## Prerequisites
* [openwrt](https://openwrt.org), tested with latest stable release (Chaos Calmer 15.05) and with current trunk (Designated Driver > r47025)
* usual openwrt setup with 'iptables' & 'uhttpd', additional required software packages:
* [openwrt](https://openwrt.org), tested with latest stable release (Chaos Calmer) and with current trunk (Designated Driver)
* usual openwrt setup with enabled 'iptables', 'dnsmasq' and 'uhttpd' - dump AP modes are _not_ supported!
* additional required software packages:
* wget
* optional: 'kmod-ipt-nat6' for IPv6 support
* the above dependencies and requirements will be checked during package installation & script runtime
## Designated Driver Installation & Usage
* install the adblock package (*opkg install adblock*)
* start the adblock service with */etc/init.d/adblock start* and check *logread -e "adblock"* for adblock related information
* optional: enable/disable your required adblock list sources in */etc/config/adblock* - 'adaway', 'disconnect' and 'yoyo' are enabled by default
* install 'adblock' (_opkg install adblock_)
* adblock starts automatically during boot/wan-ifup event, check _logread -e "adblock"_ for adblock related information
* optional: start/restart/stop the adblock service manually with _/etc/init.d/adblock_
* optional: enable/disable your required adblock list sources in _/etc/config/adblock_ - 'adaway', 'disconnect' and 'yoyo' are enabled by default
* optional: maintain the adblock service in luci under 'System => Startup'
## LuCI adblock companion package
For easy management of the various blocklist sources and and the adblock options there is also a nice & efficient LuCI frontend available.
Please install the package 'luci-app-adblock' (*opkg install luci-app-adblock*). Then you will find the application in LuCI located under 'Services' menu.
Thanks to Hannu Nyman for this great adblock LuCI frontend!

## Chaos Calmer installation notes
* currently the adblock package is *not* part of the CC package repository
* download the latest adblock package *adblock_x.xx.x-1_all.ipk* from a development snapshot [package directory](https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ar71xx/nand/packages/packages)
* due to server hardware troubles the package directory link above may not work, if so please check the [main openwrt download area](https://downloads.openwrt.org) manually
* manual transfer the package to your router and install the opkg package as usual
* 'adblock' and 'luci-app-adblock' are _not_ available as .ipk packages in the Chaos Calmer download repository
* download both packages from a development snapshot package directory:
* for 'adblock' look [here](https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ar71xx/generic/packages/packages/)
* for 'luci-app-adblock' look [here](https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ar71xx/generic/packages/luci/)
* manually transfer the packages to your routers temp directory (with tools like _sshfs_ or _winscp_)
* install the packages with _opkg install <...>_ as described above
## Tweaks
* there is no need to enable all blacklist sites at once, for normal use one to three adblock list sources should be sufficient
* if you really need to handle all blacklists at once add an usb stick or any other storage device to enlarge your temp directory with a swap partition => see [openwrt wiki](https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/uci/fstab) for further details
* add personal domain white- or blacklist entries as an additional blocklist source, one domain per line (wildcards & regex are not allowed!), by default both empty lists are located in */etc/adblock*
* enable the backup/restore feature, to restore automatically the latest stable backup of your adblock lists in case of any (partial) processing error (i.e. a single blocklist source server is down). Please use an (external) solid partition and *not* your volatile router temp directory for this
* for a scheduled call of the adblock service via */etc/init.d/adblock start* add an appropriate crontab entry
* in case of any script runtime errors, you should enable script debugging: for this please change the value of the main 'DEBUG' switch, you'll find it in the header of */usr/bin/adblock-update.sh*
* to process & store all blocklist sources at once it might helpful to enlarge your temp directory with a swap partition => see [openwrt wiki](https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/uci/fstab) for further details
* add domain white- or blacklist entries to always-allow or -deny certain (sub) domains, by default both lists are located in _/etc/adblock_. Please add one domain per line - ip addresses, wildcards & regex are _not_ allowed (see example below)
* enable the backup/restore feature, to restore automatically the latest stable backup of your adblock lists in case of any (partial) processing error (i.e. a single blocklist source is down). Please use an (external) solid partition and _not_ your volatile router temp directory for this
* for a scheduled call of the adblock service via _/etc/init.d/adblock start_ add an appropriate crontab entry (see example below)
* in case of any script runtime errors, you should enable script debugging: for this please change the 'DEBUG' variable in the header of _/usr/bin/adblock-update.sh_ from '0' to '1' and start this script afterwards (without any parameter)
* you could add new blocklist sources on your own via uci config, all you need is a source url and an awk one-liner (see example below)
## Further adblock config options
* usually the adblock autodetection works quite well and no manual config overrides are needed, all options apply to 'global' adblock config section:
* usually the adblock autodetection works quite well and no manual config overrides are needed, all options apply to the 'global' config section:
* adb\_enabled => main switch to enable/disable adblock service (default: '1', enabled)
* adb\_cfgver => config version string (do not change!) - adblock checks this entry and automatically applies the current config, if none or an older revision was found.
* adb\_wanif => name of the logical wan interface (default: 'wan')
* adb\_cfgversion => config version string (do not change!) - adblock will check this entry during startup
* adb\_lanif => name of the logical lan interface (default: 'lan')
* adb\_port => port of the adblock uhttpd instance (default: '65535')
* adb\_nullport => port of the adblock uhttpd instance (default: '65535')
* adb\_nullipv4 => IPv4 blackhole ip address (default: '192.0.2.1')
* adb\_nullipv6 => IPv6 blackhole ip address (default: '::ffff:c000:0201')
* adb\_forcedns => redirect all DNS queries to local dnsmasq resolver (default: '1', enabled)
## Examples
**example cronjob for a regular update of the block lists:**
<pre><code>
# configuration found in /etc/crontabs/root
# start adblock script once a day at 6 a.m.
#
0 06 * * * /etc/init.d/adblock start
</code></pre>
**example blacklist entry (/etc/adblock/adblock.blacklist):**
<pre><code>
ads.example.com
</code></pre>
This rule blocks:
http://ads.example.com/foo.gif
http://server1.ads.example.com/foo.gif
https://ads.example.com:8000/
This rule doesn't block:
http://ads.example.com.ua/foo.gif
http://example.com/
**example whitelist entry (/etc/adblock/adblock.whitelist):**
<pre><code>
analytics.com
</code></pre>
This rule removes _all_ domains from the blocklists with this string in it, i.e.:
google-analytics.com
ssl.google-analytics.com
api.gameanalytics.com
photos.daily-deals.analoganalytics.com
adblockanalytics.com
**example to add [rolist+easylist](https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/rolist+easylist.txt) as a new source:**
<pre><code>
add a new source section in adblock config, take an existing easylist source as a template and change only the source name, the url and the description
config source 'ruadlist'
option enabled '0'
option adb_src 'https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/ruadlist+easylist.txt'
option adb_src_rset '{FS=\"[|^]\"} \$0 ~/^\|\|([A-Za-z0-9_-]+\.){1,}[A-Za-z]+\^$/{print tolower(\$3)}'
option adb_src_desc 'focus on russian ad related domains plus generic easylist additions, weekly updates, approx. 2.000 entries'
config source 'rolist'
option enabled '0'
option adb_src 'https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/rolist+easylist.txt'
option adb_src_rset '{FS=\"[|^]\"} \$0 ~/^\|\|([A-Za-z0-9_-]+\.){1,}[A-Za-z]+\^$/{print tolower(\$3)}'
option adb_src_desc 'focus on romanian ad related domains plus generic easylist additions, weekly updates, approx. 600 entries'
</code></pre>
## Background
This adblock package is a dns/dnsmasq based adblock solution for openwrt.
Queries to ad/abuse domains are never forwarded and always replied with a local IP address which may be IPv4 or IPv6.
For that purpose adblock uses an ip address from the private 'TEST-NET-1' subnet (192.0.2.1 / ::ffff:c000:0201) by default.
Furthermore all ad/abuse queries will be filtered by ip(6)tables and redirected to internal adblock pixel server (in PREROUTING chain) or rejected (in FORWARD or OUTPUT chain).
All iptables and uhttpd related adblock additions are non-destructive, no hard-coded changes in 'firewall.user', 'uhttpd' config or any other openwrt related config files. There is *no* adblock background daemon running, the (scheduled) start of the adblock service keeps only the adblock lists up-to-date.
