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
