Help install adblock-fast

Routers VPN, DNS, Leaks

I'm trying to install adblock-fast on my be9300 flint 3.

I can't get it to run.

I've tried wiping the config via SSH then reinstalling, and now I've lost the block lists that comes with it too from the config… Even a reinstall doesn't fix that now.

Has anyone managed to get it working with the luci web interface package?

Hi

We tested this on Flint 3 running firmware v4.8.1, and the following steps worked on our side:

  1. SSH into the router and install adblock-fast:
opkg update && opkg install luci-app-adblock-fast
  1. In LuCI under Services > AdBlock Fast, configure it as needed. In our test, we selected the dnsmasq instance and enabled one list.

  1. SSH into the router again and enable adblock-fast:
uci set adblock-fast.config.enabled='1'; uci commit adblock-fast;
/etc/init.d/adblock-fast restart

Test results are shown above.

Thanks. Thats what I did previously…. And it all seems to work fine from the temrinal.

However from the services → adblock fast web gui I see:

AdBlock-Fast - Status
Service Status
Not installed or not found

However from the ssh console it looks like its working:

So i assume its jut an issue with the webgui?

Edit: blocking is working, seems like just a gui issue!

Ok now that adblock-fast is working I have lost DNS on tailscale.

Does adblock-fast interfere with DNS and tailscale? How can I fix it?
