I also have a Tp Link Archer AC1750 C7 version 2. r47206 standard. But I don't have a button in services to enable local DNS. Maybe there is a dnsmasq option someone knows I could add after
bogus-priv
domain-needed
addn-hosts=/jffs/dnsmasq/mphosts
conf-file=/jffs/dnsmasq/mpdomains

But wait, when I run the script ./adblock.sh -2 -i ip=127.0.0.1
[INFO] Size of /tmp/mphosts.tmp: 28.4M
[INFO] Size of /tmp/mpdomains.tmp: 10.8M
[INFO] Size of /jffs/dnsmasq/mphosts: 17.0M
[INFO] Size of /jffs/dnsmasq/mpdomains: 0
Domains are not copied over unless ip is left as default. So I am able to get this partially working by omitting the conf-file. Any suggestions to get this fully working on Archer C7?

Add router address as local DNS server on main setup page; local DNS should be enabled by default.

I have a reasonably new router (AC1750, dd-wrt v3.0-r43904), and adblock.sh configured to use "blitz=0" lists. No Optware, Entware, etc.

I'm having a weird error when dnsmasq goes to start up. It invisibly exits, with error code 2, when the normal process starts. However, starting the process either in debug mode or in the foreground (-k) works perfectly fine. Any ideas or tips on trying to debug this?

Here is my generated config:

Code:

I went through all the hoops getting this up and running. One thing that threw me off others may find helpful is that the command " sh adblock.sh -s2 " works and is equivalent to the " ./ adblock.sh -s2 " used in the OP. I had to be able to use either command after testing multiple older (r36000 to r39000) builds on an wndr3700r4 and an archer c7v2 (ac1750).

What I can suggest is saving your config or jotting it down and trying some different (older) builds for your router. Don't reset after flashing and when you find a build that seems to work after some period, then reset to default.

I searched for methods to enable more detailed logging or how to look through (what to look for in) the directories on the router to debug certain processes and couldn't find anything useful and actually found that to get any more detailed logging is disabled or unavailable in dd-wrt.

I did a time cost benefit analysis and determined trying new builds would be faster than struggling to understand all the ins and outs of a dd-wrt process and how to debug it.

After bugs with different builds, I ended up getting it running nicely on a wndr3700r4 build r36410 with services:
-usb core support working
-/jffs and /opt mounted properly at each startup
-local DNS working and not overloading CPU
-Upnp working and not dying and restarting
-wireless tested working (but is disabled)
-mpdomains coping over to /jffs/dnsmasq/mpdomains after adblock.sh downloads it
-conf-file=/jffs/dnsmasq/mpdomains not overloading CPU after adding it to Services -> Additional Dnsmasq Options window.

Here is my dnsmasq.conf file:

interface=br0
resolv-file=/tmp/resolv.dnsmasq
strict-order
domain=gateway.sasktel.net
leasefile-ro
dhcp-script=/etc/lease_update.sh
dhcp-lease-max=99
dhcp-option=br0,3,192.168.1.254
dhcp-range=br0,192.168.1.1,192.168.1.99,255.255.255.0,9999m
bogus-priv
conf-file=/etc/rfc6761.conf
stop-dns-rebind
domain-needed
bind-interfaces
no-negcache
cache-size=2500
rebind-localhost-ok
addn-hosts=/jffs/dnsmasq/mphosts
conf-file=/jffs/dnsmasq/mpdomains

PS adding bogus-priv to the Services -> Additional Dnsmasq Options window causes a duplicate entry in /tmp/dnsmasq.conf and maybe should be removed in the OP or at least mentioned.

If you start with: sh -x
(b)ash will enter debug mode

You can also set the following in the beginning of the script:
set -x

if I use conf-file = / jffs / dnsmasq / mpdomains in Additional Dnsmasq Options the internet no longer works.

where is the problem?

[oliver44]

[egc]

DNSMasq cannot start :

[oliver44]

[egc]

The adblock script should make that host file.

So simply check if it is there.

when you were running the script (some posts above) it ended in:
^C
Meaning the executing was aborted, and making the mphosts file is the last step.

Such host files can be extremely large and most scripts clean for double entries, garbage etc so running a script like this can take a loooong time.

But it is just guessing I do not know the script
