ggkthx Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 As per the topic, adblocker doesn't seem to work across all devices. I've been monitoring the stats for the past week and notice that zero ads and trackers are blocked for 2 of my devices. QoS and DPI are enabled and i'm using the default lists. Adblocking works just fine on all my other devices(verified this by going to ad-heavy sites. E.g. youtube, instagram, twitter etc.). I've resetted the router to defaults three times and it's been consistent in not being able to block on an iphone(no adblock or vpn profiles installed) and a stock windows laptop(no adblock in browser). Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 5 Administrators Share Posted March 5 Are they both connected via WiFi? If so, disable Private/Random Network/Hardware addresses on both devices and see if it works properly then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggkthx Posted March 5 Author Share Posted March 5 No luck with that. Also, those 2 devices don't show up in my Device Manager now even though they're connected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 5 Administrators Share Posted March 5 Check the IP on the devices themselves then check the Device Manager and try to find the devices with the same IPs and re-name them. It's likely due to the options I mentioned above that they're appearing with different names Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggkthx Posted March 6 Author Share Posted March 6 Yup, that's been fixed. Any other suggestions to fix adblocker not working? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 7 Administrators Share Posted March 7 Okay so that was an issue then? Now you know the correct names for them to they appear to be blocking on Adblocker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggkthx Posted March 8 Author Share Posted March 8 the name change was not an issue. adblocker not blocking on a couple of my devices is the original issue and still the issue. disabling private wifi address on iPhone did nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I meant by connected is that they finally show up in device manager and not to the adnlocker. So this didn’t solve the issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 8 Administrators Share Posted March 8 Have you made any specific settings for these devices on the router? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 9 Administrators Share Posted March 9 Does Network Monitor show any traffic for the devices if you go on YouTube for example? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggkthx Posted March 9 Author Share Posted March 9 Yes, everything works fine except for adblocking on a couple of devices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 9 Administrators Share Posted March 9 Have you set a different DNS on the devices themselves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggkthx Posted March 10 Author Share Posted March 10 no. all defaults. no custom lists either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 10 Administrators Share Posted March 10 Could you disable IPv6 in LAN & WAN Settings and see if it works then please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggkthx Posted March 10 Author Share Posted March 10 Â i don't see any ipv6 settings in the LAN/WAN pages. Â unless you're referring to this? then again, it's never been enabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 10 Administrators Share Posted March 10 Sorry that was for a different router, you can ignore that: On both devices disable "Limit IP Address Tracking" and see if that helps. Also are they using the Apple private relay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggkthx Posted March 11 Author Share Posted March 11 disabled that on both devices but still doesnt work. btw, i've got it enabled on one of my devices which is an iphone but adblocker seems to work regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 11 Administrators Share Posted March 11 Really bizarre, are either devices on a really old software version or the opposite, on a new preview version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggkthx Posted March 12 Author Share Posted March 12 yeah i'm just as puzzled why it wouldnt just work on those devices. they're pretty new - it's an iphone 14 pro max and macbook released in the last 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 12 Administrators Share Posted March 12 I know that Safari has a built in Adblocker now so perhaps that's doing it instead? If you use another web browser on them does it then work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
