DanologyUK Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Hope it's still not too late for ideas for the new OS. How about the ability to do Adblock at router level? Don't know how easy or feasible it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 14, 2017 Administrators Share Posted August 14, 2017 I think that is something that's been suggested before - at the very least it is something we have thought about. I'm sure a lot of people would like this and so in future I'm confident we could implement that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanologyUK Posted August 14, 2017 Author Share Posted August 14, 2017 Brilliant, thanks Fraser. This router just gets better and better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iAmMoDBoX Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Yeah I remember mentioning it a long time ago... It works nicely, but it uses quite a bit of router resources once the block list grows to tens of thousands of blocked sites like most adblockers are these day. I tested it on a OpenWRT install, and once the list was updated it slowed down my connection quiet a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine we would have some sort of workaround, perhaps the list is located on the cloud and is consulted when needed. I don't know though just speculating.
