Its too broken, blocking everything.... edge updates, snbforums. had to disable it to post here. how do I revert to the previous diversion? I have backed up my jffs prior to the update, should restoring be enough?

There is no way to go back to Diversion 4.x.

Use one of the predefined blocking lists, the Standard or Large are ideal for Diversion 5.x because they are designed for its type of blocking. These two lists are VERY well curated, whitelisting is almost never necessary on those two.
 
but snbforums is not in any list, except the hardcoded whitelist. searching just for the exact string "snbforums", it is not in any .conf list... dnsmasq is picking up ghost entries. care to explain?

is there a manual command that can be used to pull the previous version from github or another third party site?

SNBForums is not blocked, why would it be?

Nope, just wait until I release an update.

Okay fine, i'll adapt :) I'm going through my ancient lists only to find many of these haven't even been updated in 7 years. Perhaps thinning out my conservative 43 lists will prevent dnsmasq from hallucinating.

using the ones you suggested + hegazi did fix the problem.

lol, yes exactly... it was being blocked even though it was not in any list except the hardcoded white list...

NOT through Diversion, it is permanently whitelisted among other necessary domains for amtm, Diversion and third party scripts in amtm to work.
Check your ISP modem or DNS resolver.

Make sure the hagezi list is in Dnsmasq 2.86+ format, it is listed as "DNSMasq (v2.86 or newer), adblock-lean, Diversion (v5 or newer)"

That is insane. Overkill in truest meaning of the word.
The big https://oisd.nl/ list which is the Large selection in Diversion is more than anyone ever would have to block.

I plan on releasing the update today.

Yeah... diversion whitelists it... dnsmasq was still blocking it, along with many that were not in any blocklist (like duckduckgo.com), they were not in the final .conf blocklist file... but for whatever reason the problem went away after I shrunk the lists down from 43 to 11, so seems to be some kind of bug, perhaps in dnsmasq. I checked upstream services, it was a dnsmasq issue. Ram was not maxed out (173/250), using ac66 b1.


If you want to try recreate the issue, here was the list I used... though I did modify it slightly since.

Well, I was able to prove my new methods of verifying usable lists. You need to better curate or select your lists.
So, thanks for the above list :)
Code: 
 downloading Large blocking list, 41 file(s)
 omitting 1 duplicate(s):
https://hostfiles.frogeye.fr/firstparty-trackers-hosts.txt
... a while later ....
 updated Large blocking list from 39 valid file(s) (2 non-valid file(s)),
 1431202 domains are now blocked by Diversion

And for me, "Tender Loving Care" — exactly what goes into every one of @thelonelycoder's releases! ;)
