rhosts

This reroutes urls to 0.0.0.0 and ::1 in order to block them from being reached. This is useful for blocking different types of content.

How to use

Open the config file:

    Linux: /etc/rhosts/rhosts.cfg

    Windows: \ProgramData\rhosts\rhosts.cfg

There are 3 types of entries: download, site, and whitelist. Downloads are downloaded and stripped of comments and bad entries if possible before being added to a list of sites. Whitelisted urls are removed from the list of sites. From there all the urls are added to the hosts file for both IPv4 and IPv6. You can also add comments by prepending with a '#'.

Example:

    # This is a static entry
    site=www.site.xyz
    # This is a download entry
    download=w3.site.xyz/location/to/config.txt
	# This is a whitelist entry
	whitelist=www.site.xyz
