FREE, not 'souled-out' to advertisers + adds speed, security & reliability. Does FAR more w/ FAR less more efficiently vs. redundant browser addons & locally installed DNS servers @ home + fixes DNS' many security issues & it stops a LOT of tracking @ webpage + DNS levels combined too from 1 file you NATIVELY have - firewalls do the rest (on lesser used IP address based tracking vs. host-domain name type).

Kaminsky redirect poisoning - 99.999% of ISP DNS aren't patched vs. it.

Open DNS resolvers (not OpenDNS) get exploited by malware A LOT!

Rogue DNS servers are DNS exploit (even in routers not just system IP stack settings).

* Using hosts w/ fav sites you hardcode in 'em YOU AVOID ALL THOSE DNS SECURITY ISSUES ABOVE easily & IT RESOLVES FAR FASTER THAN CALLING TO REMOTE DNS SERVERS (especially exploited or downed ones noted (dns goes down a LOT)).

---

Hosts combined w/ OpenDNS compliment one other.

I don't resolve 'every host-domain there is' via hosts, only my favs @ top of hosts (20 of 'em beating indexing past 2++ million records).

It's where ANYONE spends MOST OF THEIR TIME online - & it's faster + more efficient vs. calling to remote DNS servers.

Placement of favs thus, for FAST RESOLUTION from memory locally (hosts cache like any file) additionally saves CPU cycles, RAM, + I/O turning off a slower usermode clientside DNS cache service instead opting for the kernelmode diskcache (no context switch overhead to the IP stack either this way).

The rest of my hosts files' entries are 3,782,195++ blocked entries vs. malware & ads of many kinds.

I use REMOTE FILTERING DNS SERVERS blocking out malicious sites/servers/hosts-domains via DNS blocking (not locally here as a separate redundant wasteful recursive server or a service/daemon).

---

OpenDNS:

208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

---

It LIGHTENS remote DNS loads - admins of 'em should like it! Especially since DNS goes down a LOT!

How do I make my hosts (& do reverse dns pings for FAV sites for faster, more reliable, & safer connections)?

APK Hosts File Engine 9.0++ SR-2 32/64-bit http://start64.com/index.php?o...

With much easier understood & edited data vs. DNS rules by far.

APK

P.S.=> Locally setup DNS eats more cpu, RAM, & I/O needlessly (hosts do the job w/ less complexity + room for exploit, actually COMPLIMENTING remote dns) & MORE ELECTRICAL POWER (especially if setup as a separate machine)... apk

"modern exploits are due to vulnerabilities in browsers and the internet itself" - by erp_consultant (2614861) on Wednesday November 18, 2015

See subject & APK Hosts File Engine 9.0++ SR-2 32/64-bit http://start64.com/index.php?o...

It protects vs. malware serving sites, maliciously scripted sites, botnets (freezing their communications even IF you have one inside the perimeter already (bonus)), trackers, DNS Security issues (kaminsky redirect poisoning, Open DNS Servers (not OpenDNS) being abused, rogue dns servers, routers + OS ip stack dns settings poisoned (ala DNSChanger)), & increases speed 2 ways (hardcoded favorite sites you spend MOST of your online time @, placed @ the top of hosts for the tumost in speed of resolution as hosts is cached into RAM which also increases reliability (double-bonus) + adblocking), & also reliability of connectivity (If dns is hijacked as noted earlier) + anonymity (vs. DNS request logs).

APK

P.S.=> MS should fix hosts (they removed the ability to use 0 vs. 0.0.0.0 as a valid blocking address circa 10/2009's "patch tuesday" in Win7 onward (yet it STILL WORKS JUST FINE in 2000/XP/Server 2003 that way)!

&

Even their then "VP of the Client Performance Division" who discussed this w/ me AGREED I WAS CORRECT ON IT -> http://slashdot.org/comments.p... in that it creates a SMALLER & FASTER hosts file to initially load!

(In fact, literally 30% smaller in my case with 3,813,455++ entries & growing (mostly known bad sites &/or botnets + trackers blocked, & 24 favorites sites @ the top of hosts as noted above earlier))... apk

5.) Protect vs. downed DNS (4 reliability)
6.) Protect vs. DNS redirect poisoning
7.) Protect vs. trackers
8.) Protect vs. spam
9.) Protect vs. phish
10.) Protect vs. caps
11.) Get you past dns blocks
12.) Keep you off dns request logs
13.) Speed up surfing (adblock & hardcoded favs)
14.) Works on anything webbound multiplatform.
15.) EZ data control
16.) Do all that & block ads better vs. addons more efficiently

* ANSWER ="NO" on ab+ doing it as well or @ ALL + hosts = on devices natively.

P.S.=> Ab+ does less vs. hosts less efficiently - hosts do MORE w/ less + Hosts start w/ IP stack before REDUNDANT inefficient addons BEGIN operation (as 1st resolver).

Kaminsky redirect poisoning - 99.999% of ISP DNS aren't patched vs. it.

Open DNS resolvers (not OpenDNS) get exploited by malware A LOT!

Rogue DNS servers are DNS exploit (even in routers not just system IP stack settings).

* Using hosts w/ fav sites you hardcode in 'em YOU AVOID ALL THOSE DNS SECURITY ISSUES ABOVE easily & IT RESOLVES FAR FASTER THAN CALLING TO REMOTE DNS SERVERS (especially exploited or downed ones noted (dns goes down a LOT)).

---

Hosts combined w/ OpenDNS compliment one other.

I don't resolve 'every host-domain there is' via hosts, only my favs @ top of hosts (20 of 'em beating indexing past 2++ million records).

It's where ANYONE spends MOST OF THEIR TIME online - & it's faster + more efficient vs. calling to remote DNS servers.

Placement of favs thus, for FAST RESOLUTION from memory locally (hosts cache like any file) additionally saves CPU cycles, RAM, + I/O turning off a slower usermode clientside DNS cache service instead opting for the kernelmode diskcache (no context switch overhead to the IP stack either this way).

The rest of my hosts files' entries are 3,782,195++ blocked entries vs. malware & ads of many kinds.

I use REMOTE FILTERING DNS SERVERS blocking out malicious sites/servers/hosts-domains via DNS blocking (not locally here as a separate redundant wasteful recursive server or a service/daemon).

---

OpenDNS:

208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

---

It LIGHTENS remote DNS loads - admins of 'em should like it! Especially since DNS goes down a LOT!

How do I make my hosts (& do reverse dns pings for FAV sites for faster, more reliable, & safer connections)?

APK

P.S.=> By "yours truly" - "The Lord of Hosts" so-to-speak:

"The image this title brings to mind is of a mighty military commander, one who can at a mere word summon rank upon rank of protective power" from https://answers.yahoo.com/ques... & THAT WORD = hosts!

(Accept NO substitutes!)

...apk

Kaminsky redirect poisoning - 99.999% of ISP DNS aren't patched vs. it.

Open DNS resolvers (not OpenDNS) get exploited by malware A LOT!

Rogue DNS servers are DNS exploit (even in routers not just system IP stack settings).

* Using hosts w/ fav sites you hardcode in 'em YOU AVOID ALL THOSE DNS SECURITY ISSUES ABOVE easily & IT RESOLVES FAR FASTER THAN CALLING TO REMOTE DNS SERVERS (especially exploited or downed ones noted (dns goes down a LOT)).

---

Hosts combined w/ OpenDNS compliment one other.

I don't resolve 'every host-domain there is' via hosts, only my favs @ top of hosts (20 of 'em beating indexing past 2++ million records).

It's where ANYONE spends MOST OF THEIR TIME online - & it's faster + more efficient vs. calling to remote DNS servers.

Placement of favs thus, for FAST RESOLUTION from memory locally (hosts cache like any file) additionally saves CPU cycles, RAM, + I/O turning off a slower usermode clientside DNS cache service instead opting for the kernelmode diskcache (no context switch overhead to the IP stack either this way).

The rest of my hosts files' entries are 3,782,195++ blocked entries vs. malware & ads of many kinds.

I use REMOTE FILTERING DNS SERVERS blocking out malicious sites/servers/hosts-domains via DNS blocking (not locally here as a separate redundant wasteful recursive server or a service/daemon).

OpenDNS:

208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

---

It LIGHTENS remote DNS loads - admins of 'em should like it! Especially since DNS goes down a LOT!

How do I make my hosts (& do reverse dns pings for FAV sites for faster, more reliable, & safer connections)?

APK Hosts File Engine 9.0++ SR-2 32/64-bit http://start64.com/index.php?o...

With much easier understood & edited data vs. DNS rules by far.

APK

P.S.=> Locally setup DNS eats more cpu, RAM, & I/O needlessly (hosts do the job w/ less complexity + room for exploit, actually COMPLIMENTING remote dns) & MORE ELECTRICAL POWER (especially if setup as a separate machine)... apk

Can ublock do 16 things hosts do for speed, security, & reliability:

1.) Protect vs. malicious sites (past ads)
2.) Protect vs. fastflux botnets + stop C&C communique
3.) Protect vs. dyndns botnets + stop C&C communique
4.) Protect vs. DGA botnets + stop C&C communique
5.) Protect vs. downed DNS (4 reliability)
6.) Protect vs. redirect poisoned dns
7.) Protect vs. trackers
8.) Protect vs. spam
9.) Protect vs. phishing
10.) Protect vs. caps
11.) Get you by dns blocking
12.) Keep you off dns request logs
13.) Speed up surfing by adblocks & hardcoded favs
14.) Work on anything webbound (ie email programs) multiplatform.
15.) Give you easily controlled data
16.) Do those & block ads better than addons more efficiently in cpu + memory use

* ANSWER ="NO" to each on UBlock doing it as well or @ all!

APK

P.S.=> UBlock does less than hosts & less efficiently - hosts do MORE w/ less + Hosts start w/ the IP stack before REDUNDANT inefficient addons BEGIN to operate (as 1st resolver queried):

Ublock's NOT as efficient:

Hosts @ 3mb-11mb w/ current data vs. threats + ads - test yourself using my program.

UBlock uses 63++ MB -> http://www.ghacks.net/2014/06/...

ClarityRay defeats it detecting it by dumping addons in use in a browser via native browser methods to do so!

---

UBlock adds complexity/room for breakdown/exploit + from a slower mode of operations (usermode = more messagepassing overheads vs. hosts in kernelmode).

WINDOWS MAGAZINE, 1997, "Top Freeware & Shareware of the Year" issue page 210, #1/first entry in fact (my work is there)

PC-WELT FEB 1998 - page 84, again, my work is featured there

WINDOWS MAGAZINE, WINTER 1998 - page 92, insert section, MUST HAVE WARES, my work is again, there

PC-WELT FEB 1999 - page 83, again, my work is featured there

CHIP Magazine 7/99 - page 100, my work is there

GERMAN PC BOOK, Data Becker publisher "PC Aufrusten und Repairen" 2000, where my work is contained in it

HOT SHAREWARE Numero 46 issue, pg. 54 (PC ware mag from Spain), 2001 my work is there, first one featured, yet again!

Also, a British PC Mag in 2002 for many utilities I wrote, saw it @ BORDERS BOOKS but didn't buy it... by that point, I had moved onto other areas in this field besides coding only...

Being paid for an article that made me money over @ PCPitstop in 2008 for writing up a guide that has people showing NO VIRUSES/SPYWARES & other screwups, via following its point, such as THRONKA sees here -> http://www.xtremepccentral.com...

It's also been myself helping out the folks at the UltraDefrag64 project (a 64-bit defragger for Windows), in showing them code for how to do Process Priority Control @ the GUI usermode/ring 3/rpl 3 level in their program (good one too), & being credited for it by their lead dev & his team... see here -> http://ultradefrag.sourceforge... or here http://sourceforge.net/tracker...

Which ended up fixing a "bug" for them later, here -> http://sourceforge.net/p/ultra... via its implementation (partially, NOT fully implemented yet as I outline it & use in my applications such as this one -> http://www.start64.com/index.p...
