i significantly improved my browser load speed by blocking. however.. the page still crashes when i get to artic's fap list
thank you guys for teaching us how to hostfile

 

I'm not sure either about slowing down my machine -not noticing a difference after coping the long sheet provided by the other guys- and I'm using an old fart single core winXP x86

 

Noob question but what's the benefit for us audio people to block all this crap?

 

Thanks SAint. Hope All is well with you.

 

I have it, hope AS server won't mind me sharing my hosts file

It's just a snapshot (only 5% out of 100%) of my hosts file

Spoiler: hosts

As always....nice to see this community share..........

Next could u share ur SS# and credit card #......just for "comparison"

 

Are you sure?
Because mine is 890 Ko and my connection is not too long.

 

Let's collect all the correct IP adresses which have to be blocked in the "hosts" file.
For the cracked audio software. So that they don't timebomb or call home.

Pls no discussion if this works or not, other methods an so on. Let's just collect in this thread.

I begin:

Vengance/Avenger:
127.0.0.1 217.160.0.45
127.0.0.1 217.160.0.171
127.0.0.1 www.vps-avenger.com
127.0.0.1 vengeance-sound.com
127.0.0.1 support.vengeance-sound.com

Polyversemusic
127.0.0.1 polyversemusic.com

Accusonus 127.0.0.1
www.accusonus.api-us1.com

127.0.0.1 www-r2rdownload-com (replace - with . )
127.0.0.1 www-elephantafiles-com (replace - with . )

Wouldn't it be the best way to set up a virtual PC with avenger and wireshark or whatever VST you´ll use ?

By the way this list will end up in chaos the way it starts.

Start with companies with A and go to Z.
Maybe an Excel list with public domain setting .... google documents ?

Interesting initiative.
But it's in the wrong section, as it have nothing to do with "presets". I'll change it.
The second problem is that you inevitably link to warez, so please, replace dots with -

 

Have to say, I think this is a great idea!
I'm just going through some folders, as I know I did have a list of about 70 devs I used to have to block befoe I got Little Snitch.
Hopefully I can find that text file!
Maybe some may have changed over time though.

 

For the macOS people, just use Little Snitch and be done with it. You don't need to add any IPs anywhere, just say "block" when asked if a connection from any of the plugins should be allowed. And it doesn't affect your browser, you can still lookup the corresponding websites.

 

Hey @Foobar

Also, if you use LS properly, you wouldn't have to constantly not allow when "asked", because you can create new rules.
But I know what you mean!
Let's just collate ip addresses here. I think it's useful.
If we use both ways, pretty solid imo.

 

it is actually

org not com

That´s the cool part about open software
You can change that in the excel file.

 

Yeah, I have never had much of a problem with that myself, I also use HandsOff, which can be a little more user friendly, but off the top of my head, I don't know what it can do less or more... our friend @taskforce probably knows, or @Pinkman , but I think I bother them enough! . Regardless, my work machines, or partitions are normally offline anyways when I am working, as a. I like the focus, and b. don't have to worry as much about any of that noise. (or other noise with notifications or whatnot), and I always have a secondary machine next to me for email and browsing and whatnot... I know that makes things more complicated and more crap around... I just have been doing it this way for so long.... plus I don't update my work machines as much as say I would my laptops as stability>> new & shiny...

although it is time for my "once every other year" OSX update lol... (and even then I'm always 2 behind... as hell, I've been in some recording projects lately where I haven't wanted to switch ships midstream, but right now is a good time of hiatus.... I am going to be so brave as to go to Sierra hahaha...(from Mavericks)...

OT, sorry guys...

 

@sisyphus @Foobar So far it's right what both of you say and it will be enough on first sight but some of those plugins/apps are using services for calling home with names you wouldn't associate with them in the first place. So you have to see the host file as a second security layer. Or let the firewall crash somehow in the background without noticing it (it still is a computer, these things happen) then the host file still keeps protecting your k'ed software from calling home.

 

elephantfiles.com and r2rdownload.com doesn't exist anymore.

Should be replace by CloudGhost.net and goaudio.cc

If R2R see that
