adblock blocks these domains:
https://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.txt
https://adaway.org/hosts.txt

but youtube doesn't block it.

What do they tell me about adguard can it be installed to block YouTube ads?

You can try adblock package from OpenWrt, but you really need a lot of RAM and manual configuration for this package.

You can't block YouTube ads using router based adblocking. Use a browser based solution.

Today I try to use over 30K blocklist, the file after downloaded is over 800KB but a funny thing is my free storage before installing adblock plugin is just 400KB.
So, what I'm curious about is how the free storage is calculated ?
How come my limited storage can handle doubled size file and still have 172KB free ??? so strange.



Oh I also try to change the script to use dnsmasq instead of hosts. It perform good. It now block all child/subdomain of blocked list, saves much trouble. (with hosts file it only block the listed domain but not it's child/subdomain). However is there any disadvantage of using dnsmasq instead of hosts file??

I installed Adblock plugin on my V1.12.0 WRT3200 but it's not working. It appears that the block list isn't updated.

What's the fix? Do I have to install V1.13?

If I do this is there a way to re-install my static IP table? I have about 70 devices and don't want to re-enter by hand.

I'm very much a newb so updating scripts isn't something I currently know how to do...

Thanks!

ah... yes.. I saw those posts

Trouble is I don't know how/ where to update this. I would happily take a brief tutorial if you're willing.

My last programming was with Fortran ~25+ years ago in college

I'm using a Mac if that makes any difference in how to update the files.
