Adblock support thread

NoobestNoob · July 25, 2020, 9:59am

SSL was the issue, installed and I can see count in blocked domains. I am gonna give some time before I fetch the report.

On which interface should I get the report for?

dibdot · July 25, 2020, 10:00am

Just keep it "unspecified" ... the auto-detection works quite fine in most setups.

The message is quite clear. So install the missing packages on your router.

spurgeonspooner · August 8, 2020, 4:20am

Has anyone experienced adblock interfering with Google Cloud Messaging (now I think it's called Firebase Cloud Messaging). I can't figure out why my phones stop receiving background messages when I enable adblock on my home network. It happens regardless of blocklist selection.

As a novice, I'm not sure where to even start with troubleshooting this. Any pointers would be appreciated.

dibdot · August 15, 2020, 9:32am

No, most probably a sort problem, please provide the output of:

sort --version

siskai · August 15, 2020, 10:09am

sort: unrecognized option: version
BusyBox v1.30.1 () multi-call binary.

dibdot · August 15, 2020, 12:25pm

The adblock package depends on gnu sort (coreutils-sort, it's a dependency during package installation) ... it doesn't work with busybox sort, cause it uses a mergesort.

vgaetera · August 15, 2020, 12:58pm

I've noticed that Adblock has changed the Dnsmasq config method from addnhosts to confdir.

However, there's an opinion:

@dibdot, could you clarify which method is more effective from the point of blocklist processing speed and RAM consumption.

siskai · August 15, 2020, 1:22pm

The adblock package depends on gnu sort (coreutils-sort, it's a dependency during package installation) ... it doesn't work with busybox sort, cause it uses a mergesort.

I reinstalled adblock and package coreutils-sort. Now adblock works fine. Thank you!

dibdot · August 15, 2020, 1:43pm

Hi,

sorry I've never tested that - and adblock never used addnhosts ... cause it's not flexible enough (e.g. you have to block each host separately for IPv4 and IPv6, no domain wildcards, no selective whitelisting etc.). The now used "address" method is quite flexible and should be a bit faster than the formerly used "serversfile" method. If there are concerns regarding performance it should be addressed upstream IMHO.

I know that the pihole guys are proud of blocklists with multi-zillions entries ... but that's not my playground.

xeonpj · August 18, 2020, 9:59am

I hope someday it works for youtube of the smart tv, as it does in windows

crdlx · August 18, 2020, 12:31pm

Hi,
Could anyone help me?
Adblock always automatically clear all filters I have added in Advanced\ Edit Configuration.
Anyway to fix this?
Best regards.

edneyhelene · August 19, 2020, 4:55am

Hello, i dont seem to be able to make adblock work on my archer C7, simple adblock works out of the box tho.

I'm looking for an step by step on how to use adblock and enforce regex blocking settings, can i have help please? thanks in advance

Rebelyouth · August 20, 2020, 3:54am

@edneyhelene

I had to set Cloudflare and Google DNS under WAN and Wan6, using my provider DNS(not really a good idea) I could not get AdBlock working.
After that is working pretty well.

edneyhelene · August 20, 2020, 5:11am

I will try again with these tips but im almost sure im already using google dns.

Thanks

Then use simple-adblock or provide debug logs of an adblock run at minimum. BTW, please don't mix/use both tools at the same time.
