Dnsmasq runs at boot although it's disabled

sppmaster · May 13, 2025, 10:00am

I have a router that I use currently only as a managed switch and I disabled dnsmasq, odhcpd and firewall services.

With current main branch after the device boot dnsmasq service runs although it shouldn't.

post the content of /etc/rc.d.

there's no S??dnsmasq, are you sure you're not starting it elsewhere, like /etc/rc.local ?

sppmaster · May 13, 2025, 10:17am

But let me check if it's not started by adblock.

Update - Yep, I've disabled adblock and dnsmasq no longer runs after reboot.
I'm not sure this should be so.
@dibdot Any thoughts?

adblock is kind of pointless if you don't run it coupled with a DNS server, don't need dibdot to point it out to you.

sppmaster · May 13, 2025, 10:29am

Yea, agree but I had it in my build and adblock service was disabled and I didn't expect that it would run dnsmasq.

But now I disabled adblock from System -> Startup too.
Thanks for the help.
