Raspberry Pi Wireless Internet router and Filter with RaspAP

I have built a Raspberry Pi Wireless Internet router and Filter with RaspAP.  I tried a Raspberry Pi model 3 but out of three tries it only worked once. 

But with the Raspberry Pi model 4 came right up and ran.  All you need to connect is power and a ethernet cable for it to work!


In terminal type: curl -sL https://install.raspap.com | bash

Then I answered the many questions as follows:

Create Dir - Y

Complete - Y

Cookies - Y

Control - Y

Congestion - Y

AD Block - Y

Open VPN - N

RestAPI - N

Wireguard - N

VPN Client - N

Reset - Y

Once it is up and running, set the DNS server to 1.0.0.3 and 1.1.1.3 to block the porn sites.

This does a great job of blocking porn, but it also blocks the Ad blocker!  I have not found a solution to this issue yet.  It cannot update but it also delets the database when it cannot update!

Another issue is the built in antenna only has a 20 foot range.  I will be adding an external antenna and will see how that increases the range.
