Yes. According to my system logs and kernel logs, the filesystem on the USB flash drive is mounted way before the network interfaces are enabled.
Voila: https://github.com/stangri/source.openwrt.melmac.net/commit/18db2e78cc73725453178edf59947f39c5884a90
IPKs are available from my repo. Make sure to update both principal and luci app!
PS. Apparently readlink doesn't sanitize as well as I thought it does, I'll have to rewrite a piece of code.

That (successful start with 0 domains blocked from your screenshot) is definitely an unexpected behaviour given your config file. Are there still logs about how it happened (logread -e simple-adblock)?
Does stop/start from WebUI work? Does restart (or service simple-adblock dl) work from the command line?
The logs are gone as I had to reboot the device. The service simple-adblock dl command works fine from the command line, but the stop/start feature from the WebUI doesn't seem to be working.
If it happens again, I'll make sure to run the logread -e simple-adblock command.
I'd like to have it tested for a bit before merging changes to OpenWrt packages. Have you tested the latest version?
Hi, i'm new to simple-adblock...
i want to block access to some websites like facebook and youtube.
but dont know how... need help
I'm facing this same issue. If I restart my device, I have to run service simple-adblock dl over SSH, as clicking on the force redownload button in LuCI does nothing for me.
Log entries look something like this from logread -e simple-adblock:

I'm on the road for a bit, but when I can have a look at it, those "bad addresses" examples would definitely help.
Looking again at system logs, the errors seem to occur for each line in the servers config file?

And having manually tinkered with dnsmasq before, it doesn't even look like invalid syntax at all to me so I am very confused by the error spam I'm seeing in logs.
If possible try adguardhome package oisd and other user filters are working with no errors
Does simple-adblock store its blocklists entirely in RAM? I want to update the blocklists three times daily by using this cronjob: 0 6,12,18 * * * /etc/init.d/simple-adblock dl. However, I am concerned that such frequent updates may cause excessive wear on my router's flash storage, especially when I am using that larger blocklists.
It is my understanding that simple-adblock generates a DNS server configuration file based on the downloaded blocklists. Is the generated DNS server configuration file stored in RAM too?
Hello,
I'm trying to use the HAGEZI block lists, and he has several lists and different formats, I'm using the hostnames lists although he has dnsmasq lists, should I stay with the hostnames?
also I notice one his light list is 621845 host and when it loads in my client only loads 114614 domains (with dnsmasq.servers). I added more time to the download "60" secs but is there any way to load them?
Everything looks valid to me, I have no idea why dnsmasq is complaining. Which version of dnsmasq is that?
There's an option to store compressed cache in a user-selected directory. Everything else is stored in RAM.
Domains list is the best. Dnsmasq lists are good if you only want to use that one list and nothing else.
After download, simple-adblock optimizes the list by removing the unneeded 3rd/4th level domains when using compatible dnsmasq option.
More details are in README for all questions answered here (except the first one).

I'm running version 2.86, as per:
~# dnsmasq --version
Dnsmasq version 2.86 Copyright (c) 2000-2021 Simon Kelley
Compile time options: IPv6 GNU-getopt no-DBus UBus no-i18n no-IDN DHCP no-DHCPv6 no-Lua TFTP no-conntrack no-ipset no-auth no-cryptohash no-DNSSEC no-ID loop-detect inotify dumpfile
As far as I'm aware that's the latest version, at least for me on OpenWrt 22.03.3.
I've been using a more recent dnsmasq because I need the nft sets suppport, so I can't test 2.86, but I've had simple-adblock redownload the lists I use and I haven't had dnsmasq complain.
The message comes from trying to read a hosts file with an invalid IPv4 or IPv6 address. This format needs to be considered a conf file instead of a hosts file.
