Adblock not working

Software Turris OS 4.x
1

I just installed Adblock on TO (V4.0.5). Adblock is enabled and started, several block list sources are enable but Adblock doesn’t seem to work.

This isn’t suppose to happen when Adblock is functioning correctly.

/etc/kresd$ nslookup securepubads.g.doubleclick.net localhost
Server: localhost
Address: ::1#53

Name: securepubads.g.doubleclick.net
securepubads.g.doubleclick.net canonical name = partnerad.l.doubleclick.net
Name: partnerad.l.doubleclick.net
Address 1: 172.217.168.226
securepubads.g.doubleclick.net canonical name = partnerad.l.doubleclick.net

Also i noticed something strange in that overall_domains : 0 (normal mode)

/etc/kresd$ /etc/init.d/adblock status
::: adblock runtime information

  • adblock_status : enabled
  • adblock_version : 3.5.5-2
  • overall_domains : 0 (normal mode)
  • fetch_utility : /bin/wget (built-in)
  • dns_backend : kresd (/etc/kresd)
  • last_rundate : 25.02.2020 19:08:02
  • system_release : Turris Omnia, TurrisOS 4.0.5 ab9d1bf/4.0.5

Alltough the logfile writes

Feb 25 18:24:03 TurrisJK adblock-3.5.5-2[11485]: blocklist with overall 0 domains loaded successfully (Turris Omnia, TurrisOS 4.0.5 ab9d1bf/4.0.5)

How can i fix Adblock?

TIA

Well it seems I have the same problem…

Got it working by installing libustream-ssl and choosing uclient-fetch.

Edit: Curl seems to work also and doesn’t need libustream.

It works on my site, I’m using curl to download the blocklists:

Had similar issue, but curl did not helped. My solution was the setup over shell = setup over luci was not working
