I have a "TP-Link Archer A7 v5" Router using OpenWRT Firmware obviously...
The VPN I choose to use was "mullvad" VPN and I am aware of Wireguard and adblockers on that and whatnot (that is my next thing to test) but I am using their OpenVPN not WireGuard
I want to use any adblocker on the router, I have both Installed "simple adblock" and "adblock"
It does not seem to work with the VPN Running. To my research I may have to modify my ".ovpn" config File or my DNS as it may be routing all traffic through the Mullvad VPN DNS their for "adblock" wont work?
I want the VPN to Run as well as the Adblocker to work at the same time, I get the concept of using an extension in the browser and or even WireGuard but would it be possible to make "Mullvad" VPN (OpenVPN) work with Adblocker on the Router? I essentially want all connected devices either via Ethernet or Wireless to be Routed through the VPN at the Same time get ads blocked from the Ad Blocker installed onto OpenWRT.
This was the guide I used to make Mullvad work (if it helps) https://mullvad.net/en/help/openwrt-routers-and-mullvad-vpn/
I can show my configs if needed or any "/etc" file I also did try messing with the Settings , with "Forced Zones" etc but after testing a site I been trying to block for testing purposes (cars.com) it always seems to load. Their was a few Times having a Wire Connection and Constantly "Refreshing" and "Restarting" adblock on the Router it seemed ? to block the site ? to say the least its not persistent .
Is their anything I can do or should modify to get both things working at once despite the other options such as WireGuard and just using an Browser Extension ?
I tried looking into my ".ovpn" config file I am not great when it comes to looking and creating or modifying open VPN Config Files.
This is the config file what follows after is what I assume is a PGP Key or Some Big Key
