Hi all, I am using Xubuntu 11.10
I simply cannot understand why the sites blocked in the hosts file are still accessible. In my old laptop it was a very straightforward operation.
I know that the hosts file is being read, because localhosts and dan are both redirected to 127.0.0.1
Anyway, if I type the following in terminal
The result is
Code:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 dan
127.0.0.1 http://vast.adjug.com/
127.0.0.1 http://www.facebook.com/
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
Any idea? Am I editing the wrong hosts file?
The only changes to the original hosts are the addition of the lines with the IPs, and I deleted some blank lines, before and after the IPV6 commented line, just to see if it would help.
Thank you very much for any tips
Dan
