Diversion Diversion - the Router Ad-Blocker

[SomeWhereOverTheRainBow]

my process list option for some reason hangs and never completes.
**edit ** Never mind it completed just now after about 5 minutes.

Then you've got something in the wrong place. Post screenshots of your WAN DNS settings, LAN DHCP Server DNS settings and LAN DNSFilter settings.

Settings look good. What browsers/machines show ads? Have they renewed their DHCP leases? Try putting them in airplane mode or unplugging the network cable temporarily to force a DHCP renew. Make sure any browsers aren’t auto-enabling DNS-over-HTTPS.

I've used my fire stick to test it before It never showed any ads now it always shows ads

Today I had to turn off YT ad-blocking. The YouTube app on our iPhones/iPads completely failed. It was like the app had a seizure (flickering black video screen). The YT list included 321 entries and after turning ad-blocking off the YouTube app worked again. Never had any issues on the SmartTV, Roku app and Android phones. To fix the problem all I had to do is a reset (option 2) now it works again. I don't know if a certain googlevideo domain caused this issue or something else. Just wanted to let you know if anyone else experiences this problem.

I'm not experiencing your issue. But, I don't fully understand how Diversion is picking up data to block YT ads; how often it's updating the blocking list (i.e. why I'm seeing the same Epoch Times ad over different videos and separated by hours of time, and is there anything I can do to hasten the YT blocking feature's effectiveness. The fact that I don't understand the previous is, of course, no statement on the effectiveness of the feature or the efforts of the code's author. I'm just saying...

Youtube had a slight hick-up today for a few minutes and it went down almost all over the world, I believe what you experienced was just due to that.

Anyone knows how to whitelist the amazon app? Can't use it whatsoever, any section shows an error.

I had to WL the following. There may be more. Choose option "f" in Diversion to trace the blacklisted domains if it occurs again.

device-metrics-us.amazon.com
c.amazon-adsystem.com
fls-na.amazon.com - for UK, you may have to chg this to fls-eu.amazon.com or need both
aan.amazon.com

Thank you so much that did the trick!

I've found that every few weeks the Amazon app on phone stops working and I need to follow the blocking log to see what new domain is causing the issue. I've got about a dozen that I've had to add myself to get it working.

I tried to WL these in the past and after a few days I was still have issues with the Amazon app. Gave up and disabled pixelserv.

Once in a while it happens to me as well ... I only refresh Diversion install or update it - as most of the times an update is necessary.
After that everything works ok ... I never WL any addresses.

Diversion statistics says that my #1 blocked domain is my LAN printer ... which shows as <printername>.lan

My LAN printer is a Brother, and is connected to the network via WiFi. It doesn't exist on any block list. How is it getting picked up by Diversion (or - can anyone tell me where to look? I already checked dnsmasq.log and I couldn't find anything relevant IMO?)

that was happening to me too. it was the highest blocked domain, but then the report didn't mentioned it again, when listing the noisiest clients. so it didn't tell me where it came from.
this lasted for a week and then corrected itself. no clue why it started, or why it stopped,

Does your printer LAN IP resemble your Pixelserv IP just with extra digits? 192.168.1.20 and 192.168.1.2?

in my case, yes 192.168.50.2 vs 192.168.50.208

Perhaps @thelonelycoder can review to ensure he searches for psIP only at end of line in stats.div.

Good ol' Dave to the rescue! Did you find a bug?

Yes, my printer is: 192.168.0.205

My Pixelserv-TLS IP address is: 192.168.0.2
