Legend! Thanks for that quick response.

Is there any particular reason you use that instead of the default?

Just as a response to that article, I don’t personally receive any monetary gain from this plugin (or any of my activities on this site).
I can’t speak to how the upstream block lists are maintained, but if you believe they are no longer the best sources I am happy to change them. The plugin is due for a bit of an overhaul anyway.

For pure testing purposes, I've also tried other several hosts sources (smaller ones, but combined) in the past, and thought I'd might try this bigger one. The router seems to be handling it just fine so far.

I'd noticed when running the Adblock script from CLI that one of the wget is failing. A bit of chasing and it is the second one

Code: Select all

wget -qO- "http://adaway.org/hosts.txt"|awk -v r="$ENDPOINT_IP4" '{sub(/^127.0.0.1/, r)} $0 ~ "^"r' >> /tmp/block.build.list
I am seeing this response

Code: Select all

wget: error getting response: Connection reset by peer
Exactly the same command run on my desktop terminal runs fine, tried with https and get the same response.

Yes I believe they are pushing their traffic to HTTPS but by default Gargoyle wget doesn’t support SSL.
I need to fix this.

USE --no-check-certificate !!!! :D:D:D

wget -qO- --no-check-certificate "https://github. com/StevenBlack/hosts/raw/master/hosts" | awk -v r="$ENDPOINT_IP4" '{sub(/^0.0.0.0/, r)} $0 ~ "^"r' > /tmp/block.build.list

Does this plugin save a log file?
Can I see the list of blocked URLs, with date and time?

I do not think so. The log would be massive.

Well... it could at least keep the last 12/24 hours.
Or just keep the log size constant.

There is no mechanism for logging this as the requests are blocked at the dnsmasq level.
