Protecting your computer with a hosts file

+

19-11-2023

+

Sebsauvage has put together a great hosts file: + dns-blocklist +

+

+ DNS filtering is a simple way of blocking the majority of ads, trackers and malicious sites with minimum effort. Set-up is fast and easily reversible. +

+

On Linux

+sudo curl "https://sebsauvage.net/wiki/doku.php?do=export_code&id=dns-blocklist&codeblock=0" -o /etc/cron.weekly/hosts-update +sudo chmod +x /etc/cron.weekly/hosts-update +

+ Run the first update: +

+sudo /etc/cron.weekly/hosts-update +

On Windows

+

+ Windows networking is a steaming pile of manure, but you can still install this file with caveats. +
