etc/hosts working but not for faceCRook.com??? #269

After dozen of tests, I have figure out why Safari was not respecting the Hosts file. Disable IP6 (in fact, local only) and it respects the Hosts file!!! Probably the few other sites I have tested were not available on IP6. That problem though does not exist with Chrome!!! |

Do you disable IPv6? |

Please refer to this article, whose author had exact the same issue you had Also, it would be good to address the IPv6 configuration in the Host file section. |

Thanks @lebensterben. Yes that's the same problem. Though I don't use 127.0.0.1 but 0 (not even 0.0.0.0). I have red that using 127.0.0.1 needs 2 'redirections/connections' that 0.0.0.0 is better. That means that 0 is not 0 for IP6 ¯_(ツ)_/¯ I will try with 0.0.0.0 or ::0 perhaps it will work for IP6. |

If someone is interested, messenger, instagram, whatsapp and other FaceCRook sites needs to be added. Near the end of the CDN section is the beginning of a study of their format, give up as explained before, hosts is too limited. Not complete at all... |

The dnsmasq section of the guide shows an example of how to block entire domains, including sub-domains, like You could also use DNS Zone Transfer (AXRF), which I believe supports wildcards, though it is more complicated to configure. Something else one can do is block traffic to an organization by using That being said, it is worth pointing out in the hosts section of the guide that IPv6 addresses are different, and must use Also, |

Hello,
Safari and Firefox does not block it facebook.com, www.facebook.com etc etc even if they are in the 'hosts' file?!
In Chrome, it's blocked/allowed 'on the fly', un/comment the lines, it respects the hosts file.
Any other site/domain is blocked or allowed but not FaceCRook...
No matter what you do, clean dns, cache, reboot, no extension, no antivirus, whatever.
FB is disabled in Sys Pref - Extensions.
Do you have the same?
How to figure out what's going on?
It was working before but is it macOS High Sierra 10.13.2 (17C88)
Thanks a lot!
