    Diversion Diversion 5.4.9 - the Router Ad-Blocker, February 14, 2026

    Solved: Skynet is now starting correctly after router reboot Problem: Skynet would complain about no swap despite Entware USB being mounted and the swap file having been there since 2020. If I restarted Skynet, everything would be fine. I think this had been going on for several weeks to...

    StevenBlack blocklist for diversion

    Here are the generally recommended Diversion blocklists. There is a lot of overlap between the first and second list. It would be OK to use just one of the two. If you use both, Diversion will handle removal of duplicates from the consolidated list. The third list is late breaking security...

    YazDHCP YazDHCP v1.2.4 [2025-Nov-21] - Feature expansion of DHCP assignments (increasing limit on the number of DHCP reservations)

    I found reading or editing of these nvram entries tedious. So I used the following script to check the entries for accuracy, consistency and typographical errors. echo "" nvram get custom_clientlist | tr '<' '\n' | tr '>' '\t' | sort -u nvram get dhcp_staticlist | tr '<' '\n' | tr '>' '\t' |...

    Correct DNS settings???

    If you want to continue redirecting one device to familyshield.sse.cisco.com DNS, then DNS for that device will not flow through Diversion.

    Correct DNS settings???

    DNS Director by default redirects to your router's DNS which includes Diversion. The redirect entry for DesktopStandpc is redundant and I don't know how it behaves. I would remove it.

    Correct DNS settings???

    Verify whether you can lookup these DNS addresses: _dns.resolver.arpa mask.icloud.com mask-h2.icloud.com use-application-dns.net You want these lookups to not return IP addresses so as to signal iOS, MacOS and Firefox not to circumvent router DNS.

    Correct DNS settings???

    Browse https://on.quad9.net/ from a device that is not one of your 2 exceptions. Countermeasures to router DNS circumvention are device/browser dependent, so provide this info if the answer from Quad9 is "NO".

    Skynet Skynet v8 - Router Firewall & Security Enhancements

    I am seeing the same thing, but with uiDivStats rather than Skynet. The Brave browser F12 Console errors are: user8.asp:51 Uncaught ReferenceError: comma is not defined at n.label (user8.asp:51:4481) at chart.js:7:93178 at Object.each (chart.js:7:27348) at n.getBody...

    wlcsm_create_nl_socket binding netlink socket error

    The CheckStuckProcCmds.sh script did not catch anything for 2 weeks. The dhcpc_lease script was hanging a few times a day but my wrapper script was handling them successfully with just a kill -HUP. =====================================================================...

    Question on unknown network device.

    If you are an advanced user, you may want to look through a capture for clues: tcpdump -i wl3.1 ether host BC:10:2F:43:A3:BD -v
