It is TP-Link ARCHER-C7 v2 with DD-WRT v3.0-r40559 std.

I had followed instructions from this page: https://wiki.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Ad_blocking

The settings do not seem to take a stance against Ads.

I could access URIs in browsers mentioned in https://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.txt with no problems. Running a PING command resolves to original IP of say static.uk.addynamo.com

Restarted router, restarted several machines, nara.

Where do I look?

Do not use Chrome or Chromium-based web browsers with DD-WRT Web GUI firmware upgrade.

Pale Moon, Waterfox (Current 78 or Classic 56), Firefox ESR 78 or Firefox Portable Legacy (ESR 52 or 45).

...or Internet Explorer or Safari. Please disable add-ons, extensions, plugins & clear all history in advance.

As for ad blocking, there are lots different methods and threads about it though I just use uBlock Origin.

This isn't all of them, so use search or duckduckgo etc.

--Just put this script into "Startup":--

Code:

#!/bin/sh
logger WAN up script executing
if test -s /tmp/hosts0
then
rm /tmp/hosts0
fi

logger Downloading http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.txt
wget -O - http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.txt | grep 0.0.0.0 |
sed 's/[[:space:]]*#.*$//g;' |
grep -v localhost | tr ' ' '\t' |
tr -s '\t' | tr -d '\015' | sort -u >/tmp/hosts0
grep addn-hosts /tmp/dnsmasq.conf ||
echo "addn-hosts=/tmp/hosts0" >>/tmp/dnsmasq.conf
logger Restarting dnsmasq
killall dnsmasq
dnsmasq --conf-file=/tmp/dnsmasq.conf

I also tried to run the command in Administration/Commands/Run Commands and get the following error message:

Code:

sh: eval: line 17: syntax error: unexpected end of file (expecting "then")

Sorry I am new to Shell...

The r40559 build has issues on other quite similar hardware. Most issues are fixed on the r40750 build.
I would reset all settings , update to a known good build for C7 v2 (r41791 or r41113) reset to default settings again and manually redo your config, that avoids importing a bad config into an updated system.

I know that there are browser plugins, if someone wants a centralised solution, a dynamically created "blacklist" on the main "gateway" should work quite similar. Am I wrong ?

@servicetech Thank You for your recommendations. I was starting to think that the firmware needs to be updated as well. Did not look at the updates for a while. Now that we got more devices/kinds/OSs on this network I think it would be better to run things from one location. I also tried putting the script mentioned on WIKI into Firewall section - No Cigar.

You are welcome. Since BS publishes a lot of builds the challenge is to pick up a "rocksolid" one from the betas published for the hardware. Posts from other owners of the same hardware are really helpful, this makes it possible to do some "preselection". Appreciate any info what build is working reliable for you here:

PS: I do not own a C7 but its a really common budget device with a small cpu, so its in my list

Do you have the files originally downloaded? Not sure which builds you used previously, but here is r40559.

You can compare file hash or checksum, for example with freeware HashMyFiles from NirSoft.

1) Please resize your images to ~765-800 pixels wide.

2) Don't use the router database. There is a disclaimer on the landing page that tells you it is out of date and to look in the forum and wiki.

3) https://download1.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv2/downloads/betas/

@kernel-panic69 - Thank You. 1) Sorry. Got it. 2) Got it 3) So in my case it would be this as the latest: https://download1.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv2/downloads/betas/2020/11-24-2020-r44863/tplink_archer-c7-v3/ . Or should I go with something earlier?
