Could anyone give some insight on how to install the audioz version? It's taken down on the main site so idk where else to ask. I have the keygen generated but when I try to activate it it keeps asking me to log in and asks for a serial number, and it doesnt give me any way to upload the generated file. I'm on a mac. Will appreciate any help, cheers!

 

Firewall your DAW so the plugin can't call out and is forced to work offline.
Or add this line to your HOSTS file:
127.0.0.1 userarea.d16.pl

 

What do you mean by host file? I past that where?

 

http://www.imore.com/how-edit-your-macs-hosts-file-and-why-you-would-want

It will route any connection to whatever domain (website) you add, to your local IP address 127.0.0.1 instead.
This blocks your computer from accessing that site.

If you can firewall your DAW to stop outbound connections it may be easier because it's only your DAW that can't get online.

Edit your HOSTS file and you won't be able to go to the blocked site with your browser or any program.

Finder > Applications > Utilities > Terminal

1. type sudo nano /etc/hosts and then hit return.
2. Enter your administrator password and then hit return.
3. Type "127.0.0.1 userarea.d16.pl" without the quotation marks
4. Ctrl+O to save
5. Ctrl+X to exit

CTRL click the ABOUT/OPTIONS to register Repeater..

If this seems too complicated bud, turn off your WIFI and disconnect from the internet to work offline when using your DAW and cracked plugins.

Excellent exposition good sir, just having you around is a public service...

 

@Pinkman offering help without segregation.. a rare thing these days

Have one or two semi-moronic Q too:
- how do you get the right IP to block? I mean "userarea. awesomesynth. eu" vs. "www. awesomesynth. com". By monitoring the req. from sw. I never had a problem /w this cause usually someone else already did the job for me..
- what do you think about sending to 0.0.0.0 instead of 127.0.0.1. I know "there is no place like 127... but some ppl. say it's the same (or even faster if the hosts file is big)

 

Yeah. Those guys/gals are pros. I just pass on the info, bro. Using a hex editor and the Find feature on a .dll or .exe you can usually get the right address to block.
Or use something like Wireshark.
Or the netstat command.

I've heard it speeds things up if you have a larger than average HOSTS file because it doesn't have to wait for a timeout. The difference is negligible on my system though. Also, if you're some kind of server head with an insanely large HOSTS file you can keep its file size down by just using 0 instead of 0.0.0.0

 

Well, since we're talking about host files.
I mentioned this before in another post but, Ill just leave it here again ICYMI.
This is for Windows
HostsMan
http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/hostsman.html

This is a freeware app for managing your hosts file on windows. It will let you back it up, edit, find duplicates, find and replace, and so on.
The main feature I use it for is to temporarily toggle the hosts file on and off with a button click, because sometimes you need to get to those IP's you blocked. The ability to find duplicates and merge is also great too, for those sister site plug updates that like to add stuff to it that was already there from the original install
