packages

The UI is not, the actual package is: https://github.com/openwrt/packages/pull/10535

There is two PRs, the UI is not merge, the deamon is: https://github.com/openwrt/packages/pull/10535

The WebThings Gateway does support OpenWrt if the router is beefy enough (decent app processor, RAM, and flash). Most cheap routers wouldn't work. If you are a savvy OpenWrt user see: https://github.com/openwrt/packages/tree/master/lang/node-mo... The Turris OS that runs on Omnia is a customized OpenWrt build that lets a user plug a USB memory stick (with the Mozilla WebThings Gateway image, and only that image on it) into the Omnia, hold down the reset button until the 4th front panel LED lights, let go, and wait until it installs and the "WebThings Gateway XXYY" SSID appears. Then connect to it and proceed with the setup process. Suggest other hardware to potentially support on Mozilla's Discourse "iot" channel. Or the mozilla-iot/gateway repo on github.

Also trivially accomplished with PiHole or adblock on OpenWRT, and with a bit more work, Privoxy, SquidGuard, and related tools. Running your own DNS server (DNSMasq, Knot Resover (kresd), Bind) pretty much gives you carte blanche to do anything you want. https://pi-hole.net/ https://openwrt.org/packages/pkgdata/adblock (see: https://github.com/openwrt/packages/blob/master/net/adblock/...) https://www.privoxy.org http://www.squidguard.org http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/doc.html https://knot-resolver.readthedocs.io/en/stable/daemon.html https://www.isc.org/downloads/bind/

Also, owners or routers able to run OpenWRT (which is actively maintained and in great shape since the merge with LEDE), you have access to several packages providing the same technical solution (DNS-based blocking). As far as I know, the most common and maintained is https://github.com/openwrt/packages/tree/master/net/adblock/... . Super easy to install, full-featured, lots of lists to pick from, auto-updates lists, no need for an additional device, and you will benefit from router features produced by the openwrt community and maybe unavailable in your router proprietary firmware. Much recommended. If that sounds attractive and it sounds like a good opportunity to change your crumbling unpatched router, the question "what's today's good cheap router running openwrt without trouble?" is frequently answered by https://www.reddit.com/r/ope

Just download a Host file[1] and you can have system level ad blocking on your laptop. As for running an adblock on your router, if your router supports openwrt, openwrt has an adblock addon[2] that is easily configurable. Unfortunately, you will lose out on the statistics that Pi-hole collects. [1] https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts [2] https://github.com/openwrt/packages/tree/master/net/adblock/...
