Diversion Diversion - the Router Ad-Blocker

[Ubimo]

You can add this domain to your diversion whitelist.

You can add this domain to your diversion whitelist.

Unfortunately this didn't help, it is not the domain itself, I think it uses some Google services to deal with the property pictures.

The problem is b.dmlimg.com as can be seen from your dnsmasq.log

/opt/share/diversion/list/blockinglist b.dmlimg.com is 192.168.50.2

Why it made the block list I do not know, so I do not know the risk involved in whitelisting it.

is there an easy way to remove it from the black list? what do you suggest? to remove it from the black list or to white list it?

Edit: White listing it seems to work, since the black list file is so huge, no search functionality in diversion to easily delete a domain, I could just edit it but I rather not.

Did you enable Android's Private DNS? That would cause you to completely bypass Diversion.

Disabled...
And on computer the same happens.

Just to clarify, after install and configure Diversion, I just have to simply surf the web, correct? Or do I have to make any special configuration on my terminals (mobile phones, PC, etc..)

You just have to ensure the devices use the router IP as the DNS server. No other DNS servers provided by LAN DHCP Server and no DNSFilter mode besides Router (or disabled).

I have router DNS Filter disabled... Is it correct?

It’s OK as long as all your clients on LAN use the router as DNS. DNS Filter can be enabled with Router mode to force all clients on the LAN to go through router DNS (and also Diversion). This would be in case they try to override the DNS settings or have hardcoded DNS servers (e.g, Google devices).

And if i activate DNS Filter and don't add any client to list, will it force ALL clients? Or i have to manually add all clients on my network to DNS Filter list?

All clients will default to the Global mode. If you need to make an exception for one or more clients (e.g. No Filtering, OpenDNS, etc.) then you would add a client in the client list.

Amazing, it's like Amazon's a one-company ad machine (at least for me)!

Hi,

Since I've installed Diversion and Skynet, I have noticed very little negative (erroneous) impact on my website viewing, with one exception: the Montreal Gazette's website. While not totally crippled, it's getting close. I don't want to play with Whitelists and such without knowing what I'm doing. Does anyone know why this website is being negatively (I assume) impacted by Diversion or Skynet?

It looks like the video's in the middle are broken with Diversion and skynet up.

When I put on my vpn then go back to the site It shows them normally.

on vpn



I would start with whitelisting in Diversion.

 

[AntonK]

I whitelisted montrealgazette.com That had no effect that I can tell.

They rely on ad revenue. Not every site copes well when the ad domains are blocked.
