Hi,
Are these little semi-translucent ads handled by Diversion's YouTube ad blocking capabilities (see attached)?

ThanksThe feature is called YT video ads...
VPN into your home’s secure router when off your wifi. I’m not even out of the driveway when my phone flips it on.
I get that, but it seems a bit excessive, when (Android users) can just install Vanced. I am not saying Diversion blocking YT ads isn't a good thing, only that it will have no impact on Vanced, they are in entirely different ballparks.
I'm guessing that @heysoundude is turning on their vpn when they leave their house mainly for general ad blocking when they are not at home as well as security if they connect to a public hotspot. The blocking of YouTube ads is just icing on the cake.

I wonder why a reboot of the PC would have any effect? Any ideas?YT Ad blocking topic...after enabling the function in Diversion, what's the learning required? Been using YT (not signed in as a user) for last 4-5 hours, Ads still appearing after each or second music video? Technical setup RT-AX88U on 384.18 alpha 1, Diversion 4.1.12, Skynet, Unbound etc.
| Tried closing & opening Firefox browser, which as per 'Security & Privacy' setting would flush cache didn't help. After I rebooted my desktop, now the YT Ads slowly being blocked. Within an hour of playing music videos, none. This function is really cool!! Thks, yippee...

Thanks.It probably cleared the local DNS cache.

Thanks.
It's because John's fork logs every cron execution.After enabling YouTube ads blocking feature, my system log is filled with this message:

And here's is the Diversion overview:
![]()
Is that because "Default router message log level" is set to "Info" on my side?
You can also experiment with increasing the loglevel to 9 (like merlin and see if it helps).After enabling YouTube ads blocking feature, my system log is filled with this message:
nvram set cron_loglevel=9
nvram commit
service restart_crond
You should be putting 9.9.9.9 under the WAN DNS settings, not the LAN DHCP DNS settings (those should be empty), then Diversion will work fine with any upstream DNS provider.Is there any way to get Diversion working while having a different DNS such as 9.9.9.9? I dont want my providers DNS if i change it i start to see ads again.

I did the same steps just with 9.9.9.9 and nothing.https://diversion.ch/faq-reader/how-to-use-an-upstream-dns-server-like-8-8-8-8-from-google.html
Just change 8.8.8.8 to 9.9.9.9
