does this line keeps pinging even when WAN is on....??
until ping -c 1 -w 10 &> /dev/null cloudflare.com; do sleep 110; done
instead I usually extend adblocker sleep time in startup script as it's placed in the custom section, so it loads independently and its the last thing to load at the end when WAN is available anyway .. _________________ Atheros

Stubby DNS over TLS I DNSCrypt v2 by mac913
Thank you, Pierrick! Unusual that people bother with that. It is appreciated.
Being around xda and other communities, I know that so well.. I have been having my router since one year but now, I need also more parental control and ads management that I switched recently to ddwrt.. I begin to have fun with it

For the records.. I had previously a host file on my windows machine.. but now, all my devices are under the same configuration, and with white listing, it saves also some time in case of future forced *inclusion*.
This is awesome, thank you! I was getting fed up with Privoxy not really blocking much of anything ad-wise except for whole sites, and stumbled across the "other" thread with your trials, found my way here, and managed to somehow get it working! I will say it took me a few tries, for some reason the first few times I tried curl I wouldn't get any responses in the logs at all, then wget was always failing even with the extra "-", but then mysteriously curl worked when I went back to trying it, so I wanted to say thank you!
As a comment on it - I ended up dropping the ping wait at the beginning from 110 seconds to 30, hopefully that doesn't cause a problem. Fingers crossed.
I should also add, for some who might encounter it, that graph.facebook.com being blacklisted not only broke my Messenger (on mobile only, not desktop) but also kept the facebook settings on mobile from working at all, so I unfortunately had to whitelist those, but oh well.

Thanks for the support! Also, there's absolutely no harm in using a smaller delay (as you did) in that "until..." loop. It just means you'll attempt to ping cloudflare more often while looking for the network to come up.

For graph.facebook.com, it should be enough to not blacklist it, since (at least at present) it's not showing up in badhosts anyway. I don't blacklist it here anymore either. I'm currently blacklisting only ads.facebook.com and connect.facebook.net, but the inadequate evidence here so far suggests the latter may disable facebook messenger. I don't use any facebook tools/spyware myself anyway and refuse to install it or even browse to it on my own devices, so to discover problems I have to wait for the rest of the family to swawk.

It turns out that sometimes Startup code is run more than once by dd-wrt. I believe Apply on some GUI pages will rerun it, for example. So as presented above, the adblocker may get rerun. That's pretty harmless unless two runs of it overlap in time in just the wrong way, but to be super safe, you can replace the whole <Adblocker Code> with this:
Of course you can name the file whatever you like. It will be an empty file that exists only so that the second and later runs of the Startup code will "realize" not to execute your code. The variable STARTED is local to the enclosing subshell (the parentheses), so you can re-use the name elsewhere if inclined, just not in the <Adblocker>. _________________ 2x Netgear XR500 and 3x Linksys WRT1900ACSv2 on 53544: VLANs, VAPs, NAS, station mode, OpenVPN client (AirVPN), wireguard server (AirVPN port forward) and clients (AzireVPN, AirVPN, private), 3 DNSCrypt providers via VPN.

got lost here what is all about
just either revise it on the top or post the all revised adblocker as you believe it should be....
here at the end... this article gets interesting as
there are many suggestions all working and useful..
by the way ive never seen it executed twice...as i also keep it in custom script instead... _________________ Atheros

Good point. I've gone back and revised the latest full version with the more recent updates.

I have seen other startup code executed twice. Yesterday the second execution, due to a bug in my (other) code, crashed my router so completely that I needed a reset/restore. It got my attention! And this morning I finally noticed that the scripting section in the wiki warns us to plan for startup to run more than once. Of course if you call your custom script from startup, you may need something like
If you don't call the adblocker from startup, I can't see any reason you'd need to care about double running, so you can pretty much ignore today's posts. Or if you are looking back to the last posted full version of the code (https://forum.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=321121&start=42), strip off the new two first (noncomment) lines AND the new final parenthesis on the last line. Gotta keep those parens in pairs!
BTW all, yesterday this adblocker saved my wife's computer from tags.bluekai.com, supposedly a nasty site that infects browsers with a popup creation engine that fills one's life with ads. There's lots of stuff online about it and how to remove it. Just for grins, I checked and discovered that Quad9 DNS does not block it but that Adguard DNS does. _________________ 2x Netgear XR500 and 3x Linksys WRT1900ACSv2 on 53544: VLANs, VAPs, NAS, station mode, OpenVPN client (AirVPN), wireguard server (AirVPN port forward) and clients (AzireVPN, AirVPN, private), 3 DNSCrypt providers via VPN.

Hi all,
I have copied and saved the script as startup (Thank you all who created/contributed to the script), DNSmasq is enabled but Local DNS is disabled.
The Adchoices ads and google ads are still able to slip through (yahoo.com). Am I doing something wrong (noob)? It seems all the sites I frequent are served by Adchoices/Google ads and there is no solution? even Ad Block plus extension works only sometimes.

Local DNS must be enabled (turned on)

There is no 100% solution, as many ads are embedded now in the material you are trying to view and don't involve separate DNS lookups. All we can do is try to reduce the numbers of ads as best we can! _________________ 2x Netgear XR500 and 3x Linksys WRT1900ACSv2 on 53544: VLANs, VAPs, NAS, station mode, OpenVPN client (AirVPN), wireguard server (AirVPN port forward) and clients (AzireVPN, AirVPN, private), 3 DNSCrypt providers via VPN.

Have you actually tested this both ways, with and without Local DNS enabled? I have not, but I don't believe Local DNS should be required. The addn-hosts=... dnsmasq feature that this all hinges on simply extends the usual unix use of an /etc/hosts file, which is not related to a local-DNS capability in particular. _________________ 2x Netgear XR500 and 3x Linksys WRT1900ACSv2 on 53544: VLANs, VAPs, NAS, station mode, OpenVPN client (AirVPN), wireguard server (AirVPN port forward) and clients (AzireVPN, AirVPN, private), 3 DNSCrypt providers via VPN.

I can definitely try it with Local DNS enabled, however, would you folks confirm, if you go to yahoo.com or slickdeals.com, you are not seeing the ads to the right side of the page?
I will say it took me a few tries, for some reason the first few times I tried curl I wouldn't get any responses in the logs at all, then wget was always failing even with the extra "-", but then mysteriously curl worked when I went back to trying it, so I wanted to say thank you!
