I have moved "sleep 60" to the beginning of the loop. This will put less stress on router during startup and give it more time to get its WAN running properly (a powercut could have put the modem offline).

Code:
while sleep 60
do
  ....
  ....
done

instead of
Code:
while true
do
  ....
  ....
  sleep 60
done


So how would you add the code above to refect to the orignal code below...

_rogue=0.0.0.0
echo -e "#!/bin/sh\nn=1\nwhile sleep 60\ndo\n\twget -q -O - http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.txt | grep \"^127.0.0.1\" | grep -v localhost | awk '{print \"$_rogue\\\t\"\$2}' | tr -d '\\\015' >/tmp/dlhosts\n" >/tmp/write_dlhosts
echo -e "\t[ \`grep -il doubleclick /tmp/dlhosts\` ] && break\n\t[ \$n -gt 5 ] && break\n\tlet n+=1\ndone\nkillall -HUP dnsmasq" >>/tmp/write_dlhosts
chmod +x /tmp/write_dlhosts
/tmp/write_dlhosts &

Also I have some other Stratup code, should it be before or after this code?

Thanks...

The code which you posted already has the sleep 60 at start.

Best to put it at the end, but it doesn't really matter as it only writes the script which takes a millisecond. Then it waits a minute before it starts working.

In the mean time the rest of your startup code will continue.

does using this script block certain images or content that shouldnt be blocked? cuz I had this script runnin on my WRT54GL before I upgraded its firmware a few days ago and It was blocking the "Coming Soon" image from my GoDaddy webserver. If i try the same link at a friends house it showed the image.
Any ideas wuts happening there? I mean it cant be only that image this script is blocking, who knows wut else im missing lol

The dlhosts and for that matter the hosts files in general block everything coming from a site, pictures, pages, scripts, everything. That is why you are getting those missing pages.

excample
0.0.0.0 ads.godaddy.com < blocks everything from the ads subdomain of godaddy
0.0.0.0 godaddy.com < blocks everything from godaddy domain
0.0.0.0 com < blocks all com domains, i.e gooogle.com

Yes, it can block only that image.
A lot of sites (including this forum) has ads on them which are on special adservers. If the domains of these adservers can't be resolved it can't download that image.

In the case of this forum it also means Brainslayer is getting less money Sad

Frater, I was just wondering if you have started this. If so, i would like to lend my services for testing and/or comments if you are accepting them.

Now we will use the DD-WRT as webserver. Because DD-WRT is already running de management interface on port 80, we need to move it.

This can be done by simply changing its port.
Code:
nvram set http_lanport=88
nvram commit

The code is about the same. It just starts the webserver.
Code:
httpd -h /usr/tmp/www
_rogue=`nvram get lan_ipaddr`
echo -e "#!/bin/sh\nn=1\nwhile sleep 60\ndo\n\twget -q -O - http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.txt | grep \"^127.0.0.1\" | grep -v localhost | awk '{print \"$_rogue\\\t\"\$2}' | tr -d '\\\015' >/tmp/dlhosts\n" >/tmp/write_dlhosts
echo -e "\t[ \`grep -il doubleclick /tmp/dlhosts\` ] && break\n\t[ \$n -gt 5 ] && break\n\tlet n+=1\ndone\nkillall -HUP dnsmasq" >>/tmp/write_dlhosts
chmod +x /tmp/write_dlhosts
/tmp/write_dlhosts &


BEWARE!
Your router will run on port 88 afterwards.

Question:

I ran into this setting up the host and pushing it to another system. If the URL to the ad is something like http:/ /SomeURL.com / ad.php?crapad=101, When it was redirected to the local server I set up it still came up page not found. The reason why is because the ad url changed to another system, but the path remained. If the URL to the add is something like http:/ /localURL.com / ad.php?crapad=101. The web server is missing the page ad.php?crapad=101. A good test a amazon, it has three ads off the front page that are blocked, but the blocked ads show up as page not found. I cant try this right now, but I dont think this solves that type of issue, which makes me wonder why have the web server redirect in the first place.

frater the Ad-Blocking script is working great. What is the purpose of the webserver and answering webcalls. Isn't it more secure to no servers running for hackers to hack?

Although the thread is called "ad blocking" it's not "blocking" at all. It's more about giving your web browser false info, so it can not find the ads.

The ads are just links to special webservers. You have downloaded a big list containing all those webservers. Normally your DNS-server (dnsmasq on your router) has to find out on which IP they are. dnsmasq now doesn't return the real IP address, but a fake one, the IP of the DD-WRT router.

Your webbrowser will then connect to that IP.

All this is done on your local LAN, so there are no security issues.

It's true that running the 2nd http-server isn't nearly as good as pixelserv. You will still get "page not found" because the server doesn't have the pages that are being asked by your webbrowser.

pixelserv is a very simple perl script which acts as a dumb http-server and returns a pixel whatever page is asked. Although pixelserv is simple itself it is dependent of perl. perl is a very powerful language and although it can be installed on DD-WRT it's a bit too heavy for it.

I have a Linux server on which I installed pixelserv on a 2nd IP.

hos is it possible to join 2 files into one file without duplicates. is there any command in linux that can be used on the router.

i have 2 diff. hos files and would like to combine them, but there are lots of duplicates in there too.

@gaganwalia
While I'm NOT taking the time to understand YOUR problem, I am taking the time to point out that Frater explicitly created THIS thread for those of us that DON'T need a special set-up. YOU have a special need, YOU need to use the other thread. Please stop trying to make a SIMPLE AD-BLOCKING thread complicated. I'm not flaming you, I'm strongly suggesting you use your own thread for special needs so you can have your own custom script that covers special considerations. and give it a name like "special ad-blocking" so its distinct from "SIMPLE ad-blocking".

I do understand you want to do something different so that you can preserve your existing hosts file, you need to go to a different thread and get your suggestions posted THERE.

Please RE-READ Fraters origional post for this thread: It clearly states its for simple ad-blocking. Please understand, I don't have the same need as you do to preserve and existing hosts file like you do. YOU have the special need. This thread is for those who do NOT have a special need. We want it simple, we do not need special considerations, Frater is dead on target with this thread, and I am sure that you will see others with your need for special need are still using the other thread with special considerations.

You can only get rid of those "page not found" when you run pixelserv or something like it.
You can run pixelserv on a system that's capable of running perl.

It's not the same as the other thread. Although that thread also contains "my code" it also has a lot of scripts which are faulty.
I made a seperate thread, so we can all discuss this one script.
