    Hosts file is being ignored


    I tried blocking some websites with the hosts file and it completely gets ignored. I did all possible access ways for the website and still can access it. It's been awhile but either way I don't need to put all the possible ways, just what I type, no? e.g tenforums.com should still be blocked if I type it like that even if I left the other ways open.

    Flushed dns, removed and made the file again. Same thing. . The spacing etc on host file is also correct so not sure what the issue is. I use 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 as my dns server and Firefox with cloudflare dot (although same thing happens on other browsers too) W10 Pro 1909

    Thanks in advance

    :)

    Hosts file editing

    I have to jump in and say I use, and have used the host file for years. It's an easy way to take stress off of old name servers. I don't add everything, but major shares I do add to the host file. I've used the host file for some tunneling as well. I try to optimize my network as much as possible and I have a solid network. But Easy Rhino is right as well, you'll want to have everything he suggested as well. *Toast :toast:

    Hosts file being ignored

    I have 3 Windows 10 machines, and the hosts file is being ignored by ALL browsers (Edge, Chrome, Firefox) on ALL 3 machines. Yes, I know how to edit the hosts file, been doing it for 20 years. But just actually checked a few websites, and the 127.0.0.1
    entries are ignored (or not read at all).

    In the old days, there was a Registry Key pointing to the hosts file, at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\DataBasePath. The whole thing is still there EXCEPT for DataBasePath. What is going on???

    In addition, it now seems impossible to run Notepad as administrator, add entries, then save as "all files". Windows simply won't accept the "all files" choice and saves as .txt

    Any body have an idea about this? This is extremely problematic!

    Hosts file is being ignored

    Vanilla hosts file ( hosts file not working )

    From the OP it appears Hosts is not being changed, rather it is being ignored....
