Diversion Diversion 5.1.2 - the Router Ad-Blocker, April 21, 2024

[martinr]

I used to come to Detroit a lot when I was working for another Company. There used to be plenty of car plants that used the systems we built.
With my now employer the closest system to you is over in Grand Rapids. I have never seen so many rusted out and see-through cars as in that area.

I'll be vacationing in the southwestern deserts if you look for me. As I always do.

I’m sure I’ll just be one of many wishing you a lovely vacation and asking if you’ll post us the odd photo, as you did a few years back. Five, six years, was it?

I'll make it memorable.

Good news at the Dnsmasq v2.90 front for Diversion users: There is light at the horizon - I tested what I could and the fix appears to work.

I need to do some more testing with pre-2.90 Dnsmasq versions, they don't quite behave as they should with the fix. I may have to build in a switch that applies old and new Dnsmasq versions. But first:

Visions of Dnsmasq in his dreams...

Dave an I sitting in an English pub, chatting with Simon Kelley about the old days. All gray haired and with beards.
I‘m having a pint of Guiness.

 

[visortgw]

Only one pint?!?

 

[Ripshod]

Only one pint?!?

Per pub?

 

[Viktor Jaep]

Per pub?

Hold my beer!

Awesome! Thanks for the super quick fix. Just re-installed 388.6.2 and all seems to be working fine again.

Updated Diversion to 5.1.1 and enabled "exclude devices from ad-blocking" and Dnsmasq restarted without failure on AC-1900P using 386.12_6. Great work. Thanks.

I am confused too...

Start from scratch by:
1. Remove Device in DNS Director Client list. Make sure it can again connect to the web.
- done and works
2. In Diversion enter 1233 and confirm to do so, I uploaded a small change that also removes the resolver file when removing.
- could not find 1223 (options are alphabet) but did force an update
3. Remove the feature in b, 5
- done
4. Remove blocking list fast switch feature in b, 1, 3
- done

Then Start new:
1. Enable blocking list fast switch feature in b, 1, 3
- done
2. Enable the alternate blocking list in b, 5, enter the reserved IP address
- done
3. In DNS Director add reserved IP to User defined DNS 1
- done
4. Add device to the Client list and set User defined DNS 1, click Apply
- device was already in manually assigned client list, but had had missed modifying the DNS
5. Test if device has internet access and follow the log file for the alternate blocking list.
- all good
6. If all goes well, add google DNS to b, 5, 4
- jumped to 8
7. Test if device still has access, if so
8. Change google to cloudfare 1.1.1.1 server and if it works now, add the IPv6 IP 2606:4700:4700::1111 as well.

HUGE MISTAKE!!!

Got too keen, missed out 6 - jumped to 8, for about a minute all seemed good, then when browsing to a new site on .118 lost all connectivity to the router from all devices - the last message in the SSH window


The Router ignored all attempts at soft and hard reboots - eventually had to do a factory reset and then reloaded a backup from Sunday - thank you @Viktor Jaep for Backupmon - before I started adding the alternate list settings - and 3hr 40mins later - everything is finally back up. I will leave trying again until the weekend and when everyone else is out or at least not connected.

Updated to 5.1.1, added alternate block list, assigned the device and all is well. Many thanks . Archiel

I just updated to Diversion 5.1.1 also and re-enabled "exclude devices from ad-blocking" on AX88U 388.6.2. Working great!!
Many thanks

same !!

 

[BOFH]

Working as expected. Thanks @thelonelycoder

This might be another problem unrelated to Diversion.
A vanilla Diversion installation does not have a problem with Dnsmasq v2.9x.
Only if you use options b, 5|6|7. They start a separate Dnsmasq instance and that throws the error.

It has crossed my mind but today I found that it wad something to do with it.

problem solved , completely uninstall diversion, reboot the GT-60000, install 3004.388.6_2, reinstall latest version of diversion 5.1.1 that was released this morning.

everything looks good so far

Successful upgrade to Diversion 5.1.1 - thank you @thelonelycoder

I see you like the dark theme and name devices by the disk size. I do the same.

I tested Diversion on this website and it showed 66% of ads blocked. Is it more or less correct? Thank you!

It’s not diversion, what Adblock lists are you using vs what is that site checking against
