Diversion Diversion - the Router Ad-Blocker

[Centrifuge]

So, you mounted the USB Drive on your ASUS router to Finder? How did you do that? I can't see it on the Network in Finder. I have mounted about 7 Shares from my NAS okay.

Yes, it's served up by Samba, that's under USB Applications tab in the gui.

It certainly did that for me.

Hi all,

Any idea why my Amazon app errors when searching and loading description when diversion is running?

I tried whitelisting amazon.com but it did a rough search and whitelisted 2800 domains.
I removed all of them and restarted diversion.

Any idea what I need to unblock to allow my app to work?

Good luck. I don't think there is a solution as long as pixelserv-tls is running. There are threads and comments all over the place on Amazon Shopping on Android with pixelserv-tls.

Many have tried, many have failed. IMHO, it's not worth the hassle of figuring out what you need to unblock, there's way too many of them and IIRC, new ones keep popping up anyways, resulting in a never-ending game of whack-a-mole.

Yep, same thing on my Pixel 3. I have tested using only Diversion Lite and it works fine.

Solution: Disable pixelserv-tls or make a bookmark for smile.amazon.com on your home screen (that's what I did).

Question does disabling pixelsrv tls let ads show or will diversion still work?
How do I go about doing that?

Diversion will still block all the same ads, but not as fast as when running pixelserv-tls.

Diversion > ep > disable

Here you go guys, I've made simple one-liners to update your Pixelserv-tls version to v2.3.1 until Entware dont push the official update.

Simply paste these big one liners in terminal as per your router architecture ( if you're not sure about it run "uname -m" command in terminal.

For AARCH64 routers:

diversion disable && cd /opt/bin && wget -O Pixelserv.zip https://github.com/kvic-z/pixelserv-tls/releases/download/v2.3.1/pixelserv-tls.2.3.1.Entware-3.x.aarch64softfloat.zip && opkg install p7zip && 7za e Pixelserv.zip *.dynamic -r && rm pixelserv-tls && mv pixelserv-tls.armv8.ent.performance.dynamic pixelserv-tls && chmod +x pixelserv-tls && rm Pixelserv.zip && opkg remove p7zip && cd -- && diversion enable

For ARMv7 routers:

diversion disable && cd /opt/bin && wget -O Pixelserv.zip https://github.com/kvic-z/pixelserv-tls/releases/download/v2.3.1/pixelserv-tls.2.3.1.Entware-ng.armv7softfloat.zip && opkg install p7zip && 7za e Pixelserv.zip *.dynamic -r && rm pixelserv-tls && mv pixelserv-tls.arm.ent.performance.dynamic pixelserv-tls && chmod +x pixelserv-tls && rm Pixelserv.zip && opkg remove p7zip && cd -- && diversion enable

In case you are coming from Pixelserv-tls v2.2.1 or below then you'll need to purge your domain certificates by opening Diversion > ep > 3 > 1 > 1

P.s I've only tried this on aarch64 but basic algorithm remains same for both architectures so it should work.

I made one small adjustment to only stop Pixelserv, but worked on the AC68U (armv7). I didn't know we could "cheat" and install a new zip package on the fly.

Yeah both ways to stop Pixelserv-tls will work, I've just used the Diversion way because it was smaller to write in an already big one-liner lol.

Hi all,

I tried whitelisting amazon.com but it did a rough search and whitelisted 2800 domains.
I removed all of them and restarted diversion.

Any idea what I need to unblock to allow my app to work?

I got my app to work by following dnsmasq.log in Diversion, and whitelisting all the Amazon-related domains that showed up as blocked. Besides the automatically-whitelisted domains in Diversion, here's what I added.

I could yeah because I know you as a respectable coder of this Asuswrt-Merlin world but a new user might not trust a third-party and will prefer the work of the original coder. In any case, the one-liners are just to make it easier for non-technical users and it's up to them if they want to use it or your builds or just wait for Entware update.

@Asad Ali, thank you!

Your 'big one-liner' worked flawlessly on my RT-AX88U running the 384.15 Jan 14 Alpha build.

Alright, I hear you all.
I've just pushed a Diversion update, no version change

What's new
- Option in ep, 6, 3 to update pixelserv-tls to v2.3.1 (@Jack Yaz version) for all router models.

Use u to update.

Is there any difference in JackYaz(Generic) /pattern/2.3.1 v.s. the Original /pattern/ 2.3.1 ?
Are the fillers any different?

Has JackYaz included some secret new on-the-fly Features?
