My brother-in-law had a Netgear R6300 (non-v2) for many years. Yesterday the WAN port "died." He went to Best Buy and got a new router (Netgear R6400 aka AC1750). I asked him if I could play around with the other router. After putting DD-WRT on it, the WAN port works again. I want to be able to use this script to be able to do router based ad blocking:

My brother-in-law is unwilling to install DD-WRT on a brand new router, so I am trying to find a way to use the router with DD-WRT to both rely on the main router for DHCP like a switch, but also be able to use DNS for ad blocking. Is this possible?

dd-wrt AD blocking doesn't stop yoptube adverts at all
but it does the job for the rest ...

first or the second ? i tried them both yes few of the adverts but no such a success as you reported with youtube, i had to develop my own at the end !!

You can do it with /tmp/hosts file or with dnsmasq options. Easiest is with hosts file (dnsmasq is local dns must be activated)

Add this to your startup script:

#wait for router to initialize network
sleep 20

# get hosts file with unix EOL
wget -qO- http://adaway.org/hosts.txt|grep "^127.0.0.1" >> /tmp/hosts

# re-read hosts file
killall -HUP dnsmasq

ADblocking
Startup Script:
Code:

_rogue=0.0.0.0
echo -e "n=1\nwhile ! wget -q -O /tmp/hsts http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.txt ; do\n\t[ \$n -gt 5 ] && break\n\tlet n+=1\n\tsleep 60\ndone\ngrep \"^0.0.0.0\" /tmp/hsts | grep \"^0.0.0.0\" | grep -v localhost | awk '{print \"$_rogue\\\t\"\$2}' | tr -d '\\\015' >/tmp/dlhosts\nrm /tmp/hsts\nkillall -HUP dnsmasq" >/tmp/wh
sh /tmp/wh &

Put Additional DNS Masquerade option:
addn-hosts=/tmp/dlhosts

cronjob
0 12 * * * root /tmp/.rc_startup

Yes I have this I found it on another topic and is workin really great.
Thank you.
But what's the difference with @tweakradje proposition?

ok with first script there are no additional dnsmasq options
and if you need to add anything to additional dnsmasq options it breaks down saved adblocking script and its not working, obviously with second script you can use it with conjunction with additional dnsmasq options and it works well

also script 1 has all the hosts added to /tmp/dlhosts
while the other one script 2 are going to /tmp/hosts and they are from different site in different format i guess

you can use whatever you decide and works well with your set up....
