Tons of great, small and useful utilities there. Kinda like Sysinternals-NirSoft-Puran utilities. Very useful!

Thanks! @orbitbooster

 

Use a tool named HostfileEditor worx like a charm

 

I may consider tiny wall so long as it works well, hosts is unchanged since I haven’t saved it yet so I’d just have to figure out how to block with it

 

i can open it,add changes and save it just like that by just using notepad.no need to run as admin or something like that.
using windows x-lite optimum 11 24H2.

 

When you install something from the sister site, the NFO always tells you what to do.
If it says to block with the HOST file, you should do it, and if it says to block with the FIREWALL, you should do it too.

Default Hosts File in Windows In Windows 10, the hosts file is located under %windir%\system32\drivers\etc, as in previous versions. On a freshly installed system, it only contains entries for localhost and commented-out lines with names from the acme.com domain. Editing it requires administrative privileges. Therefore, in companies, it will remain inaccessible to most users. Editing the hosts file is more of a concern for IT professionals or developers who have a useful application for it.

Examples - Allways: 127.0.0.1 Spaces then the Adress

127.0.0.1 register.waves.com
127.0.0.1 license02.sonible.com
127.0.0.1 activate.adobe.com

 

so noone really read or understood the question...
at the bottom in save as type, dont save as txt, select save as all files (*.*) and delete the txt extension in the filename

 

Also if Windows Defender comes with a warning after edit the host file..

SettingsModifier:Win32/
PossibleHostsFileHijack

..set it to an allowed warning!


I'm using Notepad3 as editor. Starting with admin privileges, edit the host file, save and set as read-only in Notepad3.
