Adblock Plugin

[Lantis]

Version 1.1.1
- Updated German translation (thanks @petbrau)
- Fixed Tor checking logic. Now works correctly for users who don't have Tor plugin installed at all.
- Added some additional behind the scenes logging entries to make debugging easier in the future


First post updated.

@ziggy
I cannot reproduce a scenario where I get no hosts file

Is that file something I can import manually? Or create it manually if I have the contents sent to me?

I'm getting a MD5sum mismatch error installing the new version.

Fixed.

Ive just discovered that one of the hosts has changed their file format so i'll have to look into that as well.

Umm i can provide the file for you but i don't really understand why it isn't working.
Will send you a PM

I want to update the plugin but it won't uninstall from the GUI. I'm not familiar with the CLI interface, could someone help me uninstall it manually?

Hi Lanis -- Love your work and on integrating this into the UI. I've been running the script on a number of family routers over the years.

I would like to suggest two additional lists that may help curb some other ad networks and malware.

#wget -qO- "http://hosts-file.net/ad_servers.txt"|awk -v r="$ENDPOINT_IP4" '{sub(/^127.0.0.1/, r)} $0 ~ "^"r' >> /tmp/block.build.list
#wget -qO- "http://www.malwaredomainlist.com/hostsl ... s.txt"|awk -v r="$ENDPOINT_IP4" '{sub(/^127.0.0.1/, r)} $0 ~ "^"r' >> /tmp/block.build.list

I don't know if there is a way to enhance this to make updates via the UI whereas to provide the file url and the general filter (maybe in an advanced section)?

Thanks for all the work.

An interesting suggestion.
A way to enter your own URLs and a regex for them. What a cool idea. It'd be complicated though. I'll look into it.

My thoughts for not just adding the lists by default is as the lists get bigger some of the processing required on them starts to fill the RAM of small routers causing a crash.

In the Adblock page there's an option for "ADBLOCKWireless" which has a check box.
What is this for?

[Lantis]

It was supposed to allow the option to only block ads for wireless clients. Unfortunately due to the way gargoyle bridges the interfaces I couldn't get it to properly identify the seperate traffic.
The idea was that your wired clients (probably PCs) may have their own ad blocking so you only wanted to do it for phones etc.

If I (or anyone else) can suggest a way of fixing it I'll put it back in.

Make the lists have tick boxes and set to off by default. You could ad them under a heading extra lists and have a note saying that they may take up more ram on devices with low ram.

I think that would be much simpler than allowing a edit field for people to input there own URLs
