

Thanks for participating.

I know of at least 6 other users that do not frequent the SNB forums that use this script as well.

I have it installed on mine and family and friends routers. By providing a GUI and plugins you would probably reach a wider user base, but it is simple enough to set up as it is. And it is mostly set and forget once you configure the lists properly...

Still, fingers crossed for GUI candy. Thank you for your efforts.

@thelonelycoder - I didn't use Adblocker on router, but I am willing to try that for sure
if you are willing to invest time into this project, post your paypal donation address so people who appreciate your effort can send something back as token of gratitude

Thanks, that's not planned for the moment. But I may think about that option.

I want to use your project but so far haven't gotten around to do so yet. I wanted to check the install script first, I already have several scripts of my own in place and I don't want them overwritten. I need to find the time...

Be sure to have a backup of your sripts in /jffs/scripts/
Better save than sorry.

Yeah definitely do a GUI version.

I'm using it. Its great and thankyou for your hard work

I don't use it but I have been following with interest. I use a Raspberry Pi as a DNS server to block malicious domains (including malvertising), using a combination of the lists at malwaredomains.com and pgl.yoyo.com. But with a GUI, and the same emphasis on protection from malicious domains (i.e. not just plain ad blocking) I would seriuosly consider switching to your AB Solution.

Using it, and if theres a GUI version I'll be adopting that as I'm useless at remembering commands. Brilliant work.

Which fork of Asuswrt-Merlin are you using?

Pi-Hole or a custom setup?

Not Pi-Hole. It was a setup Marcus Roskosch had on his Network Toolbox website last year. (The details have gone from his website but thankfully I kept them.)

it's a rolling port of Asus-Merlin.

I see, it officially supports these routers:
- Netgear R7000
- Linksys EA6900
- Huawei WS880
Anyone using them with AB-Solution please report...
