I’m planning on installing adblock on my openwrt router. This router is my main router and connected to my modem so I don’t want to mess anything up. Will I need to download adblock and simple adblock? And after doing that do I just go to service and turn them on and that’s it? If there’s any steps I’ve missed on doing this please let me know ---

Really... > [@Ike](#): > > This router is my main router and connected to my modem - I would just try WAN if you don't know how you setup your router Also, you could ask ask in the support thread. > [@Ike](#): > > My wifi is on lan firewall zone ??? 🤦‍♂️ It usually is by default...but I asked asking about your Internet connection/reaching DNS servers... ---
