Extensions

Use subfolders under this extensions folder to house data sources for extensions to the default unified hosts file.

Currently, this repo includes data sources for four extensions:

  • fakenews for fake news sites.
  • gambling for common online betting sites,
  • porn for porn sites, and
  • social for common social media sites,

Here are some sample calls, which vary which extensions are included.

Using the updateHostsFile.py script:

Create a hosts file that includes domain blocking for porn, social media, and gambling.

python3 updateHostsFile.py --auto --extensions porn social gambling

or, in short form:

python3 updateHostsFile.py -a -e porn social gambling
