= Fedora 19 or Greater=
Precusors -
This part of the process creates a file on your HDA which identifies where adverts originate from, and where to redirect them to.
* Create a new shell file
nano /usr/local/bin/get-adlistad-block-list.sh
* Copy and paste the following into it
#!/bin/sh
# Download the DNSmasq formatted ad block list
curl <nowiki>"http://pgl.yoyo.org/adservers/serverlist.php?hostformat=dnsmasq&showintro=0&mimetype=plaintext" </nowiki> | sed "s/127\.0\.0\.1/192.168.1.99/" > /etc/dnsmasq.adblock.conf
# Restart DNSmasq
service dnsmasq restart
* Change permissions on the shell file
chmod -v 755 /usr/local/bin/get-adlistad-block-list.sh
* Run the shell file
/usr/local/bin/get-adlistad-block-list.sh
==Change DNSMasq config==
* Edit pixelserv using a file editing program of your choice
nano /usr/local/bin/pixelserv
* Change the IP address to a free one of your choice (eg. 192.168.1.99)
* Change permissions
chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/pixelserv
* Create file /etc/init.d/pixelserv
* To stop pixelserv and close the virtual interface
/etc/init.d/pixelserv stop
To keep the list updated weekly, do the following:
ln -s /usr/local/bin/get-ad-block-list.sh /etc/cron.daily/get-ad-block-list
Enjoy ad-free network on ALL devices!
