1. In Magisk Manager settings enable 'Systemless hosts'.
2. Reboot.
3. Install AdAway. Do not change the 'Target hosts file' setting in AdAway (/system/etc/hosts).

So, just to be 100% clear, once Systemless hosts is enabled and you reboot, when the system thinks it is working with /system/etc/hosts, it is in fact working with a magisk hosts file?

Yup. As long as the option is enabled in Magisk. I've tested this out myself.

Just install unified Hosts AdBlock Module from the magisk download list, it has a gui now, no need to use terminal anymore, no need to install adaway.

If using this module, do we still need to enable systemless
hosts option in magisk setting?
Edit: Ok, the module instruction said it has to be enabled.
Edit1: It's so much easier to use AdAway :silly:

I've had problems with Magisk/Adaway and SafetyNet on Nougat:
I had no SafetyNet issues, then I activated the 'Systemless hosts' option in Magisk, installed Adaway and downloaded the hosts to the standard path (/system/etc/hosts), which - afaik - at that time should have been 'overmounted' (is that an english term?) with /Magisk/.core/hosts.
Unfortunately it didn't work and I lost SafetyNet (but also the ads, though).

No I updated to Oreo, have Magisk systemless root with SafetyNet compatibility restored and want to try my luck with Adaway again. But I'm a bit afraid of just doing the above steps again. Is there a way to check if Magisks systemless host feature works? Like a symlink in the shell or something?

Thanks a lot for your help, much appreciated!

Imho, As long as the ads are being blocked and safetynet passed, then all is working as they should

 

[smashedup]

Thanks for your reply wulfe13.

Yes, of course, in that case I'd be happy.
But like I said (or tried to say), I didn't pass SafetyNet test...

Strange.
Are you using Xposed on your device?

 

[smashedup]

Nope. No Xposed at the time of the Adaway activation.
Well, maybe I'll just give it a try again...

edit: and it worked! Adblocker + SafetyNet

It worked for me too on Oreo.
I just enabled the systemless adblock option in Magisk Manager. Then installed AdAway.
Ad blocker is working and SafetyNet passes.

How can I access the GUI of Unified Hosts AdBlock, when I click over the module, nothing happens.

Edit: I guess I need the app Unified Hosts Manager

The module installs a apk for controlling, if not u use a old version. Install it from the downloads which are avaible in the magisk apk and you're good and have the apk installed too.

the adaway i get from f-droid?

So i uninstalled Unified Hosts -> restart -> installed adaway -> Let is do its thing-> restart. Still see porn.

It is using /system/etc/hosts as host location.

I also tried different sites and cleared cache to confirm that the ads are not cached. Oh god i want xposed back. :crying:
