how to change Upstream DNS

Thanks for creating Adblock-lean. How to test; if it s working on lan side or not and I'm also wondering if there is way to change upstream encrypted or non encrypted DNS?

Not an issue just wanted to thank you

As the title says.

Just wanted to thank you here because I forgot the password https://forum.openwrt.org. LoL

It's been about 2 weeks using adblock-lean on MikroTik RBSXTsq2nD (SXTsq Lite2) without any problems.

It's a 16/64 device.
But for the first time I can use a "large" blocklist (Hagezi Multi NORMAL).
Note: even I tried Multi PRO (but people suggested Multi NORMAL).

Usually when I use the "large" blocklist on simple-adblock or now adblock-fast or adblock or dnscrypt-proxy2 I run out of RAM and adblock doesn't work anymore.

But not with adblock-lean!!!
I use it with wireguard to access public wifi without any problems.
I didn't even enable "initial_dnsmasq_restart".

And I usually need another router (actually an android tv box with openwrt) to run "ad blocker" with "large" blocklists.
Or a dns with blocklist.

Thank you this is really amazing.

Rogue Element identified in new blocklist

Hi noob question, may I know why I'm getting this error, what does rogue element means?

Rogue element: '447216: local=/antonio' identified in new blocklist.

By the way, I'm using hagezi blocklist. The rest of his blocklist are working but if I include the threat intelligence feed dnsmasq link provided, I got that error. Is this a compatibility issue?

Better way to wait for dnsmasq restart completion?

Right now we simply issue a sleep 10 call to wait for a dnsmasq restart before checking the new dnsmasq instance - see here:

adblock-lean/adblock-lean

Line 217 in 90f3d50

sleep 10

This is rather crude.

Surely there is a better way to wait until the dnsmasq restart has completed to avoid waiting unnecessarily long or, worse, not long enough?

@dave14305 and @Wizballs, any thoughts?
