Adblock not working as expected

[Klemen86]

Hello,

I am trying to set up adblock. It seems to be running OK, I added the following sources: adaway, adguard, disconnect, energized_ultimate, yoyo (around 460K domains). But adds are still showing like crazy if I disable adblock in my Chrome browser. I thought that OpenWRT adblock performance would be similar to browser based adblock. Is this expected or am I doing something wrong?

Below is my configuration:

Status / Version

enabled / 4.0.6

Blocked Domains

456.140

Active Sources

adaway, adguard, disconnect, energized_ultimate, yoyo

DNS Backend

dnsmasq, /tmp/dnsmasq.d

Run Utils

/usr/bin/aria2c, /usr/bin/awk

Run Interfaces

trigger: wan, report: -

Run Directories

base: /tmp, backup: /etc/adblck, report: /tmp, jail: /tmp

Run Flags

backup: 1, reset: 0, flush: 0, force: 0, search: 0, report: 0, mail: 0, jail: 0

Last Run

start, 0m 35s, 970/547/699, 02.09.2020 18:49:31

Thank you!

• Verify that OpenWrt is your only DNS server on the client.
• Make sure to disable DoH in the browser.

Thank you, I used ISP Ipv6 DNS. I changed this setting to auto and now it seems it works. I have a feeling that internet sites are now loading slower. Is this due to adblock?

It may be the latency of your upstream DNS provider:

What kinda machine are you running OpenWrt/Adblock on?

The problem resolved for itself, now pages load fast as expected. I run modified version of OpenWRT (FriendlyWRT) on NanoPi R2S (4 core 1,5Ghz, 1 GB RAM).
