killianbell Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 I am currently using an app called Blokada to block ads in mobile apps, but I realized today that I should be able to do the same thing with my Netduma R2. So, I downloaded the list of URLs from OISD (the same one used by Blokada) and added it to the ad blocker section, but it doesn't appear to be working. If I disable Blokada on my iOS device, all the ads in games reappear, despite the ad blocker being active on my router. Also, what's odd is that it seems the ad blocker is only working on one of four devices that appear in the ad blocker section. I've attached a screenshot. Can anyone tell me what's going on? (Just for clarify, I have tried several different OISD lists, including the basic and full options of both "Domains" and "Adblock Plus Filter Lists." None of them seem to work.)

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted February 6, 2023 Administrators Share Posted February 6, 2023 I just tried adding it using the URL instead as an online list, try that and see if that works for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still seeing ads that aren't there if I enable Blokada. I'm also only seeing "bubbles" for one device on the timeline still. I don't know why there aren't any for the other three that appear there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted February 6, 2023 Administrators Share Posted February 6, 2023 Does it show up that it's blocked an ad when you're seeing an ad? Are the other devices online and active at the time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still seeing ads on my laptop when I browse the web. When I use my iPhone, nothing shows up on the timeline (or anywhere else) for that, and as far as I can tell, it's not blocking anything. Same goes for my iPad and my corporate laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted February 6, 2023 Administrators Share Posted February 6, 2023 Delete your custom lists, disable the existing lists, reboot the router from the interface, wait 2 minutes then access, add the list as an online list then see if it works better please. Also what firmware version are you on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killianbell Posted February 7, 2023 Author Share Posted February 7, 2023 Unfortunately that doesn't appear to have made a difference. Still not blocking ads. Still not showing any tracking info for anything other than my personal laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killianbell Posted February 7, 2023 Author Share Posted February 7, 2023 No, I am not using a VPN on any of them. There may be something on my corporate laptop I'm not aware of, but I'm not too bothered about blocking ads on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you added any customer whitelists, or is it just blacklists you've added? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I restarted my router as advised above, I just have the standard "ads" and "tracking" options enabled, plus one OISD list added as a URL.

Could you try clicking the three-line menu in 'Adblock lists' and click Resync Cloud. Can you then download a log file from System Information -> Logs and send it over to us?

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted February 7, 2023 Administrators Share Posted February 7, 2023 Thanks for that, it looks okay, can you see if there is a change after the resync? You do have access to the Early Access group so it would be worth trying that firmware to see if you get the same issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killianbell Posted February 7, 2023 Author Share Posted February 7, 2023 There appears to be no change after the resync. I had been thinking about trying the early access firmware; I was just hoping to avoid a factory reset. But I'll try that out tonight and report back. Thanks!
