- I install a custom hosts file ( http://someonewhocares.org/hosts/

or so it is claimed.
i saw post about it. pulled it. backed up my custom list. added custom list to it. copied it to new name. fired up wireshark. fired up firefox. surfed 10 sites. wireshark show it did not work. deleted it and temp file. re installed my list.
To test, I added the following to the long list:
127.0.0.1 google.com
I was then unable to ping or browse to google.com; but www.google.com worked just fine. Anyone know if you place wildcards in /etc/hosts? Something like:
*google.com

Hi,
you need to setup your own dns server, i may suggest dnsmasq (google for it) as it is lightweight, hosts file dont support wildcards.
