I don't have OpenSSL installed. But wanting to install simple-adblock, one of the dependencies is OpenSSL. And it seems to me that it is because of wget-ssl.
Can you post more details about your OpenWrt build and ideally the output of opkg list-installed?
simple adblock blocking Twitter's link service (http://t.co) urls.
DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN
without simple adblock running urls work fine.
simple-adblock by itself doesn't block anything, it downloads the domains/addresses from the lists you select/add and lets dnsmasq use that for blocking.
I'm currently using the final block list which has about 370k entries, and it does NOT block t.co.
You can either:
- explicitly white-list t.co so even if it's in some of the block-lists you use it will be removed from blocking
- find out which block-list has that entry and stop using that block-list

Thank you for suggesting and finally I figured out how to white-list it and now it is working thank you again

i am receiving this message but nothing is wrong!
what should i do?
unninstall and reinstall from command line ? (it is not possible throug gui/luci isn't it?)
Reinstalling won't help. It may be an issue with the code for the luci app, I do have a fix in my own repo, if you could follow the steps to add my repo to your router and then install luci-app-simple-adblock version 1.8.8-3 let me know if the issue is fixed.

do i need to worry about that failed signature check ?
this is what i get when i search without AND with the sugggested repo added:
1.8.8-3 does not come up... or should i look tthe package from cli ?
Thank You
You need to install SSL support for uclient-fetch/wget as my repo is only accessible thru https, not http.
You can also install the ipk file directly.
New in simple-adblock: 1.8.8-4: the allow command-line parameter allows to unblock domain(s) in the current block-list and save domain(s) in the config file as allowed domain(s). Helpful if you're getting DNS resolution errors from your browser and want to quickly allow the blocked domain.
I'd appreciate some feedback (especially if you're using dnsmasq.ipset option) over the next week or so before I submit PR/merge update into official OpenWrt repo.
There's no WebUI for this (only CLI), the WebUI for this will not be implemented until I (or someone else) transition the WebUI code from lua to Javascript.
Hello,
Adblock is not working for me as I'm getting error daemon.err dnsmasq[1]: failed to load names from /var/run/simple-adblock/dnsmasq.addnhosts: No such file or directory after upgrading to latest stable OpenWrt 22.03
I've tried couple of different settings but nothing helped. If I manually restart dnsmasq it will work as expected and ad will be blocked. But it still fails with the error on router boot and ad is not blocked in this case
Any idea what the issue might be?
Does simple-adblock actually create non-empty files in question?
Yes the generated file is not empty and if I restart dnsmasq by hand any ad from list will be blocked
Have you tried increasing the simple-adblock boot_delay option?
I've tried to increase boot_delay to 5 minutes, but the problem is still here.

So there are no entries from dnsmasq immediately below this? Do you feel comfortable editing 2 lines of the init file on the router to test something?
Yeah, no more logs after this and I'm ready to test any config edits
