You bought a Mercedes and degraded it to a VW, only to pimp it up to be an Audi with a Mercedes badge?
Good luck.

Amen!

Unless I drop dead, external testing for v2.1 starts later in the day thursday, my time.

Do i have to install entware prior to ab installation?

No, unless you want pixelserv-tls too.

 

[thelonelycoder]

No, unless you want pixelserv-tls too.

Entware with or without pixelserv-tls can previously be installed.
And any other Entware packages you may use, it won't touch them.

As long as Entware is running, AB-Solution will handle all cases.
If Entware is not running and jffs and other file fragments are found, it will ask you to investigate and correct it first.

AB-Solution will be 21 soon, it's allowed to make it's own decisions.
AB-Solution is allowed to buy a drink or a beer legally in the US then.

It's creator is far older than that and spends a good amount of the allotted holidays in the US.

Can anyone give me an explanation on what entware and pixelserv do differently than the adblocking that's already used in version 2.0? What's the advantage?

Blocking of https: ads.

Without pixelserv, the page will ordinarily show a small broken box for a "not found" where the ad would be. With pixelserv, a single pixel is returned, so those broken boxes disappear. It presents a cleaner page. Pixelserv-tls adds the ability to intercept an ad served up as an https call--it generates a certificate, unless one already exists. It also has a page of statistics.

As with most 21 year olds (hehe), the decisions made may not necessarily be the best ones

Good thing it has us to watch over AB as it grows up.

She's a girl!

Is she now?
I should know, I'm under the hood of "her" all the time.

BTW, I'm having a hard time implementing the "For your eyes only" email function. It may not be ready when v2.1 comes out.
Would you mind PMing me your provider? Thanks.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but even without pixelserv-tls https ads would still be blocked, just no single pixel returned, right?

Wrong, https ads don't get blocked by a standalone AB-Solution installation.

...and in a parallel universe not far from here, a member of this fine board offered these words:

The ease in which I was able able to install entware and pixelserv was truly worth waiting for! The checking in the background appears to make certain that all cases are considered before proceeding.

Testing for v2.1 is truly well under way.

Meals on wheels it is then.

I'm not good with Linux and I don't want to fail with pixelserv so I'm thinking to redirect to an IP with one pixel page. It will work in this way? I'm asking because I didn't found yet that page.
