but they don't.. they add features nobody in the real world wants/needs instead of fixing their bugs and testing new releases before they come out instead of letting the community do their bug testing...
@@jan.kowalski negative? not really.. I've used tik since a very long time and although I like using tik, ROSv7 has been an absolute nightmare.. With every release they break new things, things that were working before are all of the sudden completely broken and new things that no one needs or wants are being added.. DLNA, adlists, .. all useless for a router. DLNA for example has been obsolete for almost a decade but still the mikrotik team insists on putting money and effort into developing the standard all over a gain instead of fixing what is broken and new releases don't even get tested if you look at the forum.. all the bugs that folks find that are pretty easy to spot if they had done any decent testing of the release before putting it out there..
Nice feature ! As others have said, it's not really on par with Pi-hole's features but it's a start ! I personally don't need all the features Pi-hole offers, so just being able to whitelist URLs and check requested URLs per device would be enough for me.
Great feature! Please consider adding a whitelist option that can override entries from adlists. The StevenBlack list works nicely but I need to unblock a couple of domains. I know I can download the list, edit it and upload the file to router. But having to do that regularly becomes tedious and I miss out on the auto-updating adlists feature.
Thats pretty awesome, though barebones. It would definitely benefit from the ability to comment each entry, and disable/enable them on-the-fly, just like usual adblock DNS'
Something prevented the download from URL. It could be incorrect SSL configuration, a firewall rule, DNS resolution problem or maybe just a typo in the URL.
@@mikrotik I'm having exactly the same problem. SSL verification is disabled, no firewall rule preventing it, dns resolution and typo can be ruled out since the same url worked when fetching the file on the router.
My Pihole currently uses a number of lists and merges them (allowing me to keep a list on a server of my own as well as using external list). Is this something that Mikrotik can add?
Is support for nftables or ip2tables support on containers in the works? there a many usecases and apllications that require this to function properly eg ION devices
@@TeeEllohwhydeeIf it is integrated into the router OS, what's better than that! Fortinet has got that. Maybe you want to run main on os not through container?
Ad blocking works well in general. The main thing I'd like to do is block RU-vid ads though, and all the lists I've found so far don't seem capable of doing so. After some reading, a lot of folks seem to think this is impossible - though there are multiple browser extensions that can and do accomplish exactly that. Can someone provide some context/clarity to this?
also, some times it's useful to pause ad blocking. can this feature be paused without disabling every single list? EDIT: nevermind, I see there's a pause feature in Winbox. could have mentioned that in the video.
@@mikrotik Thanks for reply! I'll have to wait the whitelist feature, since I have to block everything (especially unknown sites) allowing just the one needed for a specif software to run. There is an ETA or target build for this feature to come?
@@mikrotik I've successfully implemented DoH using your guide, and it's working great for my home network. However, I'm encountering an issue with the new DNS adlist feature. Despite setting up 6 ad-blocking lists, none of them seem to be matching when I use various DNS testers. Is it possible that the adlist feature is incompatible with DoH? Or am I missing a step in the configuration process?
of course not.. It can't beat Pi-Hole as Pi-hole does so much more and is easier to maintain and troubleshoot The adlist on tik does not even have any features, just add the list and be done with it, while in the real world we need to do so much more and be able to whitelist too
@@4L3xN3ti think it might be better for low ram devices, my ac2 seems to run out of ram from time to time when a container is running, i might just switch to an adlist since i just want to block ad websites
After adding, it will not download the file. Tried a few different things and ended up manually making the file myself after copying the links to a txt file. That does work but wont auto update. Hopefully that download issue could be fixed or has a fix to get it to work later on.
@@mikrotik Made that was off actually, also tried via winbox widget instead of cli. Looked over my firewall rules and cant see it getting blocked either.
what's the requirements for this to work? i tried it, using a file instead of the URL, name count was recorded or fetched correctly but match count doesn't. even when i open a website with ads, its as if nothing is blocked.
@@profkwl775 Same experience here, does not seem to do anything. Tried both with a local file and url. I'm running a newly-bought hAP ax2. OS reported as Version 7.15.3
how hard is that feature on internal flash memory? just in case i use this feature by downloading lists to connected usb memory and then refreshing adlist, but maybe it would be nice in the future to add option to select temp location for downloaded lists?
@@mikrotik that's why we continue to use pi hole. If it works on my rasp i would buy a level 4 license for routerOS. But don't get me wrong, i'll buy a Mikrotik hap ax model, they're amazing! But i can't decide. Hap AX lite AX2 or AX3. Please Mikrotik make it possible to run RouterOS on my PI devices!
DNS-level cannot and has never been able to block RU-vid ads since the ad injection is done at the scripting level on the browser, and possibly in the future directly into the video stream
Let me answer that question: Because Pi-Hole and AdGuard can do so much more than ROS yet another feature we don't need on a router instead of fixing bugs and testing releases before they come out
