Updates /etc/hosts with the mvps blocklist to prevent thousands of parasites, hijackers and unwanted adware/spyware/privacy websites from working.
-
Edit /etc/hosts.local to match the hostname of your system and adjust the domainname as needed. Also add any hosts that you wish to keep i.e. other PCs on your network.
-
Run the script as root which will append /etc/hosts.local to the mvps blocklist and apply some post processing writing the final file to /etc/hosts automatically.
-
(Optional) Add a cronjob under root crontab at some interval to keep your /etc/hosts fresh.
