Adblock support thread

That's very handy! Thank you very much for spending your time maintaining the project and even adding new features! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

I’ve been running a dev version of Adblock for a few weeks now, in which I’ve updated the look and feel of the front page and the DNS reporting page (Dashboard style):

What do you think of the changes – should this go into the official repository?

Thanks for your feedback.

There must be a bug somewhere. We Americans see from your dashboard that Adblock hasn't run since April 8, 2026! :grin:

That's 4 August. Good old Europe: base ten all the way down, dates included. Last time someone assumed the other convention, a NASA orbiter went through the Martian atmosphere instead of around it — so let's just say we're keeping you safe. :rofl:

Looks good to me. Go for it.

What about banip? Will it receive similar interface uplift?

adblock > travelmate > banIP

I am missing some runtime buttons, stop, suspend ... some hidden menu under or cut off?

Like before, under the config section (unchanged).

Can't we make dates respect browser locale settings like they made on main Status page?

Yep, we can ... but I don't like it - cause from maintainer's view I would like to have a 1:1 representation of the JSON data.

Anyway, with the next update I will write the universally accepted and unambiguous date format YYYY-MM-DD (Year-Month-Day), defined by the international standard ISO 8601 in the JSON file .... just as the DNS report already does today.

I don't like it either but respecting Time Format defined in System Properties could be a sensible compromise. Actually this is exactly what I would expect from Status Page and all other dates.

This is very much appreciated! I personally prefer to have ISO 8601 everywhere and to have it in for the last run on the adblock's overview page is a very welcome change!

After booting router I see 2 CPU cores (which is correct):

... after running adblock reload action I see only one:

Same behavior in banIP too. Is it a bug or a feature?

Definitely a feature ... :wink: For details see:

Still you can overrule that with a manual cpu core setting.

Looks like something is broken then...

... config (just in case):

config adblock 'global'
	option adb_enabled '1'
	option adb_debug '0'
