I don't understand how to write this command/
1.Install the software.
2.Run Terminal.
Input the command.
$ sudo nano /private/etc/hosts (I press enter or not?))
Add the line ( what does it mean just write the following text with space or without space,...on the same line or under ??)
127.0.0.1 www.swamengine.com.
Save & Exit.( write this text or use a fonction in Terminal to save and exit ??)
Input the command. ( I open Terminal at new write the text and and press enter ?)
$ dscacheutil -flushcache
Hosts patch is done!

Thanx to help me I don't know how to use Terminal ... maybe some tutto ?

 

just use Little Snitch and block connections using it

 

Do you mean I don't need to do the patch on terminal ? Just use the keygen ?

 

Let me explain a bit what you're doing here, to make it easier for you...

sudo - command that says "I'm an administrator". it is necessary to use it when messing with system files.
nano - command to start "nano" text editor.
/private/etc/hosts is the path to the "hosts" file.

Commands in a terminal are entered as a sequence of commands [with a space between commands] and executed by pressing "enter". So you are using an administrator command to start the "nano" text editor to edit the "hosts" file.

Putting "127.0.0.1 www.swamengine.com" in the host file and saving it with "ctrl+o", then exiting nano or just closing the terminal, means you want to block this website by routing it to a local address, which is a common practice for blocking the OS from being able to reach a certain internet address.

easy-peasy, eh?

Cheers!
