How to add "DNS Query report" tab to Adblock on OpenWrt

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hello everyone,

Does anyone know how to add the " DNS Query report" tab to Adblock page on openwrt web interface?

I installed adblock 3.5.5-3 from "software" and configured it but I cannot get " DNS Query report" tab to show. I installed tcpdump and tcpdump-mini and restarted the router but that tab is still not showing. What am I missing?

Also, I was reading on forums that people installed later versions of Adblock so I was wondering how were they able to install a later version when the one I mentioned above shows up as the latest version when I search for adblock under System -> Software.

Thanks in advance

I wasn't even aware Adblock had that function, so i don't have an answer unfortunately, but you might try asking in the Adblock support thread, probably more likely to get an answer there.

Reporting is currently only available in snapshots and in forthcoming stable 19.07 ...to get it in 18.06 do the following:

  1. ssh to your router
  2. cd /tmp
  3. download latest adblock snapshot releases (core & luci) to your router, e.g. with uclient-fetch
  4. install both packages with opkg, e.g. opkg install adblock_3.8.12-1_all.ipk --force-maintainer (the latter flag updates/overwrites your current adblock config as well)

That's it basically. Please note that the reporting feature need the additional package tcpdump-mini as well.

Edit: you'll find the donwload links in the first post of the already referenced adblock support thread.

Hope this helps!

Thanks @dibdot

Just to make sure I understood your steps correctly, can you please let me know if the following is correct?

  1. I will use this link that was referenced in @mike comment above:
    Adblock support thread

  2. Then from that link I will download " adblock_3.8.12-1_all.ipk"

  3. Now this is the part that is not clear to me. In the same link from #1, there is a link in the first post for " luci companion package"

What is not clear to me is what are the names of the other additional packages that I need to download and install in addition to the one I mentioned in #2

  1. Is there any difference between tcpdump and tcpdump-mini?

Thanks in advance for your help

Hello friends, I have a problem with some pages in particular, for example:

The page does not load correctly almost any image, if I analyze the code and see the SRC, for example:

img src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 3 2'%3E%3C/svg%3E" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-559303" data-src="**https://www.adslzone.net/app/uploads-adslzone.net/2020/05/raspberry-pi-4-b-8-gb.jpg**" alt="raspberry pi 4 b 8 gb" width="1200" height="664"

If I copy the source code to another tab, I can access the image without problems. I have the domain whitelisted.

if I deactivate adblock everything works again.

any ideas?
