Ok thanks you for your anwser. Appreciate it.
I have another question actually my repo is called entware-ng.arm and is not supported by AB to install pixelserv.



How can i modify your script to make it OK ? If i rename my dir it will screws a lot of things.

Will it do the trick if i rename all entware-ng entries in pixelserv-tls.add with entware-ng.arm ?

Thanks.
I'm sure if you rename the folder to entware-ng and modify the name in /jffs/scripts/post-mount it will work just fine.

I cannot say what will happen if you rename it in the addon file. And the file gets completely replaced if you update it.
Also, the download is automated of that file. I would not recommend it.

No it'll work without it, as long as your router is the gateway and DNS is set to it.
 
What about wifi devices?
If wifi is on, or you are connected through VPN to the router: Ads free, but some youtube ads are still shown.
 
just an observation , and I don't know if it is pertinent to your problem or not.... your mount point is shown as /sda1 which means you have not given a name to the partition.
I would advise you to name your partitions, because /sda1 may not always be true depending on if other devices are plugged in or out of your router, or the order devices are detected on reboot.
Once this happens your scripts can now be pointing at the wrong or a non existent partition.

Thanks for the tip however dont believe its related in this instance. I dont plug any other devices into the router.
 
Just downloaded this and everything seemed good initially. (Great work btw!) Was working fine for a few hours and suddenly router rebooted (i'm on merlin's latest 380.63_2).

Checked AB solution and saw the following;
AB-Solution message:
Error(s) found. Type 22 and hit [Enter]


Did as instructed and the output was "Content looks good" except for the following;

checking dnsmasq.conf
file found
/etc/dnsmasq.conf is missing content
Errors found.
Read the check's output for clues.

Am not sure whats happening or where to go from here... Any help appreciated..

PS, I can install ab solutions and use terminal in jiffy but I'm not a power user. Also, I'm on OS X.

Edit; Just did a reinstall and still got the same error message.

Edit 2; Reformatted JFFS partion, reformatted external usb disk, reinstalled. Everything seems ok now. Will see if it acts up again.

Thank you!

Sometimes, the router blocks some domains even though they are not included in any blocking lists:

Examples: banking.postbank.de
telldus.se

They are not in my blocking list, but they are being blocked none the less. When I'm on wifi with my phone, they are not being opened (saying it can't find the server or whatever), but as soon as I disable wifi and access the sites from mobile, everything works great. How can that be?

Put them in the whitelist ([el] edit white or black list), select 1, then 1 again, enter your sites, without www. , press 3 to process the list, and try again, let us know.

Perfect ! Last quick question i saw during installation process that it generated a certificate. What is it used for ? Thanks.
For pixelserv-tls to work (explicitly the tls part) it needs to to communicate on the secure layer, the certificates are used for that.
 
Hello!

Why if i connect my openvpn client the ab-solution doesn't block ads?

dnsmasq is being bypassed and the VPN providers own DNS servers are queried. AB-solution needs DNS queries to be handled by dnsmasq for ads to be blocked
