Working to get adblock working on both the Mango and the Slate (3.022) and having a few problems with it not working.
In the end it’s pretty easy though:
SSH Session:
opkg update
opkg install adblock
opkg install luci-app-adblock
Browser into your router → More settings - > Advanced → Services → adblock
The default screen looks like this:
Tried this and wouldn’t block ads
Puzzled over, read lots and found that this works:
Instead of using the default uclient-fetch you need to use wget as the download utility
You may have to load wget (opkg install wget), didn’t look pre-post solving but I did an install anyway.
Don’t know if it’s because I’m running this in WISP mode but it appears I had to change the interface to LAN as well.
You can see in the first 3 attempts using uclient-fetch it’s actually not fetching or downloading any host files, but changing to wget has downloaded them and now works fine.
Assume this is the same across the GL-iNet range. Hope this helps someone
(Actually just found another post that describes this after searching before…weak Google-fu …sorry for duplicate (but none of the other posts have pretty pictures ) )
