Hostsblock is a bash script for Linux designed to take advantage
|
|
of the /etc/hosts file to provide system-wide blocking of internet
|
|
advertisements, malicious domains, trackers, and other undesirable
|
|
content. To do so, it downloads a configurable set of blocklists and
|
|
processes and their entries into a singular file.
|
|
|
|
The SlackBuild assumes that dnsmasq is not available so it
|
|
will configure hostsblock to overwrite the current /etc/hosts
|
|
file. The install script will backup the current /etc/hosts file to
|
|
/etc/hostsblock/hosts.head if it does not already exist.
|
|
|
|
After uninstalling hostsblock, you should copy hosts.head back to
|
|
/etc/hosts.
|
|
|
|
To have hostsblock automatically update /etc/hosts once a week, run:
|
|
ln -sf /usr/sbin/hostsblock /etc/cron.weekly/hostsblock
