ublockr - a minimalists approach to adblocking

[mike37]

Dang!!
Works very well! THANK YOU!!!

Am also using your malware-filter which also works well.

Question1: Are there ipset ad-blocking lists out there (yet)? ISTM the future would be adding those to your malware-filter lists (faster, lighter, ipv6 as well as ipv4). If no, has anyone devised a script that can convert a hosts file into a file of resolved addresses usable by ipset?

Question2: I do not understand "change port from 80" (use https for the gui?), and "swap setup" on my usb drive. So I didn't do anything. What do these do?

Question3: pixelserve-tls; I presume this substitutes an image for a blocked site via dnsmasq!? IIUC, the other blocker uses certificates to do this for some reason - what is that reason?

Comment: FWIW, I greatly prefer this/your solution to the other one!

1. an ipset list might result in servers not responding thats why i havent done it
2. cause to intercept traffic on http and https, pixelservs needs port 80 and 443
3 yes, dnsmasq forwards all request to itself and then pixelserv shows a 1x1 pixel

and thx for all the praise

Hi all.
Currently I enter blockstats in ssh to view the qty of blocked from the network. I dont think that includes this filter and I was wondering if there is a way to see what this blocks?

    2    72 DROP       all  --  any    any     anywhere             anywhere             match-set CustomBlock src
 7789  483K DROP       all  --  any    any     anywhere             anywhere             match-set BlockedCountries src
    0     0 DROP       all  --  any    any     anywhere             anywhere             match-set TorNodes src
 1519  117K REJECT     all  --  any    any     anywhere             anywhere             match-set privacy-filter_ipv4 src,dst reject-with icmp-port-unreachable
  300 18128 DROP       all  --  any    any     anywhere             anywhere             match-set MicrosoftSpyServers dst

well yes check on pixelserv cause that is running on your router to serve that 1x1 gif

https://www.snbforums.com/threads/pixelserv-a-better-one-pixel-webserver-for-adblock.26114

that one will show how much it blocked

so the address should be

http://your_routers_ip/servstats

replace your_router_ip with real ip address

Will defer users toward AB-Solution since my time is limited these days for ublockr, privacy-filter and malware-filter takes up most of my time and talked to the @thelonelycoder me dropping support for uBlockr and about plans for AB-Solution and the future and we came to terms about the userbase for the projects so i will bow out of the adblocking business and he will continue making AB-Solution better for more platforms, so for the few that was using this project i truly want to thank you for taggin along and point ya towards AB-Solution and future versions.
