Setup an OpenVPN server on your router, and always connect to it from your mobile devices, that way you can benefit from Diversion "anywhere".

This is what many do, including me.

What browser are you watching youtube videos from. Also are you using any custom dns settings in these browsers which might be diverting you away from using diversion?

chrome and Panasonic TV - not that I know of but I was originally using Unbound as the primary DNS for ALL LAN Clients. But not now since I can switch easily between Unbound and dnsmasq-

OK, this case I have not covered. But this should work and will reset the Dnsmasq logs. So if you have stats enabled = too bad.
In d select "7. Reset Diversion ads counter or logs" and then reset Dnsmasq log files.
Browse some YT videos and then run b,8,2 again. I'm crossing fingers.

I have an idea how to do the Recheck without nuking the dnsmasq log files.

Jack Yaz · May 9, 2020

The first time I pressed "recheck YouTube ips" i saw a message along the lines of "sed unmatched /" but I couldn't scrollback to see it from my Android SSH client. Subsequent re-runs of the option do not produce the message. Not sure if any harm caused by it!

Yes I think I had same message when the IP address changed to the correct one.

I see, have to escape things. Thought that would work. Is the YT IP shown valid?

Hm, there's several shown. They look valid

Does one have to escape the ":"s in IPv6 addresses when using sed?
I do it with the dots now for IPv4, but IPv6?

I see, and why. How can I get dig to only show one. Or I'd have to use awk to only print first result.
I only get one IP returned here, never seen two or more.
