Diversion Diversion - the Router Ad-Blocker

[dave14305]

I need some help guys.

I just re-enabled Diversion last night using the Minimal+ list and am finding webpages taking a long time to fully load. Chrome shows "Connecting..." on bottom left for up to 30 seconds.

Is pixelserv enabled and running?

Duh. Idiot. It was disabled. All good now. Thanks Dave!

How does pixelserv get disabled? It seems mine was too, but it seemed to be running previously.

I just wanted to promote this amazing hosts list:
dbl.oisd.nl | Internet's #1 domain blocklist
https://dbl.oisd.nl/

Information on this list:
https://www.reddit.com/r/oisd_blocklist/comments/dwxgld/dbloisdnl_internets_1_domain_blocklist/

I was using 28 different lists in diversion since months, always wanting to have the ideal blockling list, but this list includes all you need.
For the very paranoid freaks

Which is the Large blocking list type to choose from in Diversion: https://diversion.ch/diversion/use/blocking-file-hosts-files.html

OMG, thahahaha, you are right, never noticed this. Thanks!
I stumbled upon this list on reddit.

I'm having a weird issue with Diversion.
When I try to go to freedownloadmanager.org, it shows a certificate error (maybe because this domain is being blocked by hosts list). Until there, that's OK, I added this domain to my personal whitelist. However, diversion says that this domain isn't on any hosts file.
I searched the IP for that domain (199.101.132.243) and did a reverse lookup, just to see if it is a shared IP and it's being resolved by any other domain. I found that the domain epicmales.com once used that IP (last resolved date was 2014-11-17), and just to test tried to whitelist that domain too. Guess what, that domain wasn't also listed on none hosts file.

However, as soon as I turn off Diversion, i can access normaly to freedownloadmanager.org.
Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance

Not sure which lists you're using but hosts-file.net currently blocks it for malware.

I see. Its in the "Plus+" lists that I'm using in adition to the regular ones.

However, I've whitelisted it and it's being blocked! Maybe the whitelist rules doesn't apply to the "Plus" hosts?!

It sure does, did you add the www and non-www domain. Also, the browser I currently use warns me to go to that page. And then, check Skynet, maybe that blocks it.

@thelonelycoder
I just reproduced it again.
You have to choose Minimal(+) for the secondary list. After that, it starts showing as Custom!

I'll look into this, thanks.

Best of both worlds: keeping in touch with this wonderful community whilst being in some exotic location. You could send us a photo and see if we guess the location.

Is the diversion style blocklist with multiple domains per line compatible with the latest ubuntu & browsed-systemd hosts file?

 

[dugaduga]

I am expecting it will behave the exact same way as it does on the router... its just difficult to confirm because there is no log file to determine its effectiveness. Even setting debug mode enabled and with a standard one line per domain format I was not seeing any blocks reported

Hello, I have a problem with Large+ blocklist on RT-AC3200. From time to time my router freezes and hits 100% of CPU Usage. Any idea why?

Can you post a Htop or Top screenshot when its hitting high cpu usage?

111 MB RAM for dnsmasq with the Large+ list can be crippling on a 256MB router.
