-# adblock script for openwrt
+# dns based ad/abuse domain blocking
 
 ## Description
 A lot of people already use adblocker plugins within their desktop browsers, but what if you are using your (smart) phone, tablet, watch or any other wlan gadget...getting rid of annoying ads, trackers and other abuse sites (like facebook ;-) is simple: block them with your router. When the dns server on your router receives dns requests, you will sort out queries that ask for the resource records of ad servers and return the local ip address of your router and the internal web server delivers a transparent pixel instead.

 ## Tweaks
-* 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)

 ## Background
-This adblock package is a dns/dnsmasq based adblock solution for openwrt.  
+This adblock package is a dns/dnsmasq based adblock solution.  
 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.  
+For that purpose adblock uses an ip address from the private 'TEST-NET-1' subnet (192.0.2.1 / ::ffff:c000:0201) by default (in AP mode the local router ip address will be used).  
 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.
