This section will document how to run your HDA as a network wide ad-blocking tool, utilising DNS redirects and a small pixel server.



Fedora 19

Precusors -

  • You'll need net-tools installed to use ifconfig
yum install net-tools
  • This guide assumes your network interface is named p2p1 and your HDA IP address is 192.168.1.2. Check with ifconfig, and change this guide where neccessary.


Get Ad List

nano /usr/local/bin/get-adlist.sh
#!/bin/sh
# Down the DNSmasq formatted ad block list
curl "http://pgl.yoyo.org/adservers/serverlist.php?hostformat=dnsmasq&showintro=0&mimetype=plaintext" | sed "s/127\.0\.0\.1/192.168.1.99/" > /etc/dnsmasq.adblock.conf
# Restart DNSmasq
/etc/init.d/dnsmasq restart
chmod -v 755 /usr/local/bin/get-adlist.sh
/usr/local/bin/get-adlist.sh

Change DNSMasq config

echo "conf-file=/etc/dnsmasq.adblock.conf" >> /etc/dnsmasq.conf
service dnsmasq restart

Bind Apache to main IP address

  • Edit the Apache config file using a file editor:
nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
  • Add your HDAs IP address to this section in the conf file:
#
# Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or
# ports, instead of the default. See also the <VirtualHost>
# directive.
#
# Change this to Listen on specific IP addresses as shown below to
# prevent Apache from glomming onto all bound IP addresses.
#
#Listen 12.34.56.78:80
Listen 192.168.1.2:80
  • Restart Apache
service httpd restart


Pixel Server

  • You need to download Pixelserv to the HDA:
wget http://proxytunnel.sourceforge.net/files/pixelserv.pl.txt 
  • Move and rename the Pixelserv binary:
mv pixelserv.pl.txt /usr/local/bin/pixelserv
  • Edit pixelserv using a file editing program of your choice
nano pixelserv
  • Change the IP address to a free one of your choice (eg. 192.168.1.99)
$sock = new IO::Socket::INET (  LocalHost => '0.0.0.0',

change to

$sock = new IO::Socket::INET (  LocalHost => '192.168.1.99',
  • Change permissions
chmod 755 /usr/local/pixelserv 

  • Create file /etc/init.d/pixelserv
nano /etc/init.d/pixelserv

and copy the following to it (changing the IP addresses where neccessary):

#! /bin/sh
# /etc/init.d/pixelserv
#

# Carry out specific functions when asked to by the system
case "$1" in
   start)
     echo "Creating Interface "
     ifconfig p2p1:0 192.168.1.99
     echo "Starting pixelserv "
     /usr/local/bin/pixelserv &
     ;;
   stop)
     echo "Stopping script pixelserv"
     pkill -9 pixelserv &
     echo "Killing Interface "
     ifconfig p2p1:0 down
     ;;
   *)
     echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/pixelserv {start|stop}"
     exit 1
     ;;
esac
exit 0
  • Change permissions
chmod 755 /etc/init.d/pixelserv


Enjoy ad-free network on ALL devices!
