I've not noticed a performance hit, but I've been tearing my network up here recently, so it wouldn't surprise me.

Does e2Guardian handle URL blacklisting or just content type blacklisting?  I've not used it.

Interesting about the clients being able to connect, because when I originally had the YouTube stuff in there (since removed), YouTube would freak out and tell me I'm offline when it tried (and failed) to load an ad..  Dunno.

I say we call this is a serious work in progress, and look into the e2 suggestion..  If nothing else, we could probably modify the fixed script to update e2.

The original concept for this was from a project called PiHole, which used a Raspberry Pi as a DNS server to blacklist.  Think of it as a poor-man's Shield.  They didn't have mips support for the program itself, so I pulled the update streams to see if it could be adapted.
