    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 380.61 is now available

    OK, so the code isn't rolling back, your setup is now broken, the situation isn't going to change, and you keep beating the dead horse with an uninviting attitude/demeanor. What do you want now? A public apology?

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 380.61 is now available

    And if you hate it so much, you can totally download the GPL source code on your own, remove the restriction and compile it on your own, to whatever the heck you want.

    AdBlocking with combined hosts file

    right now I'm testing a new script of my own. in it i'm generating the entries in dnsmasq.conf format and at the end i do a cat /tmp/temphost >> /etc/dnsmasq.conf (i'm only using the entries from pgl.yoyo.org and www.malwaredomainlist.com, as the other 3 are like the expanded version of...

    AdBlocking with combined hosts file

    no I was referring to the hosts.blocked file. if you look at the entries from those 5 different sites in the script, the ones from mvps.org, someonewhocares.org and hosts-file.net contains all kinds of variants for each domain: 0.0.0.0 ad.ae.doubleclick.net 0.0.0.0 ad.ar.doubleclick.net...

    AdBlocking with combined hosts file

    the problem then becomes those files become unnecessarily huge, as the alternative address=/<domain>/0.0.0.0 can handle the entire domain. i'm curious which way is faster, processing-power-wise (i.e., domain suffix matching vs going through tons of entries).

    AdBlocking with combined hosts file

    Something rather weird. Not sure if it's new with .56 or it has been like this since day #1. For example, say your hosts.blocked has only 1 entry in it: 0.0.0.0 doubleclick.net Now if you try to ping doubleclick.net, it returns 0.0.0.0 as expected. But if you try to ping...

    AdBlocking with combined hosts file

    Yeah. It's definitely going to take more time to create the hosts.blocked file, but I think 3 mins or so once every week is OK. However the bigger concern that I have is, would a big hosts.blocked file impact throughput. One thing that I'm not sure if how efficient dnsmasq comes up with the...

    AdBlocking with combined hosts file

    Thanks for the scripts! I modified the "advanced" one as follow (AC68): 1) Put the content in wan-start, instead of service-start (which didn't work for me for some reason) 2) Never installed entware, therefore removed the "/opt/etc/init.d/rc.unslung start" line and modified all the...

    Adblocking

    It wouldn't be this "easy" if Android weren't a full-blown OS that comes with all kinds of application stacks and APIs. Of course, feel free to port Android onto any router of your choice, it would be this easy!

    services-start not starting

    are you sure it's the case of services-start not getting executed, versus your mount command actually failed at the time when services-start runs? the reason being, at the time services-start runs, how do you so sure 192.168.1.10 is already connected and reachable (even if it's hardwired and...

    Wireless Webcam for Merlin

    dedicated wifi ip cameras are really not that expensive nowadays and they work pretty well. there's really no reason why one would bother running an USB webcam off the router

    Anyway to definitively test for firmware upgrade issues?

    think of it this way. after you upgrade firmware and factory reset, it's going to behave just like you buy the router in store. now, after you bought it home and set it up for the 1st time, is there "any way to check for potential problems"? the answer is no other than "use it". the same...
