adblock protection is working per dnsmasq instance (and not per interface!) ... to add adblock to multiple instances just edit /etc/config/dhcp and add this option to one or more dnsmasq instances:

option serversfile '/tmp/adb_list.overall'

hi
what kind of changes to be done /etc/config/dhcp ?
Also ,when you say adblock is working per dnsmasq instance, does that means it will either work for 0/1 or will work for both 0 and 1 instances together with different rules set.
please clarify...
regards

Look here: https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/base-system/dhcp_configuration and search for " Multiple DHCP/DNS server/forwarder instances", each instance need the above posted option to reference the adblock file.

If you need different adblock rule sets per instance, then you need a second adblock config plus additional scripting (to switch your config before adblock processing). In the second adblock config you should set/change at least the following adblock options:

option adb_dnsinstance '1' # '1' for the second dnsmasq instance ('0' is the default')
option adb_dnsprefix 'adb_list2'

Got this configuration, need to work on it.Thanks a lot.
But possible to run both adblock instances 0 and 1 simultaneously ?

hi..
Just a thought

  • if we get two adblock packages with different names.
  • multiple dnsmasq
    will this work simaltaneously with different sets of rules to block the sites and Ads.
    please, help

regards

Could you elaborate a bit more on 'additional scripting (to switch your config before adblock processing)' ?

I am also trying to setup adblock on OpenWrt for 2 different DNSMasq instances.
Can get it working on both DNSMasq instances with the option adb_dnsinstance '1' in a second adblock config block (in etc/config/adblock) but using different settings or rules don't apply correctly.

My interpretation suggested this should create 2 adb_list.overall files in tmp/dnsmasq.d but this doesn't happen...it's either one or the other?

I figure it's not possible to have 2 different sets of adblock configs applied to 2 different DNSMasq instances?

@dibdot Could you provide some guidelines as to how one would setup/script the adblock config file to provide 2 different sets of dnsmasq.
Setting up 2 different dnsmasq instances is not a problem but I am still strugling how to configure the adblock side.
