 Traditionally most host files use `127.0.0.1`, the *loopback address*, to establish an IP connection to the local machine.

 interfere with a web server that may be running on the local PC.

 interfere with a web server that may be running on the local PC.

 ## Extensions
-The unified hosts file is extensible.  Extensions are used to block domains by category.  

-Extensions are optional, and are added to the base hosts file.  Extensions are combined in various ways wth the default hosts file, and the combined products are stored in the [`alternates`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/alternates) folder.
+The unified hosts file is optionally extensible.  Extensions are used to include domains by category.  Currently, we offer the following categories: `fakenews`, `social`, `gambling`, and `porn`.

-For example, you may want to block porn domains in addition to the adware and malware we block by default.  That hosts file is stored in the porn subfolder of the [`alternates`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/alternates) folder.  
+Extensions are optional, and can be combined in various ways with the base hosts file.  The combined products are stored in the [`alternates`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/alternates) folder.

-Data for extensions is stored in the [`extensions`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/extensions) folder. You manage extensions by curating the
-[`extensions`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/extensions)  folder tree where you will find the data for `fakenews`, `social`, `gambling`, and `porn` extension data that we maintain and provide for you.

 interfere with a web server that may be running on the local PC.

 ## We recommend using `0.0.0.0` instead of `127.0.0.1`

 Traditionally most host files use `127.0.0.1`, the *loopback address*, to establish an IP connection to the local machine.

-We prefer to use `0.0.0.0`, which is defined as a non-routable meta-address used to designate an invalid, unknown,
-or non applicable target.
+We prefer to use `0.0.0.0`, which is defined as a non-routable meta-address used to designate an invalid, unknown, or non-applicable target.

 Using `0.0.0.0` is empirically faster, possibly because there's no wait for a timeout resolution. It also does not
 interfere with a web server that may be running on the local PC.

 We tried that.  Using `0` doesn't work universally.


 ## Location of your hosts file
+
 To modify your current `hosts` file, look for it in the following places and modify it with a text
 editor.

-**Mac OS X, iOS, Android, Linux**: `/etc/hosts` file.
+**macOS (until 10.14.x macOS Mojave), iOS, Android, Linux**: `/etc/hosts` file.
+
+**macOS Catalina:** `/private/etc/hosts` file.

 **Windows**: `%SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts` file.

 manually flush your DNS cache once the new hosts file is in place.

 Traditionally most host files use `127.0.0.1`, the *loopback address*, to establish an IP connection to the local machine.

 interfere with a web server that may be running on the local PC.

-* [Unified Hosts AutoUpdate](https://github.com/ScriptTiger/Unified-Hosts-AutoUpdate "Unified Hosts AutoUpdate") (for Windows): The Unified Hosts AutUpdate package is purpose-built for this unified hosts project as well as in active development by community members. It's sophisticated enough to allow any novice the ability to install and uninstall the blacklist of their choosing to their local hosts file and keep it automatically up to date, while also being minimal enough to be able to be easily placed in a shared network location and deployed across an organization via group policies. And since it is in active development by community members, your bug reports, feature requests, and other feedback are most welcome.

 Traditionally most host files use `127.0.0.1`, the *loopback address*, to establish an IP connection to the local machine.

 interfere with a web server that may be running on the local PC.

 devices under a variety of operating systems.

 ## Third-Party Hosts Managers

-* [Unified Hosts AutoUpdate](https://github.com/ScriptTiger/Unified-Hosts-AutoUpdate "Unified Hosts AutoUpdate") (for Windows): The Unified Hosts AutUpdate package is purpose-built for this unified hosts project as well as in active development by community members. It's sophisticated enough to allow any novice the ability to install and uninstall the blacklist of their choosing to their local hosts file and keep it automatically up to date, while also being minimal enough to be able to be easily placed in a shared network location and deployed across an organization via group policies. And since it is in active development by community members, your bug reports, feature requests, and other feedback are most welcome.

 ## Interesting Applications

-* [Pi-hole](https://pi-hole.net/) is a network-wide DHCP server and ad blocker that runs on [Raspberry Pi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi). Pi-hole uses this repository as one of its sources.     This is a very interesting project to setup yourself, or you can [buy one pre-loaded](https://uk.pi-supply.com/products/pi-hole-kit-network-wide-ad-blocker).
+* [Hostile](https://github.com/feross/hostile) is a nifty command line utility to easily add or remove domains from your hosts file.  If our hosts files are too aggressive for you, you can use `hostile` to remove domains, or you can use `hostile` in a bash script to automate a post process each time you download fresh versions of hosts.
+
+* [macOS Scripting for Configuration, Backup and Restore](https://github.com/tiiiecherle/osx_install_config) helps customizing, re-installing and using macOS. It also provides a [script](https://github.com/tiiiecherle/osx_install_config/blob/master/09_launchd/9b_run_on_boot/root/1_hosts_file/launchd_and_script/hosts_file_generator.sh) to install and update the hosts file using this project on macOS. In combination with a [launchd](https://github.com/tiiiecherle/osx_install_config/blob/master/09_launchd/9b_run_on_boot/root/1_hosts_file/launchd_and_script/com.hostsfile.install_update.plist) it updates the hosts file every x days (default is 4). To install both download the GitHub repo and run the [install script](https://github.com/tiiiecherle/osx_install_config/blob/master/09_launchd/9b_run_on_boot/root/1_hosts_file/install_hosts_file_generator_and_launchdservice.sh) from the directory one level up.

 * [Block ads and malware via local BIND9 DNS server](https://github.com/mueller-ma/block-ads-via-dns "Block ads and malware via local DNS server") (for Debian, Raspbian & Ubuntu): Set up a local DNS server with a `/etc/bind/named.conf.blocked` file, sourced from here.

-* [Block ads, malware, and deploy parental controls via local DualServer DNS/DHCP server](https://scripttiger.github.io/dualserver "Block ads, malware, and deploy parental controls via local DualServer DNS/DHCP server") (for BSD, Windows & Linux): Set up a blacklist for everyone on your network using the power of the unified hosts reformatted for DualServer. And if you're on Windows, this project also maintains an update script to make updating DualServer's blacklist even easier.

 Traditionally most host files use `127.0.0.1`, the *loopback address*, to establish an IP connection to the local machine.

 interfere with a web server that may be running on the local PC.

The script is short and easily edited, also has a short document attached with notes on dnsmasq setup.

 ## Extensions

 ## Extensions
-The unified hosts file is extensible.  Extensions are used to block domains by category.  

-Extensions are optional, and are added to the base hosts file.  Extensions are combined in various ways wth the default hosts file, and the combined products are stored in the [`alternates`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/alternates) folder.
+The unified hosts file is optionally extensible.  Extensions are used to include domains by category.  Currently, we offer the following categories: `fakenews`, `social`, `gambling`, and `porn`.

-For example, you may want to block porn domains in addition to the adware and malware we block by default.  That hosts file is stored in the porn subfolder of the [`alternates`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/alternates) folder.  
+Extensions are optional, and can be combined in various ways with the base hosts file.  The combined products are stored in the [`alternates`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/alternates) folder.

 interfere with a web server that may be running on the local PC.

Then signal the existence of your repo as [a new issue](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/issues) and we may include your new repo into the collection of sources we pull whenever we create new versions.

 Traditionally most host files use `127.0.0.1`, the *loopback address*, to establish an IP connection to the local machine.

 Using `0.0.0.0` is empirically faster, possibly because there's no wait for a timeout resolution. It also does not
 interfere with a web server that may be running on the local PC.

 Traditionally most host files use `127.0.0.1`, the *loopback address*, to establish an IP connection to the local machine.

 interfere with a web server that may be running on the local PC.

 ## Third-Party Hosts Managers

-* [Unified Hosts AutoUpdate](https://github.com/ScriptTiger/Unified-Hosts-AutoUpdate "Unified Hosts AutoUpdate") (for Windows): The Unified Hosts AutUpdate package is purpose-built for this unified hosts project as well as in active development by community members. It's sophisticated enough to allow any novice the ability to install and uninstall the blacklist of their choosing to their local hosts file and keep it automatically up to date, while also being minimal enough to be able to be easily placed in a shared network location and deployed across an organization via group policies. And since it is in active development by community members, your bug reports, feature requests, and other feedback are most welcome.

 Traditionally most host files use `127.0.0.1`, the *loopback address*, to establish an IP connection to the local machine.

 interfere with a web server that may be running on the local PC.

 Traditionally most host files use `127.0.0.1`, the *loopback address*, to establish an IP connection to the local machine.

 interfere with a web server that may be running on the local PC.

 interfere with a web server that may be running on the local PC.

 interfere with a web server that may be running on the local PC.

+### Basic hosts
+
+Basic hosts are domains that purvey advertising, malware, tracking, coin

+automatically by `/updateHostsFile.py` which iterates all the subfolders within `./data`.
+
+### Optional hosts extensions
+
+Hosts extensions include domains that push potentially addictive content like `porn`, `fake news`,
+`gambling`, and `social` media.
+
+The [/extensions](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/extensions) folder holds
+metadata and latest hosts for all our basic hosts sources. The hosts are updated
+automatically by `/updateHostsFile.py` which iterates all the subfolders within `./extensions`.

+
+### Basic hosts
+

+just adware, malware, etc, is stored in the root folder of this repository.

 interfere with a web server that may be running on the local PC.

 Using `0.0.0.0` is empirically faster, possibly because there's no wait for a timeout resolution. It also does not
 interfere with a web server that may be running on the local PC.

+## Why not use `0` instead of `0.0.0.0`?

 We tried that.  Using `0` doesn't work universally.


 ## Location of your hosts file
+
 To modify your current `hosts` file, look for it in the following places and modify it with a text
 editor.

-**Mac OS X, iOS, Android, Linux**: `/etc/hosts` file.
+**macOS (until 10.14.x macOS Mojave), iOS, Android, Linux**: `/etc/hosts` file.
+
+**macOS Catalina:** `/private/etc/hosts` file.

 **Windows**: `%SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts` file.

 manually flush your DNS cache once the new hosts file is in place.

-* [Unified Hosts AutoUpdate](https://github.com/ScriptTiger/Unified-Hosts-AutoUpdate "Unified Hosts AutoUpdate") (for Windows): The Unified Hosts AutUpdate package is purpose-built for this unified hosts project as well as in active development by community members. It's sophisticated enough to allow any novice the ability to install and uninstall the blacklist of their choosing to their local hosts file and keep it automatically up to date, while also being minimal enough to be able to be easily placed in a shared network location and deployed across an organization via group policies. And since it is in active development by community members, your bug reports, feature requests, and other feedback are most welcome.
