I use puppy linux and have done for quite a while now.i would like to use the hosts file for system wide ad blocking if possible. Is there any guide on how to achieve this please.? Thank you.
Hello @The Red Moon As old as the postings are, the topic at http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=1009505&sid=fde045318f3665677b673ff800ad8f11 does not start at a beginner level but it mentions sources with good value. Does your system have any content in /etc/hosts ? Cheers
Just add the following line to /etc/crontab: Code: @daily /usr/bin/wget -O /etc/hosts https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/alternates/fakenews-gambling-porn-social/hosts This downloads that hosts file (you can choose another one, of course) once a day and saves it as /etc/hosts.
