Adblock support thread

Please provide the output of

ps | grep "tcpdump"

Tcpdump isn't running:

root@ROUTER:~# ps | grep "tcpdump"
 6613 root      1080 R    grep tcpdump

Please enable adblock debugging and provide the full adblock logs (logread -e "adblock") after a restart - thanks.

Hi,
in the manual you can find this explanation:

Control the adblock service manually with /etc/init.d/adblock start/stop/restart/reload/suspend/resume/status or use the LuCI frontend

But on the console you see this:

Syntax: /etc/init.d/adblock [command]

Available commands:
        start   Start the service
        stop    Stop the service
        restart Restart the service
        reload  Reload configuration files (or restart if service does not implement reload)
        enable  Enable service autostart
        disable Disable service autostart
        suspend Suspend adblock processing
        resume  Resume adblock processing
        query   <DOMAIN> Query active blocklists for specific domains
        report  <SEARCH> Print dns query statistics with an optional search parameter

So "status" seems to be missing - is this a bug or a feature?

A.

Reporting is disabled in your config (report: 0). Please enable this option and restart adblock ...

That's the result of an upstream change in master which hasn't be backported to 19.07 up to now ...

Uppss, here you are:

Jan 11 18:38:47 wrt1900acs user adblock-3.8.14[6412]: blocklist with overall 170758 domains loaded successfully (Linksys WRT1900ACS, OpenWrt 19.07.0 r10860-a3ffeb413b)

AdBlock is really useful only for protecting young children or for work environments, since you can block the home wifi or workplace network from accessing certain internet domains (!!) .. like Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Messenger, WhatsApp, adult sites, etc.

It is not really useful for teenagers and older people, even for the purpose of blocking ads anymore (since their method of blocking domains is one exact domain per line, it is really really very ineffective):

  1. Anyone with a mobile device can bypass the router and go to the sites directly with their mobile internet.

  2. Youtube etc. sites ads are not affected by using AdBlock, since those advertisers monitor the AdBlock lists and revise their domains on a real time basis.

The only real way to effectively use AdBlock is this:

  1. Block certain websites that you really want to block (it is domain based, after all)

  2. Install Ublock Origin ( by Raymond Hill (gorhill) ) on your browser (and kids browser), it is really effective, it supports Adblock+ type blocklists, which are updated constantly and there is a blocklist for every taste.

A request:

If someone could write a Ublock Origin app for OpenWrt, with the possibility to select which IP addresses are affected by the blocker, that would help everyone in the community.

The result would be that you could have completely ad-free Youtube on your TV for example, since TV-s usually do not have any option to install browser extensions.

The AdBlock in it's current form is based on really old technology and is really ineffective. And they recently removed support for AdBlock+ type blocklists.

I uninstalled AdBlock after this, since I have no need to block any websites in my family, children are 12 and 17, they have their own mobile phones with unlimited 4G.... you can guess once if are they using WiFi when they are home?

No, you can't, as you're misunderstanding the fundamentals here. With the push towards https-everywhere, basically all communication is encrypted - the router never gets to see anything but the DNS requests (and even that's changing, with DNS over https being forced upon the default browser users) in the clear. All what happens are ssl encrypted data streams to remote IPs - and with the proliferation of CDNs and 'clouds', these IPs can't really be indentified any further either, as they're splitting up the content over dozens of IPs and share content from different origins from the same IPs (look at Russia's overblocking to kill of telegram, which has really nasty consequences for unrelated traffic, but doesn't really affect telegram either).

Now the clients, via browser plugins, have a chance at getting at the unencrypted content and to evaluate and filter that (observe how browser vendors are making it harder for those plugins to do their job), but neither your router nor a dedicated proxy have any chance to get this kind of insight. With this in mind, adblock is still remarkably effective - but it won't ever get everything.

Hi,

sorry I'm out of ideas (same applies to banIP), maybe you've installed some unusual core component e.g. other shell etc., you can try this manually:

/usr/sbin/tcpdump -nn -s0 -l -i br-lan port 53 -C1 -W5 -w /tmp/adb_report.pcap

First of all thank you for your help!

I'm sorry this was my bad...I didn't specify the correct report interface...

Adblock works as designed. :+1:

Using Adblock (3.8.14 version) on metered connection (450k+ domains). How to apply backup_mode like older version of Adblock? I want adblock only updates the blocklists every a week, not every router's reboot like default setting (router reboot every 6 hours). Thank for your help!

adblock backup is always enabled in 3.8.x, just set 'adb_backupdir' to a flash drive or to another non-volatile disk (default is /tmp with tmpfs).

Thank you for your help! Have set 'adb_backupdir' to /mnt. Is it meant Adblock wouldn't automatically update the blocklists in every router's reboot? Or I have add manual_mode in Adblock config (like older adblock version)? I have added cron job 11 5 * * 1 /etc/init.d/adblock reload , in order to update the blocklists every week. Thanks a lot.

yes, usual startup action in adblock 3.8.x is 'start' which uses backups if available and only download/refresh enabled sources without backup. You can override this with the extra option 'adb_starttype', e.g. set this to 'reload' to refresh all sources with every reboot.

Quick question, i was using a cron entry to trigger a list update via:
0 06 * * * /etc/init.d/adblock reload, is this still needed or does the service itself check regularly for updated lists?
I don't see any "update check interval" or similar setting, so i'm not sure?

Hi friends, I want to use esata list on my router, but I don't know how to configure awk to read the file correctly, it only reads 41 entries from 2000 that contains the file. I've tried that configuration taken from another list but it doesn't work. Thanks

config source 'easylist_spanish'
	option adb_src 'https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/easylistspanish.txt'
	option adb_src_rset 'BEGIN{FS=\"[|^]\"}/^\|\|([[:alnum:]_-]+\.)+[[:alpha:]]+\^("\\\$third-party")?$/{print tolower(\$3)}'
	option adb_src_desc 'lista easylist adblock 2.0 español. 2.000 entradas aprox.'
	option enabled '1'

Hi. Not sure if right here, but since 19.07 upgrade, my adblock (3.8.14-1, luci git-20.021.30444-421791d-1) is no longer running. Tried to reinstall without success. Services > Adblock > Runtime information shows all entries "-" and Suspend / Resume adblock is greyed out. Running on a D-Link DIR-869. Thanks, Daniel
(same applies btw for luci-app-statistics, which shows no Graphs anymore since upgrade)

yep, this is still needed ... I've added a simple cron wrapper in adblock 4, but this is not ready for prime time yet ...
