# 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.
```sh
python3 updateHostsFile.py --auto --extensions porn social gambling
```
or, in short form:
```sh
python3 updateHostsFile.py -a -e porn social gambling
```
