    AB-Solution 1.07 is out!

    Just to be clear using a VPN disables the ad blocking? In my case I have some networked clients going down a VPN using selective policy routing over OpenVpn (also using 8.8.8.8 via DNS filtering). They do get ads. In parallel I have clients not using the VPN who retain the ad blocked status.

    AB-Solution 1.06 is out!

    A combination of router reboot and switching on/off logging has made the issue go away for now. Should I have this in the hosts-adblock - 0.0.0.0 localhost Sorry if this is a silly question.

    AB-Solution 1.06 is out!

    [Test builds] 380.58 alpha builds are now available

    Been having the same issue here. It appears myself and the OP use the same VPN provider - StrongVPN or reliablehosting. My push command is Mar 18 12:20:53 openvpn[1142]: PUSH: Received control message: 'PUSH_REPLY,dhcp-option DNS 202.14.67.4,dhcp-option DNS 202.14.67.14,ping 1,ping-restart...

    Help with StrongVPN configuration

    Thanks for the pointer but that doesn't seem to be it. The tomato setup referred to earlier in the thread uses 4 keys and suggests that they are included in ovpn file from Strongvpn. Well my OVPN file only contains 2 keys a static key and ca cert. I've tried two different servers and both only...

    Websites believe I am using a proxy/VPN (factory & Merlin) on N66U

    Hard to believe I know but.. "We won't see any bump in this quarter's number from the 130 new countries in which Netflix is now available, as that announcement came after the end of the fourth quarter of 2015. Many of those countries may also prove to be priced out of Netflix for now, as the...

    Websites believe I am using a proxy/VPN (factory & Merlin) on N66U

    Well I've got a DNS proxy service and PPTP VPN and I can't get back to US catalogue. I've tried some of the so called 'fixed' services too and nothing works. I suspect Netflix is building meta data to locate you and then profiling your account. They seem to have me pinned down pretty good...

    Custom Script for StrongDNS Ip Update on Reboot

    Yeah got something like the above working but it was continually updating my IP address to StrongDNS every 30 secs or so. Also had to enable the script by switching on Custom DDNS in router setup. In the end I've settled on a wan-start script instead. #!/bin/sh logger -t $(basename $0)...

    Custom Script for StrongDNS Ip Update on Reboot

    I use a DNS service that requires me to update my IP address every time my router reboots and I get assigned a new IP. I am given a specific identifier in the format of - "https://strongdns.com/ipupdater/***Unique Key***" Now I can do this manually.. but would like to add a custom command to...
