+# Limited to the extensions: fakenews, gambling
+
+This repository consolidates several reputable `hosts` files, and merges them
+into a unified hosts file with duplicates removed. A variety of tailored hosts
+files are provided.
+
+**Therefore this repository is a hosts file aggregator.**
+
+![Aggregator](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/aggregator.png)
+
+- Last updated: **June 12 2023**.
+- Here's the
+  [raw hosts file Limited to the extensions: fakenews, gambling](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/alternates/fakenews-gambling-only/hosts)
+  containing 9,771 entries.
+
+
+
+## List of all hosts file variants
+
+This repository offers
+[15 different host file variants](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/alternates),
+in addition to the base variant, with and without the unified hosts included.
+
+The **Non GitHub mirror** is the link to use for some hosts file managers like
+[Hostsman for Windows](https://www.abelhadigital.com/hostsman/) that don't work
+with GitHub download links.

+
+
+## Extensions
+
+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`.
+
+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 are stored in the
+[`extensions`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/extensions)
+folder. You manage extensions by curating this folder tree, where you will find
+the data for `fakenews`, `social`, `gambling`, and `porn` extension data that we
+maintain and provide for you.
+
+## Generate your own unified hosts file
+
+You have three options to generate your own hosts file. You can use our
+container image, build your own image, or do it in your own environment. Option
+#1 is easiest if you have Linux with Docker installed.
+
+### Option 1: Use our container image (Linux only)
+
+> This will replace your `/etc/hosts`.
+
+We assume you have Docker available on your host. Just run the following
+command. Set extensions to your preference.
+
+```sh
+docker run --pull always --rm -it -v /etc/hosts:/etc/hosts \
+ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest updateHostsFile.py --auto \
+--replace --extensions gambling porn
+```
+
+If you want to add custom hosts or a whitelist, create either or both files as
+per [the instructions](#how-do-i-control-which-sources-are-unified) and add the
+following arguments _before_ `ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest` depending on
+which you wish to use.
+
+```sh
+-v "path/to/myhosts:/hosts/myhosts" \
+-v "path/to/whitelist:/hosts/whitelist" \
+```
+
+You can rerun this exact command later to update based on the latest available
+hosts (for example, add it to a weekly cron job).
+
+### Option 2: Generate your own container image
+
+We provide the
+[Dockerfile](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/Dockerfile) used
+by the previous step, which you can use to create a container image with
+everything you need. The container will contain Python 3 and all its dependency
+requirements, and a copy of the latest version of this repository.
+
+Build the Docker container from the root of this repo like this:
+
+```sh
+docker build --no-cache . -t stevenblack-hosts
+```
+
+Then run your command as such:
+
+```sh
+docker run --rm -it stevenblack-hosts updateHostsFile.py
+```
+
+> This will create the hosts file, and remove it with the container when done,
+> so not very useful. You can use the example in option #1 to add volumes so
+> files on your host are replaced.
+
+### Option 3: Generate it in your own environment
+
+To generate your own amalgamated hosts files you will need Python 3.6 or later.
+
+First, install the dependencies with:
+
+```sh
+pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+**Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies
+at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip
+[documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
+
+### Common steps regardless of your development environment
+
+To **run unit tests**, in the top-level directory, run:
+
+```sh
+python3 testUpdateHostsFile.py
+```
+
+The `updateHostsFile.py` script will generate a unified hosts file based on the
+sources in the local `data/` subfolder. The script will prompt you whether it
+should fetch updated versions (from locations defined by the `update.json` text
+file in each source's folder). Otherwise, it will use the `hosts` file that's
+already there.
+
+```sh
+python3 updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--replace] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]
+```
+
+#### Command line options
+
+`--help`, or `-h`: display help.
+
+`--auto`, or `-a`: run the script without prompting. When `--auto` is invoked,
+
+- Hosts data sources, including extensions, are updated.
+- No extensions are included by default. Use the `--extensions` or `-e` flag to
+  include any you want.
+- Your active hosts file is _not_ replaced unless you include the `--replace`
+  flag.
+
+`--backup`, or `-b`: Make a backup of existing hosts file(s) as you generate
+over them.
+
+`--extensions <ext1> <ext2> <ext3>`, or `-e <ext1> <ext2> <ext3>`: the names of
+subfolders below the `extensions` folder containing additional category-specific
+hosts files to include in the amalgamation. Example: `--extensions porn` or
+`-e social porn`.
+
+`--flush-dns-cache`, or `-f`: skip the prompt for flushing the DNS cache. Only
+active when `--replace` is also active.
+
+`--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn`, or `-i nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn`: the IP address to use as the
+target. Default is `0.0.0.0`.
+
+`--keepdomaincomments`, or `-k`: `true` (default) or `false`, keep the comments
+that appear on the same line as domains. The default is `true`.
+
+`--noupdate`, or `-n`: skip fetching updates from hosts data sources.
+
+`--output <subfolder>`, or `-o <subfolder>`: place the generated source file in
+a subfolder. If the subfolder does not exist, it will be created.
+
+`--replace`, or `-r`: trigger replacing your active hosts
+
+`--skipstatichosts`, or `-s`: `false` (default) or `true`, omit the standard
+section at the top, containing lines like `127.0.0.1 localhost`. This is useful
+for configuring proximate DNS services on the local network.
+
+`--nogendata`, or `-g`: `false` (default) or `true`, skip the generation of the
+readmeData.json file used for generating readme.md files. This is useful if you
+are generating host files with additional whitelists or blacklists and want to
+keep your local checkout of this repo unmodified.
+
+`--nounifiedhosts`: `false` (default) or `true`, do not include the unified hosts
+file in the final hosts file. Usually used together with `--extensions`.
+
+`--compress`, or `-c`: `false` (default) or `true`, _Compress_ the hosts file
+ignoring non-necessary lines (empty lines and comments) and putting multiple
+domains in each line. Reducing the number of lines of the hosts file improves
+the performances under Windows (with DNS Client service enabled).
+
+`--minimise`, or `-m`: `false` (default) or `true`, like `--compress`, but puts
+each domain on a separate line. This is necessary because many implementations
+of URL blockers that rely on `hosts` files do not conform to the standard which
+allows multiple hosts on a single line.
+
+`--blacklist <blacklistfile>`, or `-x <blacklistfile>`: Append the given
+blacklist file in hosts format to the generated hosts file.
+
+`--whitelist <whitelistfile>`, or `-w <whitelistfile>`: Use the given whitelist
+file to remove hosts from the generated hosts file.
+
+## How do I control which sources are unified?
+
+Add one or more _additional_ sources, each in a subfolder of the `data/` folder,
+and specify the `url` key in its `update.json` file.
+
+Add one or more _optional_ extensions, which originate from subfolders of the
+`extensions/` folder. Again the url in `update.json` controls where this
+extension finds its updates.
+
+Create an _optional_ `blacklist` file. The contents of this file (containing a
+listing of additional domains in `hosts` file format) are appended to the
+unified hosts file during the update process. A sample `blacklist` is included,
+and may be modified as you need.
+
+- NOTE: The `blacklist` is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't be
+  overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
+
+### How do I include my own custom domain mappings?
+
+If you have custom hosts records, place them in file `myhosts`. The contents of
+this file are prepended to the unified hosts file during the update process.
+
+The `myhosts` file is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't be
+overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
+
+### How do I prevent domains from being included?
+
+The domains you list in the `whitelist` file are excluded from the final hosts
+file.
+
+The `whitelist` uses partial matching. Therefore if you whitelist
+`google-analytics.com`, that domain and all its subdomains won't be merged into
+the final hosts file.
+
+The `whitelist` is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't be
+overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
+
+## How can I contribute hosts records?
+
+If you discover sketchy domains you feel should be included here, here are some
+ways to contribute them.
+
+### Option 1: contact one of our hosts sources
+
+The best way to get new domains included is to submit an issue to any of the
+data providers whose home pages are
+[listed here](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts#sources-of-hosts-data-unified-in-this-variant).
+This is best because once you submit new domains, they will be curated and
+updated by the dedicated folks who maintain these sources.
+
+### Option 2: Fork this repository, add your domains to Steven Black's personal data file, and submit a pull request
+
+Fork this hosts this repo and add your links to
+[https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts).
+
+Then, submit a pull request.

+**WARNING**: this is less desirable than Option 1 because the ongoing curation
+falls on us. So this creates more work for us.
+
+### Option 3: create your own hosts list as a repo on GitHub
+
+If you're able to curate your own collection of sketchy domains, then curate
+your own hosts list. 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.
+
+## What is a hosts file?
+
+A hosts file, named `hosts` (with no file extension), is a plain-text file used
+by all operating systems to map hostnames to IP addresses.
+
+In most operating systems, the `hosts` file is preferential to `DNS`. Therefore
+if a domain name is resolved by the `hosts` file, the request never leaves your
+computer.
+
+Having a smart `hosts` file goes a long way towards blocking malware, adware,
+and other irritants.
+
+For example, to nullify requests to some doubleclick.net servers, adding these
+lines to your hosts file will do it:
+
+```text
+# block doubleClick's servers
+0.0.0.0 ad.ae.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.ar.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.at.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.au.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.be.doubleclick.net
+# etc...
+```
+
+## 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.
+
+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.
+
+- **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.
+
+## Gentoo
+
+Gentoo users may find
+[`sb-hosts`](https://github.com/PF4Public/gentoo-overlay/tree/master/net-misc/sb-hosts)
+in [::pf4public](https://github.com/PF4Public/gentoo-overlay) Gentoo overlay
+
+## NixOS
+
+To install hosts file on your machine add the following into your
+`configuration.nix`:
+
+```nix
+{
+  networking.extraHosts = let
+    hostsPath = https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/hosts;
+    hostsFile = builtins.fetchurl hostsPath;
+  in builtins.readFile "${hostsFile}";
+}
+```
+
+- NOTE: Change `hostsPath` if you need other versions of hosts file.
+- NOTE: The call to `fetchurl` is impure. Use `fetchFromGitHub` with the exact
+  commit if you want to always get the same result.
+
+### Nix Flake
+
+NixOS installations which are managed through _flakes_ can use the hosts file
+like this:
+
+```nix
+{
+  inputs.hosts.url = github:StevenBlack/hosts;
+  outputs = { self, nixpkgs, hosts }: {
+    nixosConfigurations.my-hostname = {
+      system = "<architecture>";
+      modules = [
+        hosts.nixosModule {
+          networking.stevenBlackHosts.enable = true;
+        }
+      ];
+    };
+  };
+}
+```
+
+The hosts extensions are also available with the following options:
+
+```nix
+{
+  networking.stevenBlackHosts = {
+    blockFakenews = true;
+    blockGambling = true;
+    blockPorn = true;
+    blockSocial = true;
+  };
+}
+```
+
+## Updating hosts file on Windows
+
+(NOTE: See also some third-party Hosts managers, listed below.)
+
+On Linux and macOS, run the Python script. On Windows more work is required due
+to compatibility issues so it's preferable to run the batch file as follows:
+
+```sh
+updateHostsWindows.bat
+```
+
+This file **MUST** be run in command prompt with administrator privileges in the
+repository directory. In addition to updating the hosts file, it can also
+replace the existing hosts file, and reload the DNS cache. It goes without
+saying that for this to work, you must be connected to the internet.
+
+To open a command prompt as administrator in the repository's directory, do the
+following:
+
+- **Windows XP**: Start → Run → `cmd`
+- **Windows Vista, 7**: Start Button → type `cmd` → right-click Command Prompt →
+  "Run as Administrator"
+- **Windows 8**: Start → Swipe Up → All Apps → Windows System → right-click
+  Command Prompt → "Run as Administrator"
+- **Windows 10**: Start Button → type `cmd` → right-click Command Prompt → "Run
+  as Administrator"
+
+You can also refer to the "Third-Party Hosts Managers" section for further
+recommended solutions from third parties.
+
+### Warning: Using this `hosts` file in Windows may require disabling DNS Cache service
+
+Windows has issues with larger hosts files. Recent changes in security within
+Windows 10 denies access to changing services via other tools except registry
+hacks. Use the `disable-dnscache-service-win.cmd` file to make proper changes to
+the Windows registry. You will need to reboot your device once that's done. See
+the
+[the comments within the `cmd` file](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/disable-dnscache-service-win.bat)
+for more details.
+
+## Reloading hosts file
+
+Your operating system will cache DNS lookups. You can either reboot or run the
+following commands to manually flush your DNS cache once the new hosts file is
+in place.
+
+The Google Chrome browser may require manually cleaning up its DNS Cache on
+`chrome://net-internals/#dns` page to thereafter see the changes in your hosts
+file. See: <https://superuser.com/questions/723703>
+
+### Windows
+
+Open a command prompt with administrator privileges and run this command:
+
+```bat
+ipconfig /flushdns
+```
+
+### Linux
+
+Open a Terminal and run with root privileges:
+
+- **Debian/Ubuntu** `sudo service network-manager restart`
+- **Linux Mint** `sudo /etc/init.d/dns-clean start`
+- **Linux with systemd**: `sudo systemctl restart network.service`
+- **Fedora Linux**: `sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager.service`
+- **Arch Linux/Manjaro with Network Manager**:
+  `sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager.service`
+- **Arch Linux/Manjaro with Wicd**: `sudo systemctl restart wicd.service`
+- **RHEL/Centos**: `sudo /etc/init.d/network restart`
+- **FreeBSD**: `sudo service nscd restart`
+
+  To enable the `nscd` daemon initially, it is recommended that you run the
+  following commands:
+
+  ```sh
+  sudo sysrc nscd_enable="YES"
+  sudo service nscd start
+  ```
+
+  Then modify the `hosts` line in your `/etc/nsswitch.conf` file to the
+  following:
+
+  ```text
+  hosts: cache files dns
+  ```
+
+- **NixOS**: The `nscd.service` is automatically restarted when the option
+  `networking.extraHosts` was changed.
+- **Others**: Consult
+  [this Wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_%28file%29#Location_in_the_file_system).
+
+### macOS
+
+As described in [this article](https://osxdaily.com/2022/11/21/how-clear-dns-cache-macos-ventura-monterey/),
+open a Terminal and run:
+
+```sh
+sudo dscacheutil -flushcache;sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
+```
+
+## Release management
+
+This repository uses [release-it](https://github.com/release-it/release-it), an
+excellent CLI release tool for GitHub repos and npm packages, to automate
+creating [releases](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/releases). This is why
+the
+[package.json](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/package.json)
+and
+[.release-it.json](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/.release-it.json)
+files are bundled.
+
+## Goals of this unified hosts file
+
+The goals of this repo are to:
+
+1. automatically combine high-quality lists of hosts,
+2. provide situation-appropriate extensions,
+3. de-dupe the resultant combined list,
+4. and keep the resultant file reasonably sized.
+
+A high-quality source is defined here as one that is actively curated. A hosts
+source should be frequently updated by its maintainers with both additions and
+removals. The larger the hosts file, the higher the level of curation is
+expected.
+
+It is expected that this unified hosts file will serve both desktop and mobile
+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 AutoUpdate package is purpose-built for this
+  unified hosts project as well as in active development by community members.
+  You can install and uninstall any blacklist and keep it automatically up to
+  date, and can be 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.

+
+
+## Extensions
+
+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`.
+
+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 are stored in the
+[`extensions`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/extensions)
+folder. You manage extensions by curating this folder tree, where you will find
+the data for `fakenews`, `social`, `gambling`, and `porn` extension data that we
+maintain and provide for you.
+
+## Generate your own unified hosts file
+
+You have three options to generate your own hosts file. You can use our
+container image, build your own image, or do it in your own environment. Option
+#1 is easiest if you have Linux with Docker installed.
+
+### Option 1: Use our container image (Linux only)
+
+> This will replace your `/etc/hosts`.
+
+We assume you have Docker available on your host. Just run the following
+command. Set extensions to your preference.
+
+```sh
+docker run --pull always --rm -it -v /etc/hosts:/etc/hosts \
+ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest updateHostsFile.py --auto \
+--replace --extensions gambling porn
+```
+
+If you want to add custom hosts or a whitelist, create either or both files as
+per [the instructions](#how-do-i-control-which-sources-are-unified) and add the
+following arguments _before_ `ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest` depending on
+which you wish to use.
+
+```sh
+-v "path/to/myhosts:/hosts/myhosts" \
+-v "path/to/whitelist:/hosts/whitelist" \
+```
+
+You can rerun this exact command later to update based on the latest available
+hosts (for example, add it to a weekly cron job).
+
+### Option 2: Generate your own container image
+
+We provide the
+[Dockerfile](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/Dockerfile) used
+by the previous step, which you can use to create a container image with
+everything you need. The container will contain Python 3 and all its dependency
+requirements, and a copy of the latest version of this repository.
+
+Build the Docker container from the root of this repo like this:
+
+```sh
+docker build --no-cache . -t stevenblack-hosts
+```
+
+Then run your command as such:
+
+```sh
+docker run --rm -it stevenblack-hosts updateHostsFile.py
+```
+
+> This will create the hosts file, and remove it with the container when done,
+> so not very useful. You can use the example in option #1 to add volumes so
+> files on your host are replaced.
+
+### Option 3: Generate it in your own environment
+
+To generate your own amalgamated hosts files you will need Python 3.6 or later.
+
+First, install the dependencies with:
+
+```sh
+pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+**Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies
+at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip
+[documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
+
+### Common steps regardless of your development environment
+
+To **run unit tests**, in the top-level directory, run:
+
+```sh
+python3 testUpdateHostsFile.py
+```
+
+The `updateHostsFile.py` script will generate a unified hosts file based on the
+sources in the local `data/` subfolder. The script will prompt you whether it
+should fetch updated versions (from locations defined by the `update.json` text
+file in each source's folder). Otherwise, it will use the `hosts` file that's
+already there.
+
+```sh
+python3 updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--replace] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]
+```
+
+#### Command line options
+
+`--help`, or `-h`: display help.
+
+`--auto`, or `-a`: run the script without prompting. When `--auto` is invoked,
+
+- Hosts data sources, including extensions, are updated.
+- No extensions are included by default. Use the `--extensions` or `-e` flag to
+  include any you want.
+- Your active hosts file is _not_ replaced unless you include the `--replace`
+  flag.
+
+`--backup`, or `-b`: Make a backup of existing hosts file(s) as you generate
+over them.
+
+`--extensions <ext1> <ext2> <ext3>`, or `-e <ext1> <ext2> <ext3>`: the names of
+subfolders below the `extensions` folder containing additional category-specific
+hosts files to include in the amalgamation. Example: `--extensions porn` or
+`-e social porn`.
+
+`--flush-dns-cache`, or `-f`: skip the prompt for flushing the DNS cache. Only
+active when `--replace` is also active.
+
+`--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn`, or `-i nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn`: the IP address to use as the
+target. Default is `0.0.0.0`.
+
+`--keepdomaincomments`, or `-k`: `true` (default) or `false`, keep the comments
+that appear on the same line as domains. The default is `true`.
+
+`--noupdate`, or `-n`: skip fetching updates from hosts data sources.
+
+`--output <subfolder>`, or `-o <subfolder>`: place the generated source file in
+a subfolder. If the subfolder does not exist, it will be created.
+
+`--replace`, or `-r`: trigger replacing your active hosts
+
+`--skipstatichosts`, or `-s`: `false` (default) or `true`, omit the standard
+section at the top, containing lines like `127.0.0.1 localhost`. This is useful
+for configuring proximate DNS services on the local network.
+
+`--nogendata`, or `-g`: `false` (default) or `true`, skip the generation of the
+readmeData.json file used for generating readme.md files. This is useful if you
+are generating host files with additional whitelists or blacklists and want to
+keep your local checkout of this repo unmodified.
+
+`--nounifiedhosts`: `false` (default) or `true`, do not include the unified hosts
+file in the final hosts file. Usually used together with `--extensions`.
+
+`--compress`, or `-c`: `false` (default) or `true`, _Compress_ the hosts file
+ignoring non-necessary lines (empty lines and comments) and putting multiple
+domains in each line. Reducing the number of lines of the hosts file improves
+the performances under Windows (with DNS Client service enabled).
+
+`--minimise`, or `-m`: `false` (default) or `true`, like `--compress`, but puts
+each domain on a separate line. This is necessary because many implementations
+of URL blockers that rely on `hosts` files do not conform to the standard which
+allows multiple hosts on a single line.
+
+`--blacklist <blacklistfile>`, or `-x <blacklistfile>`: Append the given
+blacklist file in hosts format to the generated hosts file.
+
+`--whitelist <whitelistfile>`, or `-w <whitelistfile>`: Use the given whitelist
+file to remove hosts from the generated hosts file.
+
+## How do I control which sources are unified?
+
+Add one or more _additional_ sources, each in a subfolder of the `data/` folder,
+and specify the `url` key in its `update.json` file.
+
+Add one or more _optional_ extensions, which originate from subfolders of the
+`extensions/` folder. Again the url in `update.json` controls where this
+extension finds its updates.
+
+Create an _optional_ `blacklist` file. The contents of this file (containing a
+listing of additional domains in `hosts` file format) are appended to the
+unified hosts file during the update process. A sample `blacklist` is included,
+and may be modified as you need.
+
+- NOTE: The `blacklist` is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't be
+  overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
+
+### How do I include my own custom domain mappings?
+
+If you have custom hosts records, place them in file `myhosts`. The contents of
+this file are prepended to the unified hosts file during the update process.
+
+The `myhosts` file is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't be
+overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
+
+### How do I prevent domains from being included?
+
+The domains you list in the `whitelist` file are excluded from the final hosts
+file.
+
+The `whitelist` uses partial matching. Therefore if you whitelist
+`google-analytics.com`, that domain and all its subdomains won't be merged into
+the final hosts file.
+
+The `whitelist` is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't be
+overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
+
+## How can I contribute hosts records?
+
+If you discover sketchy domains you feel should be included here, here are some
+ways to contribute them.
+
+### Option 1: contact one of our hosts sources
+
+The best way to get new domains included is to submit an issue to any of the
+data providers whose home pages are
+[listed here](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts#sources-of-hosts-data-unified-in-this-variant).
+This is best because once you submit new domains, they will be curated and
+updated by the dedicated folks who maintain these sources.
+
+### Option 2: Fork this repository, add your domains to Steven Black's personal data file, and submit a pull request
+
+Fork this hosts this repo and add your links to
+[https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts).
+
+Then, submit a pull request.
+
+**WARNING**: this is less desirable than Option 1 because the ongoing curation
+falls on us. So this creates more work for us.
+
+### Option 3: create your own hosts list as a repo on GitHub
+
+If you're able to curate your own collection of sketchy domains, then curate
+your own hosts list. 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.
+
+## What is a hosts file?
+
+A hosts file, named `hosts` (with no file extension), is a plain-text file used
+by all operating systems to map hostnames to IP addresses.
+
+In most operating systems, the `hosts` file is preferential to `DNS`. Therefore
+if a domain name is resolved by the `hosts` file, the request never leaves your
+computer.
+
+Having a smart `hosts` file goes a long way towards blocking malware, adware,
+and other irritants.
+
+For example, to nullify requests to some doubleclick.net servers, adding these
+lines to your hosts file will do it:
+
+```text
+# block doubleClick's servers
+0.0.0.0 ad.ae.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.ar.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.at.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.au.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.be.doubleclick.net
+# etc...
+```
+
+## 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.
+
+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.
+
+- **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.
+
+## Gentoo
+
+Gentoo users may find
+[`sb-hosts`](https://github.com/PF4Public/gentoo-overlay/tree/master/net-misc/sb-hosts)
+in [::pf4public](https://github.com/PF4Public/gentoo-overlay) Gentoo overlay
+
+## NixOS
+
+To install hosts file on your machine add the following into your
+`configuration.nix`:
+
+```nix
+{
+  networking.extraHosts = let
+    hostsPath = https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/hosts;
+    hostsFile = builtins.fetchurl hostsPath;
+  in builtins.readFile "${hostsFile}";
+}
+```
+
+- NOTE: Change `hostsPath` if you need other versions of hosts file.
+- NOTE: The call to `fetchurl` is impure. Use `fetchFromGitHub` with the exact
+  commit if you want to always get the same result.
+
+### Nix Flake
+
+NixOS installations which are managed through _flakes_ can use the hosts file
+like this:
+
+```nix
+{
+  inputs.hosts.url = github:StevenBlack/hosts;
+  outputs = { self, nixpkgs, hosts }: {
+    nixosConfigurations.my-hostname = {
+      system = "<architecture>";
+      modules = [
+        hosts.nixosModule {
+          networking.stevenBlackHosts.enable = true;
+        }
+      ];
+    };
+  };
+}
+```
+
+The hosts extensions are also available with the following options:
+
+```nix
+{
+  networking.stevenBlackHosts = {
+    blockFakenews = true;
+    blockGambling = true;
+    blockPorn = true;
+    blockSocial = true;
+  };
+}
+```
+
+## Updating hosts file on Windows
+
+(NOTE: See also some third-party Hosts managers, listed below.)
+
+On Linux and macOS, run the Python script. On Windows more work is required due
+to compatibility issues so it's preferable to run the batch file as follows:
+
+```sh
+updateHostsWindows.bat
+```
+
+This file **MUST** be run in command prompt with administrator privileges in the
+repository directory. In addition to updating the hosts file, it can also
+replace the existing hosts file, and reload the DNS cache. It goes without
+saying that for this to work, you must be connected to the internet.
+
+To open a command prompt as administrator in the repository's directory, do the
+following:
+
+- **Windows XP**: Start → Run → `cmd`
+- **Windows Vista, 7**: Start Button → type `cmd` → right-click Command Prompt →
+  "Run as Administrator"
+- **Windows 8**: Start → Swipe Up → All Apps → Windows System → right-click
+  Command Prompt → "Run as Administrator"
+- **Windows 10**: Start Button → type `cmd` → right-click Command Prompt → "Run
+  as Administrator"
+
+You can also refer to the "Third-Party Hosts Managers" section for further
+recommended solutions from third parties.
+
+### Warning: Using this `hosts` file in Windows may require disabling DNS Cache service
+
+Windows has issues with larger hosts files. Recent changes in security within
+Windows 10 denies access to changing services via other tools except registry
+hacks. Use the `disable-dnscache-service-win.cmd` file to make proper changes to
+the Windows registry. You will need to reboot your device once that's done. See
+the
+[the comments within the `cmd` file](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/disable-dnscache-service-win.bat)
+for more details.
+
+## Reloading hosts file
+
+Your operating system will cache DNS lookups. You can either reboot or run the
+following commands to manually flush your DNS cache once the new hosts file is
+in place.
+
+The Google Chrome browser may require manually cleaning up its DNS Cache on
+`chrome://net-internals/#dns` page to thereafter see the changes in your hosts
+file. See: <https://superuser.com/questions/723703>
+
+### Windows
+
+Open a command prompt with administrator privileges and run this command:
+
+```bat
+ipconfig /flushdns
+```
+
+### Linux
+
+Open a Terminal and run with root privileges:
+
+- **Debian/Ubuntu** `sudo service network-manager restart`
+- **Linux Mint** `sudo /etc/init.d/dns-clean start`
+- **Linux with systemd**: `sudo systemctl restart network.service`
+- **Fedora Linux**: `sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager.service`
+- **Arch Linux/Manjaro with Network Manager**:
+  `sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager.service`
+- **Arch Linux/Manjaro with Wicd**: `sudo systemctl restart wicd.service`
+- **RHEL/Centos**: `sudo /etc/init.d/network restart`
+- **FreeBSD**: `sudo service nscd restart`
+
+  To enable the `nscd` daemon initially, it is recommended that you run the
+  following commands:
+
+  ```sh
+  sudo sysrc nscd_enable="YES"
+  sudo service nscd start
+  ```
+
+  Then modify the `hosts` line in your `/etc/nsswitch.conf` file to the
+  following:
+
+  ```text
+  hosts: cache files dns
+  ```
+
+- **NixOS**: The `nscd.service` is automatically restarted when the option
+  `networking.extraHosts` was changed.
+- **Others**: Consult
+  [this Wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_%28file%29#Location_in_the_file_system).
+
+### macOS
+
+As described in [this article](https://osxdaily.com/2022/11/21/how-clear-dns-cache-macos-ventura-monterey/),
+open a Terminal and run:
+
+```sh
+sudo dscacheutil -flushcache;sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
+```
+
+## Release management
+
+This repository uses [release-it](https://github.com/release-it/release-it), an
+excellent CLI release tool for GitHub repos and npm packages, to automate
+creating [releases](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/releases). This is why
+the
+[package.json](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/package.json)
+and
+[.release-it.json](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/.release-it.json)
+files are bundled.
+
+## Goals of this unified hosts file
+
+The goals of this repo are to:
+
+1. automatically combine high-quality lists of hosts,
+2. provide situation-appropriate extensions,
+3. de-dupe the resultant combined list,
+4. and keep the resultant file reasonably sized.
+
+A high-quality source is defined here as one that is actively curated. A hosts
+source should be frequently updated by its maintainers with both additions and
+removals. The larger the hosts file, the higher the level of curation is
+expected.
+
+It is expected that this unified hosts file will serve both desktop and mobile
+devices under a variety of operating systems.
+
+## Third-Party Hosts Managers

+  to name a few.
+- [Host Minder](https://github.com/jeremehancock/hostminder#readme) is a simple
+  GUI that allows you to easily update your /etc/hosts file to one of four
+  consolidated hosts files from StevenBlack/hosts. It is provided as a deb
+  package and comes pre-installed on [UbuntuCE](https://ubuntuce.com/).
+- [Maza ad blocking](https://github.com/tanrax/maza-ad-blocking) is a bash
+  script that automatically updates host file. You can also update a fresh copy.
+  And each time it generates a dnsmasq-compatible configuration file. Fast
+  installation, compatible with MacOS, Linux and BSD.
+- [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

+# Limited to the extensions: fakenews, gambling, porn, social
+
+This repository consolidates several reputable `hosts` files, and merges them
+into a unified hosts file with duplicates removed. A variety of tailored hosts
+files are provided.
+
+**Therefore this repository is a hosts file aggregator.**
+

+
+
+
+## List of all hosts file variants
+
+This repository offers
+[15 different host file variants](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/alternates),
+in addition to the base variant, with and without the unified hosts included.
+
+The **Non GitHub mirror** is the link to use for some hosts file managers like

+
+## Extensions
+
+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`.
+
+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 are stored in the
+[`extensions`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/extensions)
+folder. You manage extensions by curating this folder tree, where you will find
+the data for `fakenews`, `social`, `gambling`, and `porn` extension data that we
+maintain and provide for you.
+
+## Generate your own unified hosts file
+
+You have three options to generate your own hosts file. You can use our
+container image, build your own image, or do it in your own environment. Option
+#1 is easiest if you have Linux with Docker installed.
+
+### Option 1: Use our container image (Linux only)
+
+> This will replace your `/etc/hosts`.
+
+We assume you have Docker available on your host. Just run the following
+command. Set extensions to your preference.
+
+```sh
+docker run --pull always --rm -it -v /etc/hosts:/etc/hosts \
+ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest updateHostsFile.py --auto \
+--replace --extensions gambling porn
+```
+
+If you want to add custom hosts or a whitelist, create either or both files as
+per [the instructions](#how-do-i-control-which-sources-are-unified) and add the
+following arguments _before_ `ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest` depending on
+which you wish to use.
+
+```sh
+-v "path/to/myhosts:/hosts/myhosts" \
+-v "path/to/whitelist:/hosts/whitelist" \
+```
+
+You can rerun this exact command later to update based on the latest available
+hosts (for example, add it to a weekly cron job).
+
+### Option 2: Generate your own container image
+
+We provide the
+[Dockerfile](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/Dockerfile) used
+by the previous step, which you can use to create a container image with
+everything you need. The container will contain Python 3 and all its dependency
+requirements, and a copy of the latest version of this repository.
+
+Build the Docker container from the root of this repo like this:
+
+```sh
+docker build --no-cache . -t stevenblack-hosts
+```
+
+Then run your command as such:
+
+```sh
+docker run --rm -it stevenblack-hosts updateHostsFile.py
+```
+
+> This will create the hosts file, and remove it with the container when done,
+> so not very useful. You can use the example in option #1 to add volumes so
+> files on your host are replaced.
+
+### Option 3: Generate it in your own environment
+
+To generate your own amalgamated hosts files you will need Python 3.6 or later.
+
+First, install the dependencies with:
+
+```sh
+pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+**Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies
+at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip
+[documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
+
+### Common steps regardless of your development environment
+
+To **run unit tests**, in the top-level directory, run:
+
+```sh
+python3 testUpdateHostsFile.py
+```
+
+The `updateHostsFile.py` script will generate a unified hosts file based on the
+sources in the local `data/` subfolder. The script will prompt you whether it
+should fetch updated versions (from locations defined by the `update.json` text
+file in each source's folder). Otherwise, it will use the `hosts` file that's
+already there.
+
+```sh
+python3 updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--replace] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]
+```
+
+#### Command line options
+
+`--help`, or `-h`: display help.
+
+`--auto`, or `-a`: run the script without prompting. When `--auto` is invoked,
+
+- Hosts data sources, including extensions, are updated.
+- No extensions are included by default. Use the `--extensions` or `-e` flag to
+  include any you want.
+- Your active hosts file is _not_ replaced unless you include the `--replace`
+  flag.
+
+`--backup`, or `-b`: Make a backup of existing hosts file(s) as you generate
+over them.
+
+`--extensions <ext1> <ext2> <ext3>`, or `-e <ext1> <ext2> <ext3>`: the names of
+subfolders below the `extensions` folder containing additional category-specific
+hosts files to include in the amalgamation. Example: `--extensions porn` or
+`-e social porn`.
+
+`--flush-dns-cache`, or `-f`: skip the prompt for flushing the DNS cache. Only
+active when `--replace` is also active.
+
+`--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn`, or `-i nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn`: the IP address to use as the
+target. Default is `0.0.0.0`.
+
+`--keepdomaincomments`, or `-k`: `true` (default) or `false`, keep the comments
+that appear on the same line as domains. The default is `true`.
+
+`--noupdate`, or `-n`: skip fetching updates from hosts data sources.
+
+`--output <subfolder>`, or `-o <subfolder>`: place the generated source file in
+a subfolder. If the subfolder does not exist, it will be created.
+
+`--replace`, or `-r`: trigger replacing your active hosts
+
+`--skipstatichosts`, or `-s`: `false` (default) or `true`, omit the standard
+section at the top, containing lines like `127.0.0.1 localhost`. This is useful
+for configuring proximate DNS services on the local network.
+
+`--nogendata`, or `-g`: `false` (default) or `true`, skip the generation of the
+readmeData.json file used for generating readme.md files. This is useful if you
+are generating host files with additional whitelists or blacklists and want to
+keep your local checkout of this repo unmodified.
+
+`--nounifiedhosts`: `false` (default) or `true`, do not include the unified hosts
+file in the final hosts file. Usually used together with `--extensions`.
+
+`--compress`, or `-c`: `false` (default) or `true`, _Compress_ the hosts file
+ignoring non-necessary lines (empty lines and comments) and putting multiple
+domains in each line. Reducing the number of lines of the hosts file improves
+the performances under Windows (with DNS Client service enabled).
+
+`--minimise`, or `-m`: `false` (default) or `true`, like `--compress`, but puts
+each domain on a separate line. This is necessary because many implementations
+of URL blockers that rely on `hosts` files do not conform to the standard which
+allows multiple hosts on a single line.
+
+`--blacklist <blacklistfile>`, or `-x <blacklistfile>`: Append the given
+blacklist file in hosts format to the generated hosts file.
+
+`--whitelist <whitelistfile>`, or `-w <whitelistfile>`: Use the given whitelist
+file to remove hosts from the generated hosts file.
+
+## How do I control which sources are unified?
+
+Add one or more _additional_ sources, each in a subfolder of the `data/` folder,
+and specify the `url` key in its `update.json` file.
+
+Add one or more _optional_ extensions, which originate from subfolders of the
+`extensions/` folder. Again the url in `update.json` controls where this
+extension finds its updates.
+
+Create an _optional_ `blacklist` file. The contents of this file (containing a
+listing of additional domains in `hosts` file format) are appended to the
+unified hosts file during the update process. A sample `blacklist` is included,
+and may be modified as you need.
+
+- NOTE: The `blacklist` is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't be
+  overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
+
+### How do I include my own custom domain mappings?
+
+If you have custom hosts records, place them in file `myhosts`. The contents of
+this file are prepended to the unified hosts file during the update process.
+
+The `myhosts` file is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't be
+overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
+
+### How do I prevent domains from being included?
+
+The domains you list in the `whitelist` file are excluded from the final hosts
+file.
+
+The `whitelist` uses partial matching. Therefore if you whitelist
+`google-analytics.com`, that domain and all its subdomains won't be merged into
+the final hosts file.
+
+The `whitelist` is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't be
+overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
+
+## How can I contribute hosts records?
+
+If you discover sketchy domains you feel should be included here, here are some
+ways to contribute them.
+
+### Option 1: contact one of our hosts sources
+
+The best way to get new domains included is to submit an issue to any of the
+data providers whose home pages are
+[listed here](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts#sources-of-hosts-data-unified-in-this-variant).
+This is best because once you submit new domains, they will be curated and
+updated by the dedicated folks who maintain these sources.
+
+### Option 2: Fork this repository, add your domains to Steven Black's personal data file, and submit a pull request
+
+Fork this hosts this repo and add your links to
+[https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts).
+
+Then, submit a pull request.
+
+**WARNING**: this is less desirable than Option 1 because the ongoing curation
+falls on us. So this creates more work for us.
+
+### Option 3: create your own hosts list as a repo on GitHub
+
+If you're able to curate your own collection of sketchy domains, then curate
+your own hosts list. 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.
+
+## What is a hosts file?
+
+A hosts file, named `hosts` (with no file extension), is a plain-text file used
+by all operating systems to map hostnames to IP addresses.
+
+In most operating systems, the `hosts` file is preferential to `DNS`. Therefore
+if a domain name is resolved by the `hosts` file, the request never leaves your
+computer.
+
+Having a smart `hosts` file goes a long way towards blocking malware, adware,
+and other irritants.
+
+For example, to nullify requests to some doubleclick.net servers, adding these
+lines to your hosts file will do it:
+
+```text
+# block doubleClick's servers
+0.0.0.0 ad.ae.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.ar.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.at.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.au.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.be.doubleclick.net
+# etc...
+```
+
+## 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.
+
+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.
+
+- **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.
+
+## Gentoo
+
+Gentoo users may find
+[`sb-hosts`](https://github.com/PF4Public/gentoo-overlay/tree/master/net-misc/sb-hosts)
+in [::pf4public](https://github.com/PF4Public/gentoo-overlay) Gentoo overlay
+
+## NixOS
+
+To install hosts file on your machine add the following into your
+`configuration.nix`:
+
+```nix
+{
+  networking.extraHosts = let
+    hostsPath = https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/hosts;
+    hostsFile = builtins.fetchurl hostsPath;
+  in builtins.readFile "${hostsFile}";
+}
+```
+
+- NOTE: Change `hostsPath` if you need other versions of hosts file.
+- NOTE: The call to `fetchurl` is impure. Use `fetchFromGitHub` with the exact
+  commit if you want to always get the same result.
+
+### Nix Flake
+
+NixOS installations which are managed through _flakes_ can use the hosts file
+like this:
+
+```nix
+{
+  inputs.hosts.url = github:StevenBlack/hosts;
+  outputs = { self, nixpkgs, hosts }: {
+    nixosConfigurations.my-hostname = {
+      system = "<architecture>";
+      modules = [
+        hosts.nixosModule {
+          networking.stevenBlackHosts.enable = true;
+        }
+      ];
+    };
+  };
+}
+```
+
+The hosts extensions are also available with the following options:
+
+```nix
+{
+  networking.stevenBlackHosts = {
+    blockFakenews = true;
+    blockGambling = true;
+    blockPorn = true;
+    blockSocial = true;
+  };
+}
+```
+
+## Updating hosts file on Windows
+
+(NOTE: See also some third-party Hosts managers, listed below.)
+
+On Linux and macOS, run the Python script. On Windows more work is required due
+to compatibility issues so it's preferable to run the batch file as follows:
+
+```sh
+updateHostsWindows.bat
+```
+
+This file **MUST** be run in command prompt with administrator privileges in the
+repository directory. In addition to updating the hosts file, it can also
+replace the existing hosts file, and reload the DNS cache. It goes without
+saying that for this to work, you must be connected to the internet.
+
+To open a command prompt as administrator in the repository's directory, do the
+following:
+
+- **Windows XP**: Start → Run → `cmd`
+- **Windows Vista, 7**: Start Button → type `cmd` → right-click Command Prompt →
+  "Run as Administrator"
+- **Windows 8**: Start → Swipe Up → All Apps → Windows System → right-click
+  Command Prompt → "Run as Administrator"
+- **Windows 10**: Start Button → type `cmd` → right-click Command Prompt → "Run
+  as Administrator"
+
+You can also refer to the "Third-Party Hosts Managers" section for further
+recommended solutions from third parties.
+
+### Warning: Using this `hosts` file in Windows may require disabling DNS Cache service
+
+Windows has issues with larger hosts files. Recent changes in security within
+Windows 10 denies access to changing services via other tools except registry
+hacks. Use the `disable-dnscache-service-win.cmd` file to make proper changes to
+the Windows registry. You will need to reboot your device once that's done. See
+the
+[the comments within the `cmd` file](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/disable-dnscache-service-win.bat)
+for more details.
+
+## Reloading hosts file
+
+Your operating system will cache DNS lookups. You can either reboot or run the
+following commands to manually flush your DNS cache once the new hosts file is
+in place.
+
+The Google Chrome browser may require manually cleaning up its DNS Cache on
+`chrome://net-internals/#dns` page to thereafter see the changes in your hosts
+file. See: <https://superuser.com/questions/723703>
+
+### Windows
+
+Open a command prompt with administrator privileges and run this command:
+
+```bat
+ipconfig /flushdns
+```
+
+### Linux
+
+Open a Terminal and run with root privileges:
+
+- **Debian/Ubuntu** `sudo service network-manager restart`
+- **Linux Mint** `sudo /etc/init.d/dns-clean start`
+- **Linux with systemd**: `sudo systemctl restart network.service`
+- **Fedora Linux**: `sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager.service`
+- **Arch Linux/Manjaro with Network Manager**:
+  `sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager.service`
+- **Arch Linux/Manjaro with Wicd**: `sudo systemctl restart wicd.service`
+- **RHEL/Centos**: `sudo /etc/init.d/network restart`
+- **FreeBSD**: `sudo service nscd restart`
+
+  To enable the `nscd` daemon initially, it is recommended that you run the
+  following commands:
+
+  ```sh
+  sudo sysrc nscd_enable="YES"
+  sudo service nscd start
+  ```
+
+  Then modify the `hosts` line in your `/etc/nsswitch.conf` file to the
+  following:
+
+  ```text
+  hosts: cache files dns
+  ```
+
+- **NixOS**: The `nscd.service` is automatically restarted when the option
+  `networking.extraHosts` was changed.
+- **Others**: Consult
+  [this Wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_%28file%29#Location_in_the_file_system).
+
+### macOS
+
+As described in [this article](https://osxdaily.com/2022/11/21/how-clear-dns-cache-macos-ventura-monterey/),
+open a Terminal and run:
+
+```sh
+sudo dscacheutil -flushcache;sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
+```
+
+## Release management
+
+This repository uses [release-it](https://github.com/release-it/release-it), an
+excellent CLI release tool for GitHub repos and npm packages, to automate
+creating [releases](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/releases). This is why
+the
+[package.json](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/package.json)
+and
+[.release-it.json](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/.release-it.json)
+files are bundled.
+
+## Goals of this unified hosts file
+
+The goals of this repo are to:
+
+1. automatically combine high-quality lists of hosts,
+2. provide situation-appropriate extensions,
+3. de-dupe the resultant combined list,
+4. and keep the resultant file reasonably sized.
+
+A high-quality source is defined here as one that is actively curated. A hosts
+source should be frequently updated by its maintainers with both additions and
+removals. The larger the hosts file, the higher the level of curation is
+expected.
+
+It is expected that this unified hosts file will serve both desktop and mobile
+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 AutoUpdate package is purpose-built for this
+  unified hosts project as well as in active development by community members.
+  You can install and uninstall any blacklist and keep it automatically up to
+  date, and can be 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.
+- [ViHoMa](https://github.com/cmabad/ViHoMa) is a Visual Hosts file Manager,
+  written in Java, by Christian Martínez. Check it out!
+
+## Interesting Applications
+
+- [Hosts-BL](https://github.com/ScriptTiger/Hosts-BL "Hosts-BL") is a simple
+  tool to handle hosts file black lists. It can remove comments, remove
+  duplicates, compress to 9 domains per line, add IPv6 entries. In addition, it
+  can also convert black lists to multiple other black list formats compatible
+  with other software, such as dnsmasq, DualServer, RPZ, Privoxy, and Unbound,
+  to name a few.
+- [Host Minder](https://github.com/jeremehancock/hostminder#readme) is a simple
+  GUI that allows you to easily update your /etc/hosts file to one of four
+  consolidated hosts files from StevenBlack/hosts. It is provided as a deb
+  package and comes pre-installed on [UbuntuCE](https://ubuntuce.com/).
+- [Maza ad blocking](https://github.com/tanrax/maza-ad-blocking) is a bash
+  script that automatically updates host file. You can also update a fresh copy.
+  And each time it generates a dnsmasq-compatible configuration file. Fast
+  installation, compatible with MacOS, Linux and BSD.
+- [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.
+- [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.
+- [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.
+- [Blocking ads and malwares with unbound](https://deadc0de.re/articles/unbound-blocking-ads.html "Blocking ads and malwares with unbound")
+  –
+  [Unbound](https://www.unbound.net/ "Unbound is a validating, recursive, and caching DNS resolver.")
+  is a validating, recursive, and caching DNS resolver.
+- [dnsmasq conversion script](https://gist.github.com/erlepereira/c11f4f7a3f60cd2071e79018e895fc8a#file-dnsmasq-antimalware)
+  This GitHub gist has a short shell script (bash, will work on any 'nix) and
+  uses `wget` & `awk` present in most distros, to fetch a specified hosts file
+  and convert it to the format required by dnsmasq. Supports IPv4 and IPv6.
+  Designed to be used as either a shell script, or can be dropped into
+  `/etc/cron.weekly` (or wherever suits). The script is short and easily edited,
+  also has a short document attached with notes on dnsmasq setup.
+- [BlackHosts - Command Line Installer/Updater](https://github.com/Lateralus138/blackhosts)

+
+
+## Extensions
+
+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`.
+
+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 are stored in the
+[`extensions`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/extensions)
+folder. You manage extensions by curating this folder tree, where you will find
+the data for `fakenews`, `social`, `gambling`, and `porn` extension data that we
+maintain and provide for you.
+
+## Generate your own unified hosts file
+
+You have three options to generate your own hosts file. You can use our
+container image, build your own image, or do it in your own environment. Option
+#1 is easiest if you have Linux with Docker installed.
+
+### Option 1: Use our container image (Linux only)
+
+> This will replace your `/etc/hosts`.
+
+We assume you have Docker available on your host. Just run the following
+command. Set extensions to your preference.
+
+```sh
+docker run --pull always --rm -it -v /etc/hosts:/etc/hosts \
+ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest updateHostsFile.py --auto \
+--replace --extensions gambling porn
+```
+
+If you want to add custom hosts or a whitelist, create either or both files as
+per [the instructions](#how-do-i-control-which-sources-are-unified) and add the
+following arguments _before_ `ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest` depending on
+which you wish to use.
+
+```sh
+-v "path/to/myhosts:/hosts/myhosts" \
+-v "path/to/whitelist:/hosts/whitelist" \
+```
+
+You can rerun this exact command later to update based on the latest available
+hosts (for example, add it to a weekly cron job).
+
+### Option 2: Generate your own container image
+
+We provide the
+[Dockerfile](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/Dockerfile) used
+by the previous step, which you can use to create a container image with
+everything you need. The container will contain Python 3 and all its dependency
+requirements, and a copy of the latest version of this repository.
+
+Build the Docker container from the root of this repo like this:
+
+```sh
+docker build --no-cache . -t stevenblack-hosts
+```
+
+Then run your command as such:
+
+```sh
+docker run --rm -it stevenblack-hosts updateHostsFile.py
+```
+
+> This will create the hosts file, and remove it with the container when done,
+> so not very useful. You can use the example in option #1 to add volumes so
+> files on your host are replaced.
+
+### Option 3: Generate it in your own environment
+
+To generate your own amalgamated hosts files you will need Python 3.6 or later.
+
+First, install the dependencies with:
+
+```sh
+pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+**Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies
+at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip
+[documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
+
+### Common steps regardless of your development environment
+
+To **run unit tests**, in the top-level directory, run:
+
+```sh
+python3 testUpdateHostsFile.py
+```
+
+The `updateHostsFile.py` script will generate a unified hosts file based on the
+sources in the local `data/` subfolder. The script will prompt you whether it
+should fetch updated versions (from locations defined by the `update.json` text
+file in each source's folder). Otherwise, it will use the `hosts` file that's
+already there.
+
+```sh
+python3 updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--replace] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]
+```
+
+#### Command line options
+
+`--help`, or `-h`: display help.
+
+`--auto`, or `-a`: run the script without prompting. When `--auto` is invoked,
+
+- Hosts data sources, including extensions, are updated.
+- No extensions are included by default. Use the `--extensions` or `-e` flag to
+  include any you want.
+- Your active hosts file is _not_ replaced unless you include the `--replace`
+  flag.
+
+`--backup`, or `-b`: Make a backup of existing hosts file(s) as you generate
+over them.
+
+`--extensions <ext1> <ext2> <ext3>`, or `-e <ext1> <ext2> <ext3>`: the names of
+subfolders below the `extensions` folder containing additional category-specific
+hosts files to include in the amalgamation. Example: `--extensions porn` or
+`-e social porn`.
+
+`--flush-dns-cache`, or `-f`: skip the prompt for flushing the DNS cache. Only
+active when `--replace` is also active.
+
+`--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn`, or `-i nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn`: the IP address to use as the
+target. Default is `0.0.0.0`.
+
+`--keepdomaincomments`, or `-k`: `true` (default) or `false`, keep the comments
+that appear on the same line as domains. The default is `true`.
+
+`--noupdate`, or `-n`: skip fetching updates from hosts data sources.
+
+`--output <subfolder>`, or `-o <subfolder>`: place the generated source file in
+a subfolder. If the subfolder does not exist, it will be created.
+
+`--replace`, or `-r`: trigger replacing your active hosts
+
+`--skipstatichosts`, or `-s`: `false` (default) or `true`, omit the standard
+section at the top, containing lines like `127.0.0.1 localhost`. This is useful
+for configuring proximate DNS services on the local network.
+
+`--nogendata`, or `-g`: `false` (default) or `true`, skip the generation of the
+readmeData.json file used for generating readme.md files. This is useful if you
+are generating host files with additional whitelists or blacklists and want to
+keep your local checkout of this repo unmodified.
+
+`--nounifiedhosts`: `false` (default) or `true`, do not include the unified hosts
+file in the final hosts file. Usually used together with `--extensions`.
+
+`--compress`, or `-c`: `false` (default) or `true`, _Compress_ the hosts file
+ignoring non-necessary lines (empty lines and comments) and putting multiple
+domains in each line. Reducing the number of lines of the hosts file improves
+the performances under Windows (with DNS Client service enabled).
+
+`--minimise`, or `-m`: `false` (default) or `true`, like `--compress`, but puts
+each domain on a separate line. This is necessary because many implementations
+of URL blockers that rely on `hosts` files do not conform to the standard which
+allows multiple hosts on a single line.
+
+`--blacklist <blacklistfile>`, or `-x <blacklistfile>`: Append the given
+blacklist file in hosts format to the generated hosts file.
+
+`--whitelist <whitelistfile>`, or `-w <whitelistfile>`: Use the given whitelist
+file to remove hosts from the generated hosts file.
+
+## How do I control which sources are unified?
+
+Add one or more _additional_ sources, each in a subfolder of the `data/` folder,
+and specify the `url` key in its `update.json` file.
+
+Add one or more _optional_ extensions, which originate from subfolders of the
+`extensions/` folder. Again the url in `update.json` controls where this
+extension finds its updates.
+
+Create an _optional_ `blacklist` file. The contents of this file (containing a
+listing of additional domains in `hosts` file format) are appended to the
+unified hosts file during the update process. A sample `blacklist` is included,
+and may be modified as you need.
+
+- NOTE: The `blacklist` is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't be
+  overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
+
+### How do I include my own custom domain mappings?
+
+If you have custom hosts records, place them in file `myhosts`. The contents of
+this file are prepended to the unified hosts file during the update process.
+
+The `myhosts` file is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't be
+overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
+
+### How do I prevent domains from being included?
+
+The domains you list in the `whitelist` file are excluded from the final hosts
+file.
+
+The `whitelist` uses partial matching. Therefore if you whitelist
+`google-analytics.com`, that domain and all its subdomains won't be merged into
+the final hosts file.
+
+The `whitelist` is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't be
+overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
+
+## How can I contribute hosts records?
+
+If you discover sketchy domains you feel should be included here, here are some
+ways to contribute them.
+
+### Option 1: contact one of our hosts sources
+
+The best way to get new domains included is to submit an issue to any of the
+data providers whose home pages are
+[listed here](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts#sources-of-hosts-data-unified-in-this-variant).
+This is best because once you submit new domains, they will be curated and
+updated by the dedicated folks who maintain these sources.
+
+### Option 2: Fork this repository, add your domains to Steven Black's personal data file, and submit a pull request
+
+Fork this hosts this repo and add your links to
+[https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts).
+
+Then, submit a pull request.
+
+**WARNING**: this is less desirable than Option 1 because the ongoing curation
+falls on us. So this creates more work for us.
+
+### Option 3: create your own hosts list as a repo on GitHub
+
+If you're able to curate your own collection of sketchy domains, then curate
+your own hosts list. 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.
+
+## What is a hosts file?
+
+A hosts file, named `hosts` (with no file extension), is a plain-text file used
+by all operating systems to map hostnames to IP addresses.
+
+In most operating systems, the `hosts` file is preferential to `DNS`. Therefore
+if a domain name is resolved by the `hosts` file, the request never leaves your
+computer.
+
+Having a smart `hosts` file goes a long way towards blocking malware, adware,
+and other irritants.
+
+For example, to nullify requests to some doubleclick.net servers, adding these
+lines to your hosts file will do it:
+
+```text
+# block doubleClick's servers
+0.0.0.0 ad.ae.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.ar.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.at.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.au.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.be.doubleclick.net
+# etc...
+```
+
+## 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.
+
+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.
+
+- **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.
+
+## Gentoo
+
+Gentoo users may find
+[`sb-hosts`](https://github.com/PF4Public/gentoo-overlay/tree/master/net-misc/sb-hosts)
+in [::pf4public](https://github.com/PF4Public/gentoo-overlay) Gentoo overlay
+
+## NixOS
+
+To install hosts file on your machine add the following into your
+`configuration.nix`:
+
+```nix
+{
+  networking.extraHosts = let
+    hostsPath = https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/hosts;
+    hostsFile = builtins.fetchurl hostsPath;
+  in builtins.readFile "${hostsFile}";
+}
+```
+
+- NOTE: Change `hostsPath` if you need other versions of hosts file.
+- NOTE: The call to `fetchurl` is impure. Use `fetchFromGitHub` with the exact
+  commit if you want to always get the same result.
+
+### Nix Flake
+
+NixOS installations which are managed through _flakes_ can use the hosts file
+like this:
+
+```nix
+{
+  inputs.hosts.url = github:StevenBlack/hosts;
+  outputs = { self, nixpkgs, hosts }: {
+    nixosConfigurations.my-hostname = {
+      system = "<architecture>";
+      modules = [
+        hosts.nixosModule {
+          networking.stevenBlackHosts.enable = true;
+        }
+      ];
+    };
+  };
+}
+```
+
+The hosts extensions are also available with the following options:
+
+```nix
+{
+  networking.stevenBlackHosts = {
+    blockFakenews = true;
+    blockGambling = true;
+    blockPorn = true;
+    blockSocial = true;
+  };
+}
+```
+
+## Updating hosts file on Windows
+
+(NOTE: See also some third-party Hosts managers, listed below.)
+
+On Linux and macOS, run the Python script. On Windows more work is required due
+to compatibility issues so it's preferable to run the batch file as follows:
+
+```sh
+updateHostsWindows.bat
+```
+
+This file **MUST** be run in command prompt with administrator privileges in the
+repository directory. In addition to updating the hosts file, it can also
+replace the existing hosts file, and reload the DNS cache. It goes without
+saying that for this to work, you must be connected to the internet.
+
+To open a command prompt as administrator in the repository's directory, do the
+following:
+
+- **Windows XP**: Start → Run → `cmd`
+- **Windows Vista, 7**: Start Button → type `cmd` → right-click Command Prompt →
+  "Run as Administrator"
+- **Windows 8**: Start → Swipe Up → All Apps → Windows System → right-click
+  Command Prompt → "Run as Administrator"
+- **Windows 10**: Start Button → type `cmd` → right-click Command Prompt → "Run
+  as Administrator"
+
+You can also refer to the "Third-Party Hosts Managers" section for further
+recommended solutions from third parties.
+
+### Warning: Using this `hosts` file in Windows may require disabling DNS Cache service
+
+Windows has issues with larger hosts files. Recent changes in security within
+Windows 10 denies access to changing services via other tools except registry
+hacks. Use the `disable-dnscache-service-win.cmd` file to make proper changes to
+the Windows registry. You will need to reboot your device once that's done. See
+the
+[the comments within the `cmd` file](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/disable-dnscache-service-win.bat)
+for more details.
+
+## Reloading hosts file
+
+Your operating system will cache DNS lookups. You can either reboot or run the
+following commands to manually flush your DNS cache once the new hosts file is
+in place.
+
+The Google Chrome browser may require manually cleaning up its DNS Cache on
+`chrome://net-internals/#dns` page to thereafter see the changes in your hosts
+file. See: <https://superuser.com/questions/723703>
+
+### Windows
+
+Open a command prompt with administrator privileges and run this command:
+
+```bat
+ipconfig /flushdns
+```
+
+### Linux
+
+Open a Terminal and run with root privileges:
+
+- **Debian/Ubuntu** `sudo service network-manager restart`
+- **Linux Mint** `sudo /etc/init.d/dns-clean start`
+- **Linux with systemd**: `sudo systemctl restart network.service`
+- **Fedora Linux**: `sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager.service`
+- **Arch Linux/Manjaro with Network Manager**:
+  `sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager.service`
+- **Arch Linux/Manjaro with Wicd**: `sudo systemctl restart wicd.service`
+- **RHEL/Centos**: `sudo /etc/init.d/network restart`
+- **FreeBSD**: `sudo service nscd restart`
+
+  To enable the `nscd` daemon initially, it is recommended that you run the
+  following commands:
+
+  ```sh
+  sudo sysrc nscd_enable="YES"
+  sudo service nscd start
+  ```
+
+  Then modify the `hosts` line in your `/etc/nsswitch.conf` file to the
+  following:
+
+  ```text
+  hosts: cache files dns
+  ```
+
+- **NixOS**: The `nscd.service` is automatically restarted when the option
+  `networking.extraHosts` was changed.
+- **Others**: Consult
+  [this Wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_%28file%29#Location_in_the_file_system).
+
+### macOS
+
+As described in [this article](https://osxdaily.com/2022/11/21/how-clear-dns-cache-macos-ventura-monterey/),
+open a Terminal and run:
+
+```sh
+sudo dscacheutil -flushcache;sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
+```
+
+## Release management
+
+This repository uses [release-it](https://github.com/release-it/release-it), an
+excellent CLI release tool for GitHub repos and npm packages, to automate
+creating [releases](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/releases). This is why
+the
+[package.json](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/package.json)
+and
+[.release-it.json](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/.release-it.json)
+files are bundled.
+
+## Goals of this unified hosts file
+
+The goals of this repo are to:
+
+1. automatically combine high-quality lists of hosts,
+2. provide situation-appropriate extensions,
+3. de-dupe the resultant combined list,
+4. and keep the resultant file reasonably sized.
+
+A high-quality source is defined here as one that is actively curated. A hosts
+source should be frequently updated by its maintainers with both additions and
+removals. The larger the hosts file, the higher the level of curation is
+expected.
+
+It is expected that this unified hosts file will serve both desktop and mobile
+devices under a variety of operating systems.
+
+## Third-Party Hosts Managers
+
+- [Unified Hosts AutoUpdate](https://github.com/ScriptTiger/Unified-Hosts-AutoUpdate "Unified Hosts AutoUpdate")

+  unified hosts project as well as in active development by community members.
+  You can install and uninstall any blacklist and keep it automatically up to
+  date, and can be 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
+
+- [Hosts-BL](https://github.com/ScriptTiger/Hosts-BL "Hosts-BL") is a simple
+  tool to handle hosts file black lists. It can remove comments, remove
+  duplicates, compress to 9 domains per line, add IPv6 entries. In addition, it
+  can also convert black lists to multiple other black list formats compatible
+  with other software, such as dnsmasq, DualServer, RPZ, Privoxy, and Unbound,
+  to name a few.
+- [Host Minder](https://github.com/jeremehancock/hostminder#readme) is a simple
+  GUI that allows you to easily update your /etc/hosts file to one of four
+  consolidated hosts files from StevenBlack/hosts. It is provided as a deb
+  package and comes pre-installed on [UbuntuCE](https://ubuntuce.com/).
+- [Maza ad blocking](https://github.com/tanrax/maza-ad-blocking) is a bash
+  script that automatically updates host file. You can also update a fresh copy.
+  And each time it generates a dnsmasq-compatible configuration file. Fast
+  installation, compatible with MacOS, Linux and BSD.
+- [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

+
+
+**Expectation**: These unified hosts files should serve all devices, regardless
+of OS.
+
+## Sources of hosts data unified in this variant
+
+Updated `hosts` files from the following locations are always unified and
+included:
+
+| Host file source | Home page | Raw hosts | License | Issues | Description |
+| ---------------- | :-------: | :-------: | :-----: | :----: | ----------- |
+Fake News |[link](https://github.com/marktron/fakenews) | [raw](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/marktron/fakenews/master/fakenews) | MIT | [issues](https://github.com/marktron/fakenews/issues)| An in-progress collection of fake news outlets.
+
+
+## Extensions
+
+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`.
+
+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 are stored in the
+[`extensions`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/extensions)
+folder. You manage extensions by curating this folder tree, where you will find
+the data for `fakenews`, `social`, `gambling`, and `porn` extension data that we
+maintain and provide for you.
+
+## Generate your own unified hosts file
+
+You have three options to generate your own hosts file. You can use our
+container image, build your own image, or do it in your own environment. Option
+#1 is easiest if you have Linux with Docker installed.
+
+### Option 1: Use our container image (Linux only)
+
+> This will replace your `/etc/hosts`.
+
+We assume you have Docker available on your host. Just run the following
+command. Set extensions to your preference.
+
+```sh
+docker run --pull always --rm -it -v /etc/hosts:/etc/hosts \
+ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest updateHostsFile.py --auto \
+--replace --extensions gambling porn
+```
+
+If you want to add custom hosts or a whitelist, create either or both files as
+per [the instructions](#how-do-i-control-which-sources-are-unified) and add the
+following arguments _before_ `ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest` depending on
+which you wish to use.
+
+```sh
+-v "path/to/myhosts:/hosts/myhosts" \
+-v "path/to/whitelist:/hosts/whitelist" \
+```
+
+You can rerun this exact command later to update based on the latest available
+hosts (for example, add it to a weekly cron job).
+
+### Option 2: Generate your own container image
+
+We provide the
+[Dockerfile](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/Dockerfile) used
+by the previous step, which you can use to create a container image with
+everything you need. The container will contain Python 3 and all its dependency
+requirements, and a copy of the latest version of this repository.
+
+Build the Docker container from the root of this repo like this:
+
+```sh
+docker build --no-cache . -t stevenblack-hosts
+```
+
+Then run your command as such:
+
+```sh
+docker run --rm -it stevenblack-hosts updateHostsFile.py
+```
+
+> This will create the hosts file, and remove it with the container when done,
+> so not very useful. You can use the example in option #1 to add volumes so
+> files on your host are replaced.
+
+### Option 3: Generate it in your own environment
+
+To generate your own amalgamated hosts files you will need Python 3.6 or later.
+
+First, install the dependencies with:
+
+```sh
+pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+**Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies
+at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip
+[documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
+
+### Common steps regardless of your development environment
+
+To **run unit tests**, in the top-level directory, run:
+
+```sh
+python3 testUpdateHostsFile.py
+```
+
+The `updateHostsFile.py` script will generate a unified hosts file based on the
+sources in the local `data/` subfolder. The script will prompt you whether it
+should fetch updated versions (from locations defined by the `update.json` text
+file in each source's folder). Otherwise, it will use the `hosts` file that's
+already there.
+
+```sh
+python3 updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--replace] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]
+```
+
+#### Command line options
+
+`--help`, or `-h`: display help.
+
+`--auto`, or `-a`: run the script without prompting. When `--auto` is invoked,
+
+- Hosts data sources, including extensions, are updated.
+- No extensions are included by default. Use the `--extensions` or `-e` flag to
+  include any you want.
+- Your active hosts file is _not_ replaced unless you include the `--replace`
+  flag.
+
+`--backup`, or `-b`: Make a backup of existing hosts file(s) as you generate
+over them.
+
+`--extensions <ext1> <ext2> <ext3>`, or `-e <ext1> <ext2> <ext3>`: the names of
+subfolders below the `extensions` folder containing additional category-specific
+hosts files to include in the amalgamation. Example: `--extensions porn` or
+`-e social porn`.
+
+`--flush-dns-cache`, or `-f`: skip the prompt for flushing the DNS cache. Only
+active when `--replace` is also active.
+
+`--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn`, or `-i nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn`: the IP address to use as the
+target. Default is `0.0.0.0`.
+
+`--keepdomaincomments`, or `-k`: `true` (default) or `false`, keep the comments
+that appear on the same line as domains. The default is `true`.
+
+`--noupdate`, or `-n`: skip fetching updates from hosts data sources.
+
+`--output <subfolder>`, or `-o <subfolder>`: place the generated source file in
+a subfolder. If the subfolder does not exist, it will be created.
+
+`--replace`, or `-r`: trigger replacing your active hosts
+
+`--skipstatichosts`, or `-s`: `false` (default) or `true`, omit the standard
+section at the top, containing lines like `127.0.0.1 localhost`. This is useful
+for configuring proximate DNS services on the local network.
+
+`--nogendata`, or `-g`: `false` (default) or `true`, skip the generation of the
+readmeData.json file used for generating readme.md files. This is useful if you
+are generating host files with additional whitelists or blacklists and want to
+keep your local checkout of this repo unmodified.
+
+`--nounifiedhosts`: `false` (default) or `true`, do not include the unified hosts
+file in the final hosts file. Usually used together with `--extensions`.
+
+`--compress`, or `-c`: `false` (default) or `true`, _Compress_ the hosts file
+ignoring non-necessary lines (empty lines and comments) and putting multiple
+domains in each line. Reducing the number of lines of the hosts file improves
+the performances under Windows (with DNS Client service enabled).
+
+`--minimise`, or `-m`: `false` (default) or `true`, like `--compress`, but puts
+each domain on a separate line. This is necessary because many implementations
+of URL blockers that rely on `hosts` files do not conform to the standard which
+allows multiple hosts on a single line.
+
+`--blacklist <blacklistfile>`, or `-x <blacklistfile>`: Append the given
+blacklist file in hosts format to the generated hosts file.
+
+`--whitelist <whitelistfile>`, or `-w <whitelistfile>`: Use the given whitelist
+file to remove hosts from the generated hosts file.
+
+## How do I control which sources are unified?
+
+Add one or more _additional_ sources, each in a subfolder of the `data/` folder,
+and specify the `url` key in its `update.json` file.
+
+Add one or more _optional_ extensions, which originate from subfolders of the
+`extensions/` folder. Again the url in `update.json` controls where this
+extension finds its updates.
+
+Create an _optional_ `blacklist` file. The contents of this file (containing a
+listing of additional domains in `hosts` file format) are appended to the
+unified hosts file during the update process. A sample `blacklist` is included,
+and may be modified as you need.
+
+- NOTE: The `blacklist` is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't be
+  overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
+
+### How do I include my own custom domain mappings?
+
+If you have custom hosts records, place them in file `myhosts`. The contents of
+this file are prepended to the unified hosts file during the update process.
+
+The `myhosts` file is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't be
+overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
+
+### How do I prevent domains from being included?
+
+The domains you list in the `whitelist` file are excluded from the final hosts
+file.
+
+The `whitelist` uses partial matching. Therefore if you whitelist
+`google-analytics.com`, that domain and all its subdomains won't be merged into
+the final hosts file.
+
+The `whitelist` is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't be
+overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
+
+## How can I contribute hosts records?
+
+If you discover sketchy domains you feel should be included here, here are some
+ways to contribute them.
+
+### Option 1: contact one of our hosts sources
+
+The best way to get new domains included is to submit an issue to any of the
+data providers whose home pages are
+[listed here](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts#sources-of-hosts-data-unified-in-this-variant).
+This is best because once you submit new domains, they will be curated and
+updated by the dedicated folks who maintain these sources.
+
+### Option 2: Fork this repository, add your domains to Steven Black's personal data file, and submit a pull request
+
+Fork this hosts this repo and add your links to
+[https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts).
+
+Then, submit a pull request.
+
+**WARNING**: this is less desirable than Option 1 because the ongoing curation
+falls on us. So this creates more work for us.
+
+### Option 3: create your own hosts list as a repo on GitHub
+
+If you're able to curate your own collection of sketchy domains, then curate
+your own hosts list. 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.
+
+## What is a hosts file?
+
+A hosts file, named `hosts` (with no file extension), is a plain-text file used
+by all operating systems to map hostnames to IP addresses.
+
+In most operating systems, the `hosts` file is preferential to `DNS`. Therefore
+if a domain name is resolved by the `hosts` file, the request never leaves your
+computer.
+
+Having a smart `hosts` file goes a long way towards blocking malware, adware,
+and other irritants.
+
+For example, to nullify requests to some doubleclick.net servers, adding these
+lines to your hosts file will do it:
+
+```text
+# block doubleClick's servers
+0.0.0.0 ad.ae.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.ar.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.at.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.au.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.be.doubleclick.net
+# etc...
+```
+
+## 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.
+
+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.
+
+- **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.
+
+## Gentoo
+
+Gentoo users may find
+[`sb-hosts`](https://github.com/PF4Public/gentoo-overlay/tree/master/net-misc/sb-hosts)
+in [::pf4public](https://github.com/PF4Public/gentoo-overlay) Gentoo overlay
+
+## NixOS
+
+To install hosts file on your machine add the following into your
+`configuration.nix`:
+
+```nix
+{
+  networking.extraHosts = let
+    hostsPath = https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/hosts;
+    hostsFile = builtins.fetchurl hostsPath;
+  in builtins.readFile "${hostsFile}";
+}
+```
+
+- NOTE: Change `hostsPath` if you need other versions of hosts file.
+- NOTE: The call to `fetchurl` is impure. Use `fetchFromGitHub` with the exact
+  commit if you want to always get the same result.
+
+### Nix Flake
+
+NixOS installations which are managed through _flakes_ can use the hosts file
+like this:
+
+```nix
+{
+  inputs.hosts.url = github:StevenBlack/hosts;
+  outputs = { self, nixpkgs, hosts }: {
+    nixosConfigurations.my-hostname = {
+      system = "<architecture>";
+      modules = [
+        hosts.nixosModule {
+          networking.stevenBlackHosts.enable = true;
+        }
+      ];
+    };
+  };
+}
+```
+
+The hosts extensions are also available with the following options:
+
+```nix
+{
+  networking.stevenBlackHosts = {
+    blockFakenews = true;
+    blockGambling = true;
+    blockPorn = true;
+    blockSocial = true;
+  };
+}
+```
+
+## Updating hosts file on Windows
+
+(NOTE: See also some third-party Hosts managers, listed below.)
+
+On Linux and macOS, run the Python script. On Windows more work is required due
+to compatibility issues so it's preferable to run the batch file as follows:
+
+```sh
+updateHostsWindows.bat
+```
+
+This file **MUST** be run in command prompt with administrator privileges in the
+repository directory. In addition to updating the hosts file, it can also
+replace the existing hosts file, and reload the DNS cache. It goes without
+saying that for this to work, you must be connected to the internet.
+
+To open a command prompt as administrator in the repository's directory, do the
+following:
+
+- **Windows XP**: Start → Run → `cmd`
+- **Windows Vista, 7**: Start Button → type `cmd` → right-click Command Prompt →
+  "Run as Administrator"
+- **Windows 8**: Start → Swipe Up → All Apps → Windows System → right-click
+  Command Prompt → "Run as Administrator"
+- **Windows 10**: Start Button → type `cmd` → right-click Command Prompt → "Run
+  as Administrator"
+
+You can also refer to the "Third-Party Hosts Managers" section for further
+recommended solutions from third parties.
+
+### Warning: Using this `hosts` file in Windows may require disabling DNS Cache service
+
+Windows has issues with larger hosts files. Recent changes in security within
+Windows 10 denies access to changing services via other tools except registry
+hacks. Use the `disable-dnscache-service-win.cmd` file to make proper changes to
+the Windows registry. You will need to reboot your device once that's done. See
+the
+[the comments within the `cmd` file](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/disable-dnscache-service-win.bat)
+for more details.
+
+## Reloading hosts file
+
+Your operating system will cache DNS lookups. You can either reboot or run the
+following commands to manually flush your DNS cache once the new hosts file is
+in place.
+
+The Google Chrome browser may require manually cleaning up its DNS Cache on
+`chrome://net-internals/#dns` page to thereafter see the changes in your hosts
+file. See: <https://superuser.com/questions/723703>
+
+### Windows
+
+Open a command prompt with administrator privileges and run this command:
+
+```bat
+ipconfig /flushdns
+```
+
+### Linux
+
+Open a Terminal and run with root privileges:
+
+- **Debian/Ubuntu** `sudo service network-manager restart`
+- **Linux Mint** `sudo /etc/init.d/dns-clean start`
+- **Linux with systemd**: `sudo systemctl restart network.service`
+- **Fedora Linux**: `sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager.service`
+- **Arch Linux/Manjaro with Network Manager**:
+  `sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager.service`
+- **Arch Linux/Manjaro with Wicd**: `sudo systemctl restart wicd.service`
+- **RHEL/Centos**: `sudo /etc/init.d/network restart`
+- **FreeBSD**: `sudo service nscd restart`
+
+  To enable the `nscd` daemon initially, it is recommended that you run the
+  following commands:
+
+  ```sh
+  sudo sysrc nscd_enable="YES"
+  sudo service nscd start
+  ```
+
+  Then modify the `hosts` line in your `/etc/nsswitch.conf` file to the
+  following:
+
+  ```text
+  hosts: cache files dns
+  ```
+
+- **NixOS**: The `nscd.service` is automatically restarted when the option
+  `networking.extraHosts` was changed.
+- **Others**: Consult
+  [this Wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_%28file%29#Location_in_the_file_system).
+
+### macOS
+
+As described in [this article](https://osxdaily.com/2022/11/21/how-clear-dns-cache-macos-ventura-monterey/),
+open a Terminal and run:
+
+```sh
+sudo dscacheutil -flushcache;sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
+```
+
+## Release management
+
+This repository uses [release-it](https://github.com/release-it/release-it), an
+excellent CLI release tool for GitHub repos and npm packages, to automate
+creating [releases](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/releases). This is why
+the
+[package.json](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/package.json)
+and
+[.release-it.json](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/.release-it.json)
+files are bundled.
+
+## Goals of this unified hosts file
+
+The goals of this repo are to:
+
+1. automatically combine high-quality lists of hosts,
+2. provide situation-appropriate extensions,
+3. de-dupe the resultant combined list,
+4. and keep the resultant file reasonably sized.
+
+A high-quality source is defined here as one that is actively curated. A hosts
+source should be frequently updated by its maintainers with both additions and
+removals. The larger the hosts file, the higher the level of curation is
+expected.
+
+It is expected that this unified hosts file will serve both desktop and mobile
+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 AutoUpdate package is purpose-built for this
+  unified hosts project as well as in active development by community members.
+  You can install and uninstall any blacklist and keep it automatically up to
+  date, and can be 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.
+- [ViHoMa](https://github.com/cmabad/ViHoMa) is a Visual Hosts file Manager,
+  written in Java, by Christian Martínez. Check it out!
+
+## Interesting Applications
+
+- [Hosts-BL](https://github.com/ScriptTiger/Hosts-BL "Hosts-BL") is a simple
+  tool to handle hosts file black lists. It can remove comments, remove
+  duplicates, compress to 9 domains per line, add IPv6 entries. In addition, it
+  can also convert black lists to multiple other black list formats compatible
+  with other software, such as dnsmasq, DualServer, RPZ, Privoxy, and Unbound,
+  to name a few.
+- [Host Minder](https://github.com/jeremehancock/hostminder#readme) is a simple
+  GUI that allows you to easily update your /etc/hosts file to one of four
+  consolidated hosts files from StevenBlack/hosts. It is provided as a deb
+  package and comes pre-installed on [UbuntuCE](https://ubuntuce.com/).
+- [Maza ad blocking](https://github.com/tanrax/maza-ad-blocking) is a bash
+  script that automatically updates host file. You can also update a fresh copy.
+  And each time it generates a dnsmasq-compatible configuration file. Fast
+  installation, compatible with MacOS, Linux and BSD.
+- [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.
+- [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.
+- [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.
+- [Blocking ads and malwares with unbound](https://deadc0de.re/articles/unbound-blocking-ads.html "Blocking ads and malwares with unbound")
+  –
+  [Unbound](https://www.unbound.net/ "Unbound is a validating, recursive, and caching DNS resolver.")
+  is a validating, recursive, and caching DNS resolver.
+- [dnsmasq conversion script](https://gist.github.com/erlepereira/c11f4f7a3f60cd2071e79018e895fc8a#file-dnsmasq-antimalware)
+  This GitHub gist has a short shell script (bash, will work on any 'nix) and
+  uses `wget` & `awk` present in most distros, to fetch a specified hosts file
+  and convert it to the format required by dnsmasq. Supports IPv4 and IPv6.
+  Designed to be used as either a shell script, or can be dropped into
+  `/etc/cron.weekly` (or wherever suits). The script is short and easily edited,
+  also has a short document attached with notes on dnsmasq setup.
+- [BlackHosts - Command Line Installer/Updater](https://github.com/Lateralus138/blackhosts)
+  This is a cross-platform command line utility to help install/update hosts
+  files found at this repository.

+# Limited to the extensions: fakenews, porn
+
+This repository consolidates several reputable `hosts` files, and merges them
+into a unified hosts file with duplicates removed. A variety of tailored hosts
+files are provided.
+
+**Therefore this repository is a hosts file aggregator.**
+

+
+## List of all hosts file variants
+
+This repository offers
+[15 different host file variants](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/alternates),
+in addition to the base variant, with and without the unified hosts included.
+
+The **Non GitHub mirror** is the link to use for some hosts file managers like

+
+## Extensions
+
+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`.
+
+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 are stored in the
+[`extensions`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/extensions)
+folder. You manage extensions by curating this folder tree, where you will find
+the data for `fakenews`, `social`, `gambling`, and `porn` extension data that we
+maintain and provide for you.
+
+## Generate your own unified hosts file
+
+You have three options to generate your own hosts file. You can use our
+container image, build your own image, or do it in your own environment. Option
+#1 is easiest if you have Linux with Docker installed.
+
+### Option 1: Use our container image (Linux only)
+
+> This will replace your `/etc/hosts`.
+
+We assume you have Docker available on your host. Just run the following
+command. Set extensions to your preference.
+
+```sh
+docker run --pull always --rm -it -v /etc/hosts:/etc/hosts \
+ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest updateHostsFile.py --auto \
+--replace --extensions gambling porn
+```
+
+If you want to add custom hosts or a whitelist, create either or both files as
+per [the instructions](#how-do-i-control-which-sources-are-unified) and add the
+following arguments _before_ `ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest` depending on
+which you wish to use.
+
+```sh
+-v "path/to/myhosts:/hosts/myhosts" \
+-v "path/to/whitelist:/hosts/whitelist" \
+```
+
+You can rerun this exact command later to update based on the latest available
+hosts (for example, add it to a weekly cron job).
+
+### Option 2: Generate your own container image
+
+We provide the
+[Dockerfile](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/Dockerfile) used
+by the previous step, which you can use to create a container image with
+everything you need. The container will contain Python 3 and all its dependency
+requirements, and a copy of the latest version of this repository.
+
+Build the Docker container from the root of this repo like this:
+
+```sh
+docker build --no-cache . -t stevenblack-hosts
+```
+
+Then run your command as such:
+
+```sh
+docker run --rm -it stevenblack-hosts updateHostsFile.py
+```
+
+> This will create the hosts file, and remove it with the container when done,
+> so not very useful. You can use the example in option #1 to add volumes so
+> files on your host are replaced.
+
+### Option 3: Generate it in your own environment
+
+To generate your own amalgamated hosts files you will need Python 3.6 or later.
+
+First, install the dependencies with:
+
+```sh
+pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+**Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies
+at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip
+[documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
+
+### Common steps regardless of your development environment
+
+To **run unit tests**, in the top-level directory, run:
+
+```sh
+python3 testUpdateHostsFile.py
+```
+
+The `updateHostsFile.py` script will generate a unified hosts file based on the
+sources in the local `data/` subfolder. The script will prompt you whether it
+should fetch updated versions (from locations defined by the `update.json` text
+file in each source's folder). Otherwise, it will use the `hosts` file that's
+already there.
+
+```sh
+python3 updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--replace] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]
+```
+
+#### Command line options
+
+`--help`, or `-h`: display help.
+
+`--auto`, or `-a`: run the script without prompting. When `--auto` is invoked,
+
+- Hosts data sources, including extensions, are updated.
+- No extensions are included by default. Use the `--extensions` or `-e` flag to
+  include any you want.
+- Your active hosts file is _not_ replaced unless you include the `--replace`
+  flag.
+
+`--backup`, or `-b`: Make a backup of existing hosts file(s) as you generate
+over them.
+
+`--extensions <ext1> <ext2> <ext3>`, or `-e <ext1> <ext2> <ext3>`: the names of
+subfolders below the `extensions` folder containing additional category-specific
+hosts files to include in the amalgamation. Example: `--extensions porn` or
+`-e social porn`.
+
+`--flush-dns-cache`, or `-f`: skip the prompt for flushing the DNS cache. Only
+active when `--replace` is also active.
+
+`--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn`, or `-i nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn`: the IP address to use as the
+target. Default is `0.0.0.0`.
+
+`--keepdomaincomments`, or `-k`: `true` (default) or `false`, keep the comments
+that appear on the same line as domains. The default is `true`.
+
+`--noupdate`, or `-n`: skip fetching updates from hosts data sources.
+
+`--output <subfolder>`, or `-o <subfolder>`: place the generated source file in
+a subfolder. If the subfolder does not exist, it will be created.
+
+`--replace`, or `-r`: trigger replacing your active hosts
+
+`--skipstatichosts`, or `-s`: `false` (default) or `true`, omit the standard
+section at the top, containing lines like `127.0.0.1 localhost`. This is useful
+for configuring proximate DNS services on the local network.
+
+`--nogendata`, or `-g`: `false` (default) or `true`, skip the generation of the
+readmeData.json file used for generating readme.md files. This is useful if you
+are generating host files with additional whitelists or blacklists and want to
+keep your local checkout of this repo unmodified.
+
+`--nounifiedhosts`: `false` (default) or `true`, do not include the unified hosts
+file in the final hosts file. Usually used together with `--extensions`.
+
+`--compress`, or `-c`: `false` (default) or `true`, _Compress_ the hosts file
+ignoring non-necessary lines (empty lines and comments) and putting multiple
+domains in each line. Reducing the number of lines of the hosts file improves
+the performances under Windows (with DNS Client service enabled).
+
+`--minimise`, or `-m`: `false` (default) or `true`, like `--compress`, but puts
+each domain on a separate line. This is necessary because many implementations
+of URL blockers that rely on `hosts` files do not conform to the standard which
+allows multiple hosts on a single line.
+
+`--blacklist <blacklistfile>`, or `-x <blacklistfile>`: Append the given
+blacklist file in hosts format to the generated hosts file.
+
+`--whitelist <whitelistfile>`, or `-w <whitelistfile>`: Use the given whitelist
+file to remove hosts from the generated hosts file.
+
+## How do I control which sources are unified?
+
+Add one or more _additional_ sources, each in a subfolder of the `data/` folder,
+and specify the `url` key in its `update.json` file.
+
+Add one or more _optional_ extensions, which originate from subfolders of the
+`extensions/` folder. Again the url in `update.json` controls where this
+extension finds its updates.
+
+Create an _optional_ `blacklist` file. The contents of this file (containing a
+listing of additional domains in `hosts` file format) are appended to the
+unified hosts file during the update process. A sample `blacklist` is included,
+and may be modified as you need.
+
+- NOTE: The `blacklist` is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't be
+  overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
+
+### How do I include my own custom domain mappings?
+
+If you have custom hosts records, place them in file `myhosts`. The contents of
+this file are prepended to the unified hosts file during the update process.
+
+The `myhosts` file is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't be
+overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
+
+### How do I prevent domains from being included?
+
+The domains you list in the `whitelist` file are excluded from the final hosts
+file.
+
+The `whitelist` uses partial matching. Therefore if you whitelist
+`google-analytics.com`, that domain and all its subdomains won't be merged into
+the final hosts file.
+
+The `whitelist` is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't be
+overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
+
+## How can I contribute hosts records?
+
+If you discover sketchy domains you feel should be included here, here are some
+ways to contribute them.
+
+### Option 1: contact one of our hosts sources
+
+The best way to get new domains included is to submit an issue to any of the
+data providers whose home pages are
+[listed here](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts#sources-of-hosts-data-unified-in-this-variant).
+This is best because once you submit new domains, they will be curated and
+updated by the dedicated folks who maintain these sources.
+
+### Option 2: Fork this repository, add your domains to Steven Black's personal data file, and submit a pull request
+
+Fork this hosts this repo and add your links to
+[https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts).
+
+Then, submit a pull request.
+
+**WARNING**: this is less desirable than Option 1 because the ongoing curation
+falls on us. So this creates more work for us.
+
+### Option 3: create your own hosts list as a repo on GitHub
+
+If you're able to curate your own collection of sketchy domains, then curate
+your own hosts list. 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.
+
+## What is a hosts file?
+
+A hosts file, named `hosts` (with no file extension), is a plain-text file used
+by all operating systems to map hostnames to IP addresses.
+
+In most operating systems, the `hosts` file is preferential to `DNS`. Therefore
+if a domain name is resolved by the `hosts` file, the request never leaves your
+computer.
+
+Having a smart `hosts` file goes a long way towards blocking malware, adware,
+and other irritants.
+
+For example, to nullify requests to some doubleclick.net servers, adding these
+lines to your hosts file will do it:
+
+```text
+# block doubleClick's servers
+0.0.0.0 ad.ae.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.ar.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.at.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.au.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.be.doubleclick.net
+# etc...
+```
+
+## 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.
+
+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.
+
+- **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.
+
+## Gentoo
+
+Gentoo users may find
+[`sb-hosts`](https://github.com/PF4Public/gentoo-overlay/tree/master/net-misc/sb-hosts)
+in [::pf4public](https://github.com/PF4Public/gentoo-overlay) Gentoo overlay
+
+## NixOS
+
+To install hosts file on your machine add the following into your
+`configuration.nix`:
+
+```nix
+{
+  networking.extraHosts = let
+    hostsPath = https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/hosts;
+    hostsFile = builtins.fetchurl hostsPath;
+  in builtins.readFile "${hostsFile}";
+}
+```
+
+- NOTE: Change `hostsPath` if you need other versions of hosts file.
+- NOTE: The call to `fetchurl` is impure. Use `fetchFromGitHub` with the exact
+  commit if you want to always get the same result.
+
+### Nix Flake
+
+NixOS installations which are managed through _flakes_ can use the hosts file
+like this:
+
+```nix
+{
+  inputs.hosts.url = github:StevenBlack/hosts;
+  outputs = { self, nixpkgs, hosts }: {
+    nixosConfigurations.my-hostname = {
+      system = "<architecture>";
+      modules = [
+        hosts.nixosModule {
+          networking.stevenBlackHosts.enable = true;
+        }
+      ];
+    };
+  };
+}
+```
+
+The hosts extensions are also available with the following options:
+
+```nix
+{
+  networking.stevenBlackHosts = {
+    blockFakenews = true;
+    blockGambling = true;
+    blockPorn = true;
+    blockSocial = true;
+  };
+}
+```
+
+## Updating hosts file on Windows
+
+(NOTE: See also some third-party Hosts managers, listed below.)
+
+On Linux and macOS, run the Python script. On Windows more work is required due
+to compatibility issues so it's preferable to run the batch file as follows:
+
+```sh
+updateHostsWindows.bat
+```
+
+This file **MUST** be run in command prompt with administrator privileges in the
+repository directory. In addition to updating the hosts file, it can also
+replace the existing hosts file, and reload the DNS cache. It goes without
+saying that for this to work, you must be connected to the internet.
+
+To open a command prompt as administrator in the repository's directory, do the
+following:
+
+- **Windows XP**: Start → Run → `cmd`
+- **Windows Vista, 7**: Start Button → type `cmd` → right-click Command Prompt →
+  "Run as Administrator"
+- **Windows 8**: Start → Swipe Up → All Apps → Windows System → right-click
+  Command Prompt → "Run as Administrator"
+- **Windows 10**: Start Button → type `cmd` → right-click Command Prompt → "Run
+  as Administrator"
+
+You can also refer to the "Third-Party Hosts Managers" section for further
+recommended solutions from third parties.
+
+### Warning: Using this `hosts` file in Windows may require disabling DNS Cache service
+
+Windows has issues with larger hosts files. Recent changes in security within
+Windows 10 denies access to changing services via other tools except registry
+hacks. Use the `disable-dnscache-service-win.cmd` file to make proper changes to
+the Windows registry. You will need to reboot your device once that's done. See
+the
+[the comments within the `cmd` file](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/disable-dnscache-service-win.bat)
+for more details.
+
+## Reloading hosts file
+
+Your operating system will cache DNS lookups. You can either reboot or run the
+following commands to manually flush your DNS cache once the new hosts file is
+in place.
+
+The Google Chrome browser may require manually cleaning up its DNS Cache on
+`chrome://net-internals/#dns` page to thereafter see the changes in your hosts
+file. See: <https://superuser.com/questions/723703>
+
+### Windows
+
+Open a command prompt with administrator privileges and run this command:
+
+```bat
+ipconfig /flushdns
+```
+
+### Linux
+
+Open a Terminal and run with root privileges:
+
+- **Debian/Ubuntu** `sudo service network-manager restart`
+- **Linux Mint** `sudo /etc/init.d/dns-clean start`
+- **Linux with systemd**: `sudo systemctl restart network.service`
+- **Fedora Linux**: `sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager.service`
+- **Arch Linux/Manjaro with Network Manager**:
+  `sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager.service`
+- **Arch Linux/Manjaro with Wicd**: `sudo systemctl restart wicd.service`
+- **RHEL/Centos**: `sudo /etc/init.d/network restart`
+- **FreeBSD**: `sudo service nscd restart`
+
+  To enable the `nscd` daemon initially, it is recommended that you run the
+  following commands:
+
+  ```sh
+  sudo sysrc nscd_enable="YES"
+  sudo service nscd start
+  ```
+
+  Then modify the `hosts` line in your `/etc/nsswitch.conf` file to the
+  following:
+
+  ```text
+  hosts: cache files dns
+  ```
+
+- **NixOS**: The `nscd.service` is automatically restarted when the option
+  `networking.extraHosts` was changed.
+- **Others**: Consult
+  [this Wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_%28file%29#Location_in_the_file_system).
+
+### macOS
+
+As described in [this article](https://osxdaily.com/2022/11/21/how-clear-dns-cache-macos-ventura-monterey/),
+open a Terminal and run:
+
+```sh
+sudo dscacheutil -flushcache;sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
+```
+
+## Release management
+
+This repository uses [release-it](https://github.com/release-it/release-it), an
+excellent CLI release tool for GitHub repos and npm packages, to automate
+creating [releases](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/releases). This is why
+the
+[package.json](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/package.json)
+and
+[.release-it.json](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/.release-it.json)
+files are bundled.
+
+## Goals of this unified hosts file
+
+The goals of this repo are to:
+
+1. automatically combine high-quality lists of hosts,
+2. provide situation-appropriate extensions,
+3. de-dupe the resultant combined list,
+4. and keep the resultant file reasonably sized.
+
+A high-quality source is defined here as one that is actively curated. A hosts
+source should be frequently updated by its maintainers with both additions and
+removals. The larger the hosts file, the higher the level of curation is
+expected.
+
+It is expected that this unified hosts file will serve both desktop and mobile
+devices under a variety of operating systems.
+

+
+
+## Extensions
+
+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`.
+
+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 are stored in the
+[`extensions`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/extensions)
+folder. You manage extensions by curating this folder tree, where you will find
+the data for `fakenews`, `social`, `gambling`, and `porn` extension data that we
+maintain and provide for you.
+
+## Generate your own unified hosts file
+
+You have three options to generate your own hosts file. You can use our
+container image, build your own image, or do it in your own environment. Option
+#1 is easiest if you have Linux with Docker installed.
+
+### Option 1: Use our container image (Linux only)
+
+> This will replace your `/etc/hosts`.
+
+We assume you have Docker available on your host. Just run the following
+command. Set extensions to your preference.
+
+```sh
+docker run --pull always --rm -it -v /etc/hosts:/etc/hosts \
+ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest updateHostsFile.py --auto \
+--replace --extensions gambling porn
+```
+
+If you want to add custom hosts or a whitelist, create either or both files as
+per [the instructions](#how-do-i-control-which-sources-are-unified) and add the
+following arguments _before_ `ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest` depending on
+which you wish to use.
+
+```sh
+-v "path/to/myhosts:/hosts/myhosts" \
+-v "path/to/whitelist:/hosts/whitelist" \
+```
+
+You can rerun this exact command later to update based on the latest available
+hosts (for example, add it to a weekly cron job).
+
+### Option 2: Generate your own container image
+
+We provide the
+[Dockerfile](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/Dockerfile) used
+by the previous step, which you can use to create a container image with
+everything you need. The container will contain Python 3 and all its dependency
+requirements, and a copy of the latest version of this repository.
+
+Build the Docker container from the root of this repo like this:
+
+```sh
+docker build --no-cache . -t stevenblack-hosts
+```
+
+Then run your command as such:
+
+```sh
+docker run --rm -it stevenblack-hosts updateHostsFile.py
+```
+
+> This will create the hosts file, and remove it with the container when done,
+> so not very useful. You can use the example in option #1 to add volumes so
+> files on your host are replaced.
+
+### Option 3: Generate it in your own environment
+
+To generate your own amalgamated hosts files you will need Python 3.6 or later.
+
+First, install the dependencies with:
+
+```sh
+pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+**Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies
+at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip
+[documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
+
+### Common steps regardless of your development environment
+
+To **run unit tests**, in the top-level directory, run:
+
+```sh
+python3 testUpdateHostsFile.py
+```
+
+The `updateHostsFile.py` script will generate a unified hosts file based on the
+sources in the local `data/` subfolder. The script will prompt you whether it
+should fetch updated versions (from locations defined by the `update.json` text
+file in each source's folder). Otherwise, it will use the `hosts` file that's
+already there.
+
+```sh
+python3 updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--replace] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]
+```
+
+#### Command line options
+
+`--help`, or `-h`: display help.
+
+`--auto`, or `-a`: run the script without prompting. When `--auto` is invoked,
+
+- Hosts data sources, including extensions, are updated.
+- No extensions are included by default. Use the `--extensions` or `-e` flag to
+  include any you want.
+- Your active hosts file is _not_ replaced unless you include the `--replace`
+  flag.
+
+`--backup`, or `-b`: Make a backup of existing hosts file(s) as you generate
+over them.
+
+`--extensions <ext1> <ext2> <ext3>`, or `-e <ext1> <ext2> <ext3>`: the names of
+subfolders below the `extensions` folder containing additional category-specific
+hosts files to include in the amalgamation. Example: `--extensions porn` or
+`-e social porn`.
+
+`--flush-dns-cache`, or `-f`: skip the prompt for flushing the DNS cache. Only
+active when `--replace` is also active.
+
+`--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn`, or `-i nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn`: the IP address to use as the
+target. Default is `0.0.0.0`.
+
+`--keepdomaincomments`, or `-k`: `true` (default) or `false`, keep the comments
+that appear on the same line as domains. The default is `true`.
+
+`--noupdate`, or `-n`: skip fetching updates from hosts data sources.
+
+`--output <subfolder>`, or `-o <subfolder>`: place the generated source file in
+a subfolder. If the subfolder does not exist, it will be created.
+
+`--replace`, or `-r`: trigger replacing your active hosts
+
+`--skipstatichosts`, or `-s`: `false` (default) or `true`, omit the standard
+section at the top, containing lines like `127.0.0.1 localhost`. This is useful
+for configuring proximate DNS services on the local network.
+
+`--nogendata`, or `-g`: `false` (default) or `true`, skip the generation of the
+readmeData.json file used for generating readme.md files. This is useful if you
+are generating host files with additional whitelists or blacklists and want to
+keep your local checkout of this repo unmodified.
+
+`--nounifiedhosts`: `false` (default) or `true`, do not include the unified hosts
+file in the final hosts file. Usually used together with `--extensions`.
+
+`--compress`, or `-c`: `false` (default) or `true`, _Compress_ the hosts file
+ignoring non-necessary lines (empty lines and comments) and putting multiple
+domains in each line. Reducing the number of lines of the hosts file improves
+the performances under Windows (with DNS Client service enabled).
+
+`--minimise`, or `-m`: `false` (default) or `true`, like `--compress`, but puts
+each domain on a separate line. This is necessary because many implementations
+of URL blockers that rely on `hosts` files do not conform to the standard which
+allows multiple hosts on a single line.
+
+`--blacklist <blacklistfile>`, or `-x <blacklistfile>`: Append the given
+blacklist file in hosts format to the generated hosts file.
+
+`--whitelist <whitelistfile>`, or `-w <whitelistfile>`: Use the given whitelist
+file to remove hosts from the generated hosts file.
+
+## How do I control which sources are unified?
+
+Add one or more _additional_ sources, each in a subfolder of the `data/` folder,
+and specify the `url` key in its `update.json` file.
+
+Add one or more _optional_ extensions, which originate from subfolders of the
+`extensions/` folder. Again the url in `update.json` controls where this
+extension finds its updates.
+
+Create an _optional_ `blacklist` file. The contents of this file (containing a
+listing of additional domains in `hosts` file format) are appended to the
+unified hosts file during the update process. A sample `blacklist` is included,
+and may be modified as you need.
+
+- NOTE: The `blacklist` is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't be
+  overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
+
+### How do I include my own custom domain mappings?
+
+If you have custom hosts records, place them in file `myhosts`. The contents of
+this file are prepended to the unified hosts file during the update process.
+
+The `myhosts` file is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't be
+overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
+
+### How do I prevent domains from being included?
+
+The domains you list in the `whitelist` file are excluded from the final hosts
+file.
+
+The `whitelist` uses partial matching. Therefore if you whitelist
+`google-analytics.com`, that domain and all its subdomains won't be merged into
+the final hosts file.
+
+The `whitelist` is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't be
+overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
+
+## How can I contribute hosts records?
+
+If you discover sketchy domains you feel should be included here, here are some
+ways to contribute them.
+
+### Option 1: contact one of our hosts sources
+
+The best way to get new domains included is to submit an issue to any of the
+data providers whose home pages are
+[listed here](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts#sources-of-hosts-data-unified-in-this-variant).
+This is best because once you submit new domains, they will be curated and
+updated by the dedicated folks who maintain these sources.
+
+### Option 2: Fork this repository, add your domains to Steven Black's personal data file, and submit a pull request
+
+Fork this hosts this repo and add your links to
+[https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts).
+
+Then, submit a pull request.
+
+**WARNING**: this is less desirable than Option 1 because the ongoing curation
+falls on us. So this creates more work for us.
+
+### Option 3: create your own hosts list as a repo on GitHub
+
+If you're able to curate your own collection of sketchy domains, then curate
+your own hosts list. 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.
+
+## What is a hosts file?
+
+A hosts file, named `hosts` (with no file extension), is a plain-text file used
+by all operating systems to map hostnames to IP addresses.
+
+In most operating systems, the `hosts` file is preferential to `DNS`. Therefore
+if a domain name is resolved by the `hosts` file, the request never leaves your
+computer.
+
+Having a smart `hosts` file goes a long way towards blocking malware, adware,
+and other irritants.
+
+For example, to nullify requests to some doubleclick.net servers, adding these
+lines to your hosts file will do it:
+
+```text
+# block doubleClick's servers
+0.0.0.0 ad.ae.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.ar.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.at.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.au.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.be.doubleclick.net
+# etc...
+```
+
+## 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.
+
+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.
+
+- **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.
+
+## Gentoo
+
+Gentoo users may find
+[`sb-hosts`](https://github.com/PF4Public/gentoo-overlay/tree/master/net-misc/sb-hosts)
+in [::pf4public](https://github.com/PF4Public/gentoo-overlay) Gentoo overlay
+
+## NixOS
+
+To install hosts file on your machine add the following into your
+`configuration.nix`:
+
+```nix
+{
+  networking.extraHosts = let
+    hostsPath = https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/hosts;
+    hostsFile = builtins.fetchurl hostsPath;
+  in builtins.readFile "${hostsFile}";
+}
+```
+
+- NOTE: Change `hostsPath` if you need other versions of hosts file.
+- NOTE: The call to `fetchurl` is impure. Use `fetchFromGitHub` with the exact
+  commit if you want to always get the same result.
+
+### Nix Flake
+
+NixOS installations which are managed through _flakes_ can use the hosts file
+like this:
+
+```nix
+{
+  inputs.hosts.url = github:StevenBlack/hosts;
+  outputs = { self, nixpkgs, hosts }: {
+    nixosConfigurations.my-hostname = {
+      system = "<architecture>";
+      modules = [
+        hosts.nixosModule {
+          networking.stevenBlackHosts.enable = true;
+        }
+      ];
+    };
+  };
+}
+```
+
+The hosts extensions are also available with the following options:
+
+```nix
+{
+  networking.stevenBlackHosts = {
+    blockFakenews = true;
+    blockGambling = true;
+    blockPorn = true;
+    blockSocial = true;
+  };
+}
+```
+
+## Updating hosts file on Windows
+
+(NOTE: See also some third-party Hosts managers, listed below.)
+
+On Linux and macOS, run the Python script. On Windows more work is required due
+to compatibility issues so it's preferable to run the batch file as follows:
+
+```sh
+updateHostsWindows.bat
+```
+
+This file **MUST** be run in command prompt with administrator privileges in the
+repository directory. In addition to updating the hosts file, it can also
+replace the existing hosts file, and reload the DNS cache. It goes without
+saying that for this to work, you must be connected to the internet.
+
+To open a command prompt as administrator in the repository's directory, do the
+following:
+
+- **Windows XP**: Start → Run → `cmd`
+- **Windows Vista, 7**: Start Button → type `cmd` → right-click Command Prompt →
+  "Run as Administrator"
+- **Windows 8**: Start → Swipe Up → All Apps → Windows System → right-click
+  Command Prompt → "Run as Administrator"
+- **Windows 10**: Start Button → type `cmd` → right-click Command Prompt → "Run
+  as Administrator"
+
+You can also refer to the "Third-Party Hosts Managers" section for further
+recommended solutions from third parties.
+
+### Warning: Using this `hosts` file in Windows may require disabling DNS Cache service
+
+Windows has issues with larger hosts files. Recent changes in security within
+Windows 10 denies access to changing services via other tools except registry
+hacks. Use the `disable-dnscache-service-win.cmd` file to make proper changes to
+the Windows registry. You will need to reboot your device once that's done. See
+the
+[the comments within the `cmd` file](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/disable-dnscache-service-win.bat)
+for more details.
+
+## Reloading hosts file
+
+Your operating system will cache DNS lookups. You can either reboot or run the
+following commands to manually flush your DNS cache once the new hosts file is
+in place.
+
+The Google Chrome browser may require manually cleaning up its DNS Cache on
+`chrome://net-internals/#dns` page to thereafter see the changes in your hosts
+file. See: <https://superuser.com/questions/723703>
+
+### Windows
+
+Open a command prompt with administrator privileges and run this command:
+
+```bat
+ipconfig /flushdns
+```
+
+### Linux
+
+Open a Terminal and run with root privileges:
+
+- **Debian/Ubuntu** `sudo service network-manager restart`
+- **Linux Mint** `sudo /etc/init.d/dns-clean start`
+- **Linux with systemd**: `sudo systemctl restart network.service`
+- **Fedora Linux**: `sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager.service`
+- **Arch Linux/Manjaro with Network Manager**:
+  `sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager.service`
+- **Arch Linux/Manjaro with Wicd**: `sudo systemctl restart wicd.service`
+- **RHEL/Centos**: `sudo /etc/init.d/network restart`
+- **FreeBSD**: `sudo service nscd restart`
+
+  To enable the `nscd` daemon initially, it is recommended that you run the
+  following commands:
+
+  ```sh
+  sudo sysrc nscd_enable="YES"
+  sudo service nscd start
+  ```
+
+  Then modify the `hosts` line in your `/etc/nsswitch.conf` file to the
+  following:
+
+  ```text
+  hosts: cache files dns
+  ```
+
+- **NixOS**: The `nscd.service` is automatically restarted when the option
+  `networking.extraHosts` was changed.
+- **Others**: Consult
+  [this Wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_%28file%29#Location_in_the_file_system).
+
+### macOS
+
+As described in [this article](https://osxdaily.com/2022/11/21/how-clear-dns-cache-macos-ventura-monterey/),
+open a Terminal and run:
+
+```sh
+sudo dscacheutil -flushcache;sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
+```
+
+## Release management
+
+This repository uses [release-it](https://github.com/release-it/release-it), an
+excellent CLI release tool for GitHub repos and npm packages, to automate
+creating [releases](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/releases). This is why
+the
+[package.json](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/package.json)
+and
+[.release-it.json](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/.release-it.json)
+files are bundled.
+
+## Goals of this unified hosts file
+
+The goals of this repo are to:
+
+1. automatically combine high-quality lists of hosts,
+2. provide situation-appropriate extensions,
+3. de-dupe the resultant combined list,
+4. and keep the resultant file reasonably sized.
+
+A high-quality source is defined here as one that is actively curated. A hosts
+source should be frequently updated by its maintainers with both additions and
+removals. The larger the hosts file, the higher the level of curation is
+expected.
+
+It is expected that this unified hosts file will serve both desktop and mobile
+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 AutoUpdate package is purpose-built for this
+  unified hosts project as well as in active development by community members.
+  You can install and uninstall any blacklist and keep it automatically up to
+  date, and can be 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.
+- [ViHoMa](https://github.com/cmabad/ViHoMa) is a Visual Hosts file Manager,
+  written in Java, by Christian Martínez. Check it out!
+
+## Interesting Applications
+
+- [Hosts-BL](https://github.com/ScriptTiger/Hosts-BL "Hosts-BL") is a simple
+  tool to handle hosts file black lists. It can remove comments, remove
+  duplicates, compress to 9 domains per line, add IPv6 entries. In addition, it
+  can also convert black lists to multiple other black list formats compatible
+  with other software, such as dnsmasq, DualServer, RPZ, Privoxy, and Unbound,
+  to name a few.
+- [Host Minder](https://github.com/jeremehancock/hostminder#readme) is a simple
+  GUI that allows you to easily update your /etc/hosts file to one of four
+  consolidated hosts files from StevenBlack/hosts. It is provided as a deb
+  package and comes pre-installed on [UbuntuCE](https://ubuntuce.com/).
+- [Maza ad blocking](https://github.com/tanrax/maza-ad-blocking) is a bash
+  script that automatically updates host file. You can also update a fresh copy.
+  And each time it generates a dnsmasq-compatible configuration file. Fast
+  installation, compatible with MacOS, Linux and BSD.
+- [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.
+- [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.
+- [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.
+- [Blocking ads and malwares with unbound](https://deadc0de.re/articles/unbound-blocking-ads.html "Blocking ads and malwares with unbound")
+  –
+  [Unbound](https://www.unbound.net/ "Unbound is a validating, recursive, and caching DNS resolver.")
+  is a validating, recursive, and caching DNS resolver.
+- [dnsmasq conversion script](https://gist.github.com/erlepereira/c11f4f7a3f60cd2071e79018e895fc8a#file-dnsmasq-antimalware)
+  This GitHub gist has a short shell script (bash, will work on any 'nix) and
+  uses `wget` & `awk` present in most distros, to fetch a specified hosts file
+  and convert it to the format required by dnsmasq. Supports IPv4 and IPv6.
+  Designed to be used as either a shell script, or can be dropped into
+  `/etc/cron.weekly` (or wherever suits). The script is short and easily edited,
+  also has a short document attached with notes on dnsmasq setup.
+- [BlackHosts - Command Line Installer/Updater](https://github.com/Lateralus138/blackhosts)
+  This is a cross-platform command line utility to help install/update hosts
+  files found at this repository.
+- [dnscrypt-proxy](https://github.com/DNSCrypt/dnscrypt-proxy/wiki/Combining-Blocklists)
+  provides a tool to build block lists from local and remote lists in common
+  formats.
+- [Control D](https://controld.com/free-dns)
+  offers a public anycast network hosted mirror of the Unified (Adware + Malware) blocklist:
+  - Legacy DNS: `76.76.2.35`, `76.76.10.35`, `2606:1a40::35`, `2606:1a40:1::35`

+# Limited to the extensions: fakenews, social
+
+This repository consolidates several reputable `hosts` files, and merges them
+into a unified hosts file with duplicates removed. A variety of tailored hosts
+files are provided.
+
+**Therefore this repository is a hosts file aggregator.**

+## Sources of hosts data unified in this variant

+
+
+## Extensions
+
+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`.
+
+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 are stored in the
+[`extensions`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/extensions)
+folder. You manage extensions by curating this folder tree, where you will find
+the data for `fakenews`, `social`, `gambling`, and `porn` extension data that we
+maintain and provide for you.
+
+## Generate your own unified hosts file
+
+You have three options to generate your own hosts file. You can use our
+container image, build your own image, or do it in your own environment. Option
+#1 is easiest if you have Linux with Docker installed.
+
+### Option 1: Use our container image (Linux only)
+
+> This will replace your `/etc/hosts`.
+
+We assume you have Docker available on your host. Just run the following
+command. Set extensions to your preference.
+
+```sh
+docker run --pull always --rm -it -v /etc/hosts:/etc/hosts \
+ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest updateHostsFile.py --auto \
+--replace --extensions gambling porn
+```
+
+If you want to add custom hosts or a whitelist, create either or both files as
+per [the instructions](#how-do-i-control-which-sources-are-unified) and add the
+following arguments _before_ `ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest` depending on
+which you wish to use.
+
+```sh
+-v "path/to/myhosts:/hosts/myhosts" \
+-v "path/to/whitelist:/hosts/whitelist" \
+```
+
+You can rerun this exact command later to update based on the latest available
+hosts (for example, add it to a weekly cron job).
+
+### Option 2: Generate your own container image
+
+We provide the
+[Dockerfile](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/Dockerfile) used
+by the previous step, which you can use to create a container image with
+everything you need. The container will contain Python 3 and all its dependency
+requirements, and a copy of the latest version of this repository.
+
+Build the Docker container from the root of this repo like this:
+
+```sh
+docker build --no-cache . -t stevenblack-hosts
+```
+
+Then run your command as such:
+
+```sh
+docker run --rm -it stevenblack-hosts updateHostsFile.py
+```
+
+> This will create the hosts file, and remove it with the container when done,
+> so not very useful. You can use the example in option #1 to add volumes so
+> files on your host are replaced.
+
+### Option 3: Generate it in your own environment
+
+To generate your own amalgamated hosts files you will need Python 3.6 or later.
+
+First, install the dependencies with:
+
+```sh
+pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+**Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies
+at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip
+[documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
+
+### Common steps regardless of your development environment
+
+To **run unit tests**, in the top-level directory, run:
+
+```sh
+python3 testUpdateHostsFile.py
+```
+
+The `updateHostsFile.py` script will generate a unified hosts file based on the
+sources in the local `data/` subfolder. The script will prompt you whether it
+should fetch updated versions (from locations defined by the `update.json` text
+file in each source's folder). Otherwise, it will use the `hosts` file that's
+already there.
+
+```sh
+python3 updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--replace] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]
+```
+
+#### Command line options
+
+`--help`, or `-h`: display help.
+
+`--auto`, or `-a`: run the script without prompting. When `--auto` is invoked,
+
+- Hosts data sources, including extensions, are updated.
+- No extensions are included by default. Use the `--extensions` or `-e` flag to
+  include any you want.
+- Your active hosts file is _not_ replaced unless you include the `--replace`
+  flag.
+
+`--backup`, or `-b`: Make a backup of existing hosts file(s) as you generate
+over them.
+
+`--extensions <ext1> <ext2> <ext3>`, or `-e <ext1> <ext2> <ext3>`: the names of
+subfolders below the `extensions` folder containing additional category-specific
+hosts files to include in the amalgamation. Example: `--extensions porn` or
+`-e social porn`.
+
+`--flush-dns-cache`, or `-f`: skip the prompt for flushing the DNS cache. Only
+active when `--replace` is also active.
+
+`--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn`, or `-i nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn`: the IP address to use as the
+target. Default is `0.0.0.0`.
+
+`--keepdomaincomments`, or `-k`: `true` (default) or `false`, keep the comments
+that appear on the same line as domains. The default is `true`.
+
+`--noupdate`, or `-n`: skip fetching updates from hosts data sources.
+
+`--output <subfolder>`, or `-o <subfolder>`: place the generated source file in
+a subfolder. If the subfolder does not exist, it will be created.
+
+`--replace`, or `-r`: trigger replacing your active hosts
+
+`--skipstatichosts`, or `-s`: `false` (default) or `true`, omit the standard
+section at the top, containing lines like `127.0.0.1 localhost`. This is useful
+for configuring proximate DNS services on the local network.
+
+`--nogendata`, or `-g`: `false` (default) or `true`, skip the generation of the
+readmeData.json file used for generating readme.md files. This is useful if you
+are generating host files with additional whitelists or blacklists and want to
+keep your local checkout of this repo unmodified.
+
+`--nounifiedhosts`: `false` (default) or `true`, do not include the unified hosts
+file in the final hosts file. Usually used together with `--extensions`.
+
+`--compress`, or `-c`: `false` (default) or `true`, _Compress_ the hosts file
+ignoring non-necessary lines (empty lines and comments) and putting multiple
+domains in each line. Reducing the number of lines of the hosts file improves
+the performances under Windows (with DNS Client service enabled).
+
+`--minimise`, or `-m`: `false` (default) or `true`, like `--compress`, but puts
+each domain on a separate line. This is necessary because many implementations
+of URL blockers that rely on `hosts` files do not conform to the standard which
+allows multiple hosts on a single line.
+
+`--blacklist <blacklistfile>`, or `-x <blacklistfile>`: Append the given
+blacklist file in hosts format to the generated hosts file.
+
+`--whitelist <whitelistfile>`, or `-w <whitelistfile>`: Use the given whitelist
+file to remove hosts from the generated hosts file.
+
+## How do I control which sources are unified?
+
+Add one or more _additional_ sources, each in a subfolder of the `data/` folder,
+and specify the `url` key in its `update.json` file.
+
+Add one or more _optional_ extensions, which originate from subfolders of the
+`extensions/` folder. Again the url in `update.json` controls where this
+extension finds its updates.
+
+Create an _optional_ `blacklist` file. The contents of this file (containing a
+listing of additional domains in `hosts` file format) are appended to the
+unified hosts file during the update process. A sample `blacklist` is included,
+and may be modified as you need.
+
+- NOTE: The `blacklist` is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't be
+  overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
+
+### How do I include my own custom domain mappings?
+
+If you have custom hosts records, place them in file `myhosts`. The contents of
+this file are prepended to the unified hosts file during the update process.
+
+The `myhosts` file is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't be
+overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
+
+### How do I prevent domains from being included?
+
+The domains you list in the `whitelist` file are excluded from the final hosts
+file.
+
+The `whitelist` uses partial matching. Therefore if you whitelist
+`google-analytics.com`, that domain and all its subdomains won't be merged into
+the final hosts file.
+
+The `whitelist` is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't be
+overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
+
+## How can I contribute hosts records?
+
+If you discover sketchy domains you feel should be included here, here are some
+ways to contribute them.
+
+### Option 1: contact one of our hosts sources
+
+The best way to get new domains included is to submit an issue to any of the
+data providers whose home pages are
+[listed here](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts#sources-of-hosts-data-unified-in-this-variant).
+This is best because once you submit new domains, they will be curated and
+updated by the dedicated folks who maintain these sources.
+
+### Option 2: Fork this repository, add your domains to Steven Black's personal data file, and submit a pull request
+
+Fork this hosts this repo and add your links to
+[https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts).
+
+Then, submit a pull request.
+
+**WARNING**: this is less desirable than Option 1 because the ongoing curation
+falls on us. So this creates more work for us.
+
+### Option 3: create your own hosts list as a repo on GitHub
+
+If you're able to curate your own collection of sketchy domains, then curate
+your own hosts list. 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.
+
+## What is a hosts file?
+
+A hosts file, named `hosts` (with no file extension), is a plain-text file used
+by all operating systems to map hostnames to IP addresses.
+
+In most operating systems, the `hosts` file is preferential to `DNS`. Therefore
+if a domain name is resolved by the `hosts` file, the request never leaves your
+computer.
+
+Having a smart `hosts` file goes a long way towards blocking malware, adware,
+and other irritants.
+
+For example, to nullify requests to some doubleclick.net servers, adding these
+lines to your hosts file will do it:
+
+```text
+# block doubleClick's servers
+0.0.0.0 ad.ae.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.ar.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.at.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.au.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.be.doubleclick.net
+# etc...
+```
+
+## 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.
+
+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.
+
+- **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.
+
+## Gentoo
+
+Gentoo users may find
+[`sb-hosts`](https://github.com/PF4Public/gentoo-overlay/tree/master/net-misc/sb-hosts)
+in [::pf4public](https://github.com/PF4Public/gentoo-overlay) Gentoo overlay
+
+## NixOS
+
+To install hosts file on your machine add the following into your
+`configuration.nix`:
+
+```nix
+{
+  networking.extraHosts = let
+    hostsPath = https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/hosts;
+    hostsFile = builtins.fetchurl hostsPath;
+  in builtins.readFile "${hostsFile}";
+}
+```
+
+- NOTE: Change `hostsPath` if you need other versions of hosts file.
+- NOTE: The call to `fetchurl` is impure. Use `fetchFromGitHub` with the exact
+  commit if you want to always get the same result.
+
+### Nix Flake
+
+NixOS installations which are managed through _flakes_ can use the hosts file
+like this:
+
+```nix
+{
+  inputs.hosts.url = github:StevenBlack/hosts;
+  outputs = { self, nixpkgs, hosts }: {
+    nixosConfigurations.my-hostname = {
+      system = "<architecture>";
+      modules = [
+        hosts.nixosModule {
+          networking.stevenBlackHosts.enable = true;
+        }
+      ];
+    };
+  };
+}
+```
+
+The hosts extensions are also available with the following options:
+
+```nix
+{
+  networking.stevenBlackHosts = {
+    blockFakenews = true;
+    blockGambling = true;
+    blockPorn = true;
+    blockSocial = true;
+  };
+}
+```
+
+## Updating hosts file on Windows
+
+(NOTE: See also some third-party Hosts managers, listed below.)
+
+On Linux and macOS, run the Python script. On Windows more work is required due
+to compatibility issues so it's preferable to run the batch file as follows:
+
+```sh
+updateHostsWindows.bat
+```
+
+This file **MUST** be run in command prompt with administrator privileges in the
+repository directory. In addition to updating the hosts file, it can also
+replace the existing hosts file, and reload the DNS cache. It goes without
+saying that for this to work, you must be connected to the internet.
+
+To open a command prompt as administrator in the repository's directory, do the
+following:
+
+- **Windows XP**: Start → Run → `cmd`
+- **Windows Vista, 7**: Start Button → type `cmd` → right-click Command Prompt →
+  "Run as Administrator"
+- **Windows 8**: Start → Swipe Up → All Apps → Windows System → right-click
+  Command Prompt → "Run as Administrator"
+- **Windows 10**: Start Button → type `cmd` → right-click Command Prompt → "Run
+  as Administrator"
+
+You can also refer to the "Third-Party Hosts Managers" section for further
+recommended solutions from third parties.
+
+### Warning: Using this `hosts` file in Windows may require disabling DNS Cache service
+
+Windows has issues with larger hosts files. Recent changes in security within
+Windows 10 denies access to changing services via other tools except registry
+hacks. Use the `disable-dnscache-service-win.cmd` file to make proper changes to
+the Windows registry. You will need to reboot your device once that's done. See
+the
+[the comments within the `cmd` file](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/disable-dnscache-service-win.bat)
+for more details.
+
+## Reloading hosts file
+
+Your operating system will cache DNS lookups. You can either reboot or run the
+following commands to manually flush your DNS cache once the new hosts file is
+in place.
+
+The Google Chrome browser may require manually cleaning up its DNS Cache on
+`chrome://net-internals/#dns` page to thereafter see the changes in your hosts
+file. See: <https://superuser.com/questions/723703>
+
+### Windows
+
+Open a command prompt with administrator privileges and run this command:
+
+```bat
+ipconfig /flushdns
+```
+
+### Linux
+
+Open a Terminal and run with root privileges:
+
+- **Debian/Ubuntu** `sudo service network-manager restart`
+- **Linux Mint** `sudo /etc/init.d/dns-clean start`
+- **Linux with systemd**: `sudo systemctl restart network.service`
+- **Fedora Linux**: `sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager.service`
+- **Arch Linux/Manjaro with Network Manager**:
+  `sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager.service`
+- **Arch Linux/Manjaro with Wicd**: `sudo systemctl restart wicd.service`
+- **RHEL/Centos**: `sudo /etc/init.d/network restart`
+- **FreeBSD**: `sudo service nscd restart`
+
+  To enable the `nscd` daemon initially, it is recommended that you run the
+  following commands:
+
+  ```sh
+  sudo sysrc nscd_enable="YES"
+  sudo service nscd start
+  ```
+
+  Then modify the `hosts` line in your `/etc/nsswitch.conf` file to the
+  following:
+
+  ```text
+  hosts: cache files dns
+  ```
+
+- **NixOS**: The `nscd.service` is automatically restarted when the option
+  `networking.extraHosts` was changed.
+- **Others**: Consult
+  [this Wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_%28file%29#Location_in_the_file_system).
+
+### macOS
+
+As described in [this article](https://osxdaily.com/2022/11/21/how-clear-dns-cache-macos-ventura-monterey/),
+open a Terminal and run:
+
+```sh
+sudo dscacheutil -flushcache;sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
+```
+
+## Release management
+
+This repository uses [release-it](https://github.com/release-it/release-it), an
+excellent CLI release tool for GitHub repos and npm packages, to automate
+creating [releases](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/releases). This is why
+the
+[package.json](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/package.json)
+and
+[.release-it.json](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/.release-it.json)
+files are bundled.
+
+## Goals of this unified hosts file
+
+The goals of this repo are to:
+
+1. automatically combine high-quality lists of hosts,
+2. provide situation-appropriate extensions,
+3. de-dupe the resultant combined list,
+4. and keep the resultant file reasonably sized.
+
+A high-quality source is defined here as one that is actively curated. A hosts
+source should be frequently updated by its maintainers with both additions and
+removals. The larger the hosts file, the higher the level of curation is
+expected.
+
+It is expected that this unified hosts file will serve both desktop and mobile
+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 AutoUpdate package is purpose-built for this
+  unified hosts project as well as in active development by community members.
+  You can install and uninstall any blacklist and keep it automatically up to
+  date, and can be 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.
+- [ViHoMa](https://github.com/cmabad/ViHoMa) is a Visual Hosts file Manager,
+  written in Java, by Christian Martínez. Check it out!
+
+## Interesting Applications
+
+- [Hosts-BL](https://github.com/ScriptTiger/Hosts-BL "Hosts-BL") is a simple
+  tool to handle hosts file black lists. It can remove comments, remove
+  duplicates, compress to 9 domains per line, add IPv6 entries. In addition, it
+  can also convert black lists to multiple other black list formats compatible
+  with other software, such as dnsmasq, DualServer, RPZ, Privoxy, and Unbound,
+  to name a few.
+- [Host Minder](https://github.com/jeremehancock/hostminder#readme) is a simple
+  GUI that allows you to easily update your /etc/hosts file to one of four
+  consolidated hosts files from StevenBlack/hosts. It is provided as a deb
+  package and comes pre-installed on [UbuntuCE](https://ubuntuce.com/).
+- [Maza ad blocking](https://github.com/tanrax/maza-ad-blocking) is a bash
+  script that automatically updates host file. You can also update a fresh copy.
+  And each time it generates a dnsmasq-compatible configuration file. Fast
+  installation, compatible with MacOS, Linux and BSD.
+- [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.

+  that runs on [Raspberry Pi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi).
+  Pi-hole uses this repository as one of its sources.
+- [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.

+
+
+## Extensions
+
+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`.
+
+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 are stored in the
+[`extensions`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/extensions)
+folder. You manage extensions by curating this folder tree, where you will find
+the data for `fakenews`, `social`, `gambling`, and `porn` extension data that we
+maintain and provide for you.
+
+## Generate your own unified hosts file
+
+You have three options to generate your own hosts file. You can use our
+container image, build your own image, or do it in your own environment. Option
+#1 is easiest if you have Linux with Docker installed.
+
+### Option 1: Use our container image (Linux only)
+
+> This will replace your `/etc/hosts`.
+
+We assume you have Docker available on your host. Just run the following
+command. Set extensions to your preference.
+
+```sh
+docker run --pull always --rm -it -v /etc/hosts:/etc/hosts \
+ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest updateHostsFile.py --auto \
+--replace --extensions gambling porn
+```
+
+If you want to add custom hosts or a whitelist, create either or both files as
+per [the instructions](#how-do-i-control-which-sources-are-unified) and add the
+following arguments _before_ `ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest` depending on
+which you wish to use.
+
+```sh
+-v "path/to/myhosts:/hosts/myhosts" \
+-v "path/to/whitelist:/hosts/whitelist" \
+```
+
+You can rerun this exact command later to update based on the latest available
+hosts (for example, add it to a weekly cron job).
+
+### Option 2: Generate your own container image
+
+We provide the
+[Dockerfile](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/Dockerfile) used
+by the previous step, which you can use to create a container image with
+everything you need. The container will contain Python 3 and all its dependency
+requirements, and a copy of the latest version of this repository.
+
+Build the Docker container from the root of this repo like this:
+
+```sh
+docker build --no-cache . -t stevenblack-hosts
+```
+
+Then run your command as such:
+
+```sh
+docker run --rm -it stevenblack-hosts updateHostsFile.py
+```
+
+> This will create the hosts file, and remove it with the container when done,
+> so not very useful. You can use the example in option #1 to add volumes so
+> files on your host are replaced.
+
+### Option 3: Generate it in your own environment
+
+To generate your own amalgamated hosts files you will need Python 3.6 or later.
+
+First, install the dependencies with:
+
+```sh
+pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+**Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies
+at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip
+[documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
+
+### Common steps regardless of your development environment
+
+To **run unit tests**, in the top-level directory, run:
+
+```sh
+python3 testUpdateHostsFile.py
+```
+
+The `updateHostsFile.py` script will generate a unified hosts file based on the
+sources in the local `data/` subfolder. The script will prompt you whether it
+should fetch updated versions (from locations defined by the `update.json` text
+file in each source's folder). Otherwise, it will use the `hosts` file that's
+already there.
+
+```sh
+python3 updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--replace] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]
+```
+
+#### Command line options
+
+`--help`, or `-h`: display help.
+
+`--auto`, or `-a`: run the script without prompting. When `--auto` is invoked,
+
+- Hosts data sources, including extensions, are updated.
+- No extensions are included by default. Use the `--extensions` or `-e` flag to
+  include any you want.
+- Your active hosts file is _not_ replaced unless you include the `--replace`
+  flag.
+
+`--backup`, or `-b`: Make a backup of existing hosts file(s) as you generate
+over them.
+
+`--extensions <ext1> <ext2> <ext3>`, or `-e <ext1> <ext2> <ext3>`: the names of
+subfolders below the `extensions` folder containing additional category-specific
+hosts files to include in the amalgamation. Example: `--extensions porn` or
+`-e social porn`.
+
+`--flush-dns-cache`, or `-f`: skip the prompt for flushing the DNS cache. Only
+active when `--replace` is also active.
+
+`--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn`, or `-i nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn`: the IP address to use as the
+target. Default is `0.0.0.0`.
+
+`--keepdomaincomments`, or `-k`: `true` (default) or `false`, keep the comments
+that appear on the same line as domains. The default is `true`.
+
+`--noupdate`, or `-n`: skip fetching updates from hosts data sources.
+
+`--output <subfolder>`, or `-o <subfolder>`: place the generated source file in
+a subfolder. If the subfolder does not exist, it will be created.
+
+`--replace`, or `-r`: trigger replacing your active hosts
+
+`--skipstatichosts`, or `-s`: `false` (default) or `true`, omit the standard
+section at the top, containing lines like `127.0.0.1 localhost`. This is useful
+for configuring proximate DNS services on the local network.
+
+`--nogendata`, or `-g`: `false` (default) or `true`, skip the generation of the
+readmeData.json file used for generating readme.md files. This is useful if you
+are generating host files with additional whitelists or blacklists and want to
+keep your local checkout of this repo unmodified.
+
+`--nounifiedhosts`: `false` (default) or `true`, do not include the unified hosts
+file in the final hosts file. Usually used together with `--extensions`.
+
+`--compress`, or `-c`: `false` (default) or `true`, _Compress_ the hosts file
+ignoring non-necessary lines (empty lines and comments) and putting multiple
+domains in each line. Reducing the number of lines of the hosts file improves
+the performances under Windows (with DNS Client service enabled).
+
+`--minimise`, or `-m`: `false` (default) or `true`, like `--compress`, but puts
+each domain on a separate line. This is necessary because many implementations
+of URL blockers that rely on `hosts` files do not conform to the standard which
+allows multiple hosts on a single line.
+
+`--blacklist <blacklistfile>`, or `-x <blacklistfile>`: Append the given
+blacklist file in hosts format to the generated hosts file.
+
+`--whitelist <whitelistfile>`, or `-w <whitelistfile>`: Use the given whitelist
+file to remove hosts from the generated hosts file.
+
+## How do I control which sources are unified?
+
+Add one or more _additional_ sources, each in a subfolder of the `data/` folder,
+and specify the `url` key in its `update.json` file.
+
+Add one or more _optional_ extensions, which originate from subfolders of the
+`extensions/` folder. Again the url in `update.json` controls where this
+extension finds its updates.
+
+Create an _optional_ `blacklist` file. The contents of this file (containing a
+listing of additional domains in `hosts` file format) are appended to the
+unified hosts file during the update process. A sample `blacklist` is included,
+and may be modified as you need.
+
+- NOTE: The `blacklist` is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't be
+  overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
+
+### How do I include my own custom domain mappings?
+
+If you have custom hosts records, place them in file `myhosts`. The contents of
+this file are prepended to the unified hosts file during the update process.
+
+The `myhosts` file is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't be
+overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
+
+### How do I prevent domains from being included?
+
+The domains you list in the `whitelist` file are excluded from the final hosts
+file.
+
+The `whitelist` uses partial matching. Therefore if you whitelist
+`google-analytics.com`, that domain and all its subdomains won't be merged into
+the final hosts file.
+
+The `whitelist` is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't be
+overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
+
+## How can I contribute hosts records?
+
+If you discover sketchy domains you feel should be included here, here are some
+ways to contribute them.
+
+### Option 1: contact one of our hosts sources
+
+The best way to get new domains included is to submit an issue to any of the
+data providers whose home pages are
+[listed here](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts#sources-of-hosts-data-unified-in-this-variant).
+This is best because once you submit new domains, they will be curated and
+updated by the dedicated folks who maintain these sources.
+
+### Option 2: Fork this repository, add your domains to Steven Black's personal data file, and submit a pull request
+
+Fork this hosts this repo and add your links to
+[https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts).
+
+Then, submit a pull request.
+
+**WARNING**: this is less desirable than Option 1 because the ongoing curation
+falls on us. So this creates more work for us.
+
+### Option 3: create your own hosts list as a repo on GitHub
+
+If you're able to curate your own collection of sketchy domains, then curate
+your own hosts list. 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.
+
+## What is a hosts file?
+
+A hosts file, named `hosts` (with no file extension), is a plain-text file used
+by all operating systems to map hostnames to IP addresses.
+
+In most operating systems, the `hosts` file is preferential to `DNS`. Therefore
+if a domain name is resolved by the `hosts` file, the request never leaves your
+computer.
+
+Having a smart `hosts` file goes a long way towards blocking malware, adware,
+and other irritants.
+
+For example, to nullify requests to some doubleclick.net servers, adding these
+lines to your hosts file will do it:
+
+```text
+# block doubleClick's servers
+0.0.0.0 ad.ae.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.ar.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.at.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.au.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.be.doubleclick.net
+# etc...
+```
+
+## 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.
+
+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.
+
+- **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.
+
+## Gentoo
+
+Gentoo users may find
+[`sb-hosts`](https://github.com/PF4Public/gentoo-overlay/tree/master/net-misc/sb-hosts)
+in [::pf4public](https://github.com/PF4Public/gentoo-overlay) Gentoo overlay
+
+## NixOS
+
+To install hosts file on your machine add the following into your
+`configuration.nix`:
+
+```nix
+{
+  networking.extraHosts = let
+    hostsPath = https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/hosts;
+    hostsFile = builtins.fetchurl hostsPath;
+  in builtins.readFile "${hostsFile}";
+}
+```
+
+- NOTE: Change `hostsPath` if you need other versions of hosts file.
+- NOTE: The call to `fetchurl` is impure. Use `fetchFromGitHub` with the exact
+  commit if you want to always get the same result.
+
+### Nix Flake
+
+NixOS installations which are managed through _flakes_ can use the hosts file
+like this:
+
+```nix
+{
+  inputs.hosts.url = github:StevenBlack/hosts;
+  outputs = { self, nixpkgs, hosts }: {
+    nixosConfigurations.my-hostname = {
+      system = "<architecture>";
+      modules = [
+        hosts.nixosModule {
+          networking.stevenBlackHosts.enable = true;
+        }
+      ];
+    };
+  };
+}
+```
+
+The hosts extensions are also available with the following options:
+
+```nix
+{
+  networking.stevenBlackHosts = {
+    blockFakenews = true;
+    blockGambling = true;
+    blockPorn = true;
+    blockSocial = true;
+  };
+}
+```
+
+## Updating hosts file on Windows
+
+(NOTE: See also some third-party Hosts managers, listed below.)
+
+On Linux and macOS, run the Python script. On Windows more work is required due
+to compatibility issues so it's preferable to run the batch file as follows:
+
+```sh
+updateHostsWindows.bat
+```
+
+This file **MUST** be run in command prompt with administrator privileges in the
+repository directory. In addition to updating the hosts file, it can also
+replace the existing hosts file, and reload the DNS cache. It goes without
+saying that for this to work, you must be connected to the internet.
+
+To open a command prompt as administrator in the repository's directory, do the
+following:
+
+- **Windows XP**: Start → Run → `cmd`
+- **Windows Vista, 7**: Start Button → type `cmd` → right-click Command Prompt →
+  "Run as Administrator"
+- **Windows 8**: Start → Swipe Up → All Apps → Windows System → right-click
+  Command Prompt → "Run as Administrator"
+- **Windows 10**: Start Button → type `cmd` → right-click Command Prompt → "Run
+  as Administrator"
+
+You can also refer to the "Third-Party Hosts Managers" section for further
+recommended solutions from third parties.
+
+### Warning: Using this `hosts` file in Windows may require disabling DNS Cache service
+
+Windows has issues with larger hosts files. Recent changes in security within
+Windows 10 denies access to changing services via other tools except registry
+hacks. Use the `disable-dnscache-service-win.cmd` file to make proper changes to
+the Windows registry. You will need to reboot your device once that's done. See
+the
+[the comments within the `cmd` file](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/disable-dnscache-service-win.bat)
+for more details.
+
+## Reloading hosts file
+
+Your operating system will cache DNS lookups. You can either reboot or run the
+following commands to manually flush your DNS cache once the new hosts file is
+in place.
+
+The Google Chrome browser may require manually cleaning up its DNS Cache on
+`chrome://net-internals/#dns` page to thereafter see the changes in your hosts
+file. See: <https://superuser.com/questions/723703>
+
+### Windows
+
+Open a command prompt with administrator privileges and run this command:
+
+```bat
+ipconfig /flushdns
+```
+
+### Linux
+
+Open a Terminal and run with root privileges:
+
+- **Debian/Ubuntu** `sudo service network-manager restart`
+- **Linux Mint** `sudo /etc/init.d/dns-clean start`
+- **Linux with systemd**: `sudo systemctl restart network.service`
+- **Fedora Linux**: `sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager.service`
+- **Arch Linux/Manjaro with Network Manager**:
+  `sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager.service`
+- **Arch Linux/Manjaro with Wicd**: `sudo systemctl restart wicd.service`
+- **RHEL/Centos**: `sudo /etc/init.d/network restart`
+- **FreeBSD**: `sudo service nscd restart`
+
+  To enable the `nscd` daemon initially, it is recommended that you run the
+  following commands:
+
+  ```sh
+  sudo sysrc nscd_enable="YES"
+  sudo service nscd start
+  ```
+
+  Then modify the `hosts` line in your `/etc/nsswitch.conf` file to the
+  following:
+
+  ```text
+  hosts: cache files dns
+  ```
+
+- **NixOS**: The `nscd.service` is automatically restarted when the option
+  `networking.extraHosts` was changed.
+- **Others**: Consult
+  [this Wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_%28file%29#Location_in_the_file_system).
+
+### macOS
+
+As described in [this article](https://osxdaily.com/2022/11/21/how-clear-dns-cache-macos-ventura-monterey/),
+open a Terminal and run:
+
+```sh
+sudo dscacheutil -flushcache;sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
+```
+
+## Release management
+
+This repository uses [release-it](https://github.com/release-it/release-it), an
+excellent CLI release tool for GitHub repos and npm packages, to automate
+creating [releases](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/releases). This is why
+the
+[package.json](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/package.json)
+and
+[.release-it.json](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/.release-it.json)
+files are bundled.
+
+## Goals of this unified hosts file
+
+The goals of this repo are to:
+
+1. automatically combine high-quality lists of hosts,
+2. provide situation-appropriate extensions,
+3. de-dupe the resultant combined list,
+4. and keep the resultant file reasonably sized.
+
+A high-quality source is defined here as one that is actively curated. A hosts
+source should be frequently updated by its maintainers with both additions and
+removals. The larger the hosts file, the higher the level of curation is
+expected.
+
+It is expected that this unified hosts file will serve both desktop and mobile
+devices under a variety of operating systems.
+
+## Third-Party Hosts Managers

+
+
+## Extensions
+
+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`.
+
+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 are stored in the
+[`extensions`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/extensions)
+folder. You manage extensions by curating this folder tree, where you will find
+the data for `fakenews`, `social`, `gambling`, and `porn` extension data that we
+maintain and provide for you.
+
+## Generate your own unified hosts file
+
+You have three options to generate your own hosts file. You can use our
+container image, build your own image, or do it in your own environment. Option
+#1 is easiest if you have Linux with Docker installed.
+
+### Option 1: Use our container image (Linux only)
+
+> This will replace your `/etc/hosts`.
+
+We assume you have Docker available on your host. Just run the following
+command. Set extensions to your preference.
+
+```sh
+docker run --pull always --rm -it -v /etc/hosts:/etc/hosts \
+ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest updateHostsFile.py --auto \
+--replace --extensions gambling porn
+```
+
+If you want to add custom hosts or a whitelist, create either or both files as
+per [the instructions](#how-do-i-control-which-sources-are-unified) and add the
+following arguments _before_ `ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest` depending on
+which you wish to use.
+
+```sh
+-v "path/to/myhosts:/hosts/myhosts" \
+-v "path/to/whitelist:/hosts/whitelist" \
+```
+
+You can rerun this exact command later to update based on the latest available
+hosts (for example, add it to a weekly cron job).
+
+### Option 2: Generate your own container image
+
+We provide the
+[Dockerfile](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/Dockerfile) used
+by the previous step, which you can use to create a container image with
+everything you need. The container will contain Python 3 and all its dependency
+requirements, and a copy of the latest version of this repository.
+
+Build the Docker container from the root of this repo like this:
+
+```sh
+docker build --no-cache . -t stevenblack-hosts
+```
+
+Then run your command as such:
+
+```sh
+docker run --rm -it stevenblack-hosts updateHostsFile.py
+```
+
+> This will create the hosts file, and remove it with the container when done,
+> so not very useful. You can use the example in option #1 to add volumes so
+> files on your host are replaced.
+
+### Option 3: Generate it in your own environment
+
+To generate your own amalgamated hosts files you will need Python 3.6 or later.
+
+First, install the dependencies with:
+
+```sh
+pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+**Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies
+at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip
+[documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
+
+### Common steps regardless of your development environment
+
+To **run unit tests**, in the top-level directory, run:
+
+```sh
+python3 testUpdateHostsFile.py
+```
+
+The `updateHostsFile.py` script will generate a unified hosts file based on the
+sources in the local `data/` subfolder. The script will prompt you whether it
+should fetch updated versions (from locations defined by the `update.json` text
+file in each source's folder). Otherwise, it will use the `hosts` file that's
+already there.
+
+```sh
+python3 updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--replace] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]
+```
+
+#### Command line options
+
+`--help`, or `-h`: display help.
+
+`--auto`, or `-a`: run the script without prompting. When `--auto` is invoked,
+
+- Hosts data sources, including extensions, are updated.
+- No extensions are included by default. Use the `--extensions` or `-e` flag to
+  include any you want.
+- Your active hosts file is _not_ replaced unless you include the `--replace`
+  flag.
+
+`--backup`, or `-b`: Make a backup of existing hosts file(s) as you generate
+over them.
+
+`--extensions <ext1> <ext2> <ext3>`, or `-e <ext1> <ext2> <ext3>`: the names of
+subfolders below the `extensions` folder containing additional category-specific
+hosts files to include in the amalgamation. Example: `--extensions porn` or
+`-e social porn`.
+
+`--flush-dns-cache`, or `-f`: skip the prompt for flushing the DNS cache. Only
+active when `--replace` is also active.
+
+`--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn`, or `-i nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn`: the IP address to use as the
+target. Default is `0.0.0.0`.
+
+`--keepdomaincomments`, or `-k`: `true` (default) or `false`, keep the comments
+that appear on the same line as domains. The default is `true`.
+
+`--noupdate`, or `-n`: skip fetching updates from hosts data sources.
+
+`--output <subfolder>`, or `-o <subfolder>`: place the generated source file in
+a subfolder. If the subfolder does not exist, it will be created.
+
+`--replace`, or `-r`: trigger replacing your active hosts
+
+`--skipstatichosts`, or `-s`: `false` (default) or `true`, omit the standard
+section at the top, containing lines like `127.0.0.1 localhost`. This is useful
+for configuring proximate DNS services on the local network.
+
+`--nogendata`, or `-g`: `false` (default) or `true`, skip the generation of the
+readmeData.json file used for generating readme.md files. This is useful if you
+are generating host files with additional whitelists or blacklists and want to
+keep your local checkout of this repo unmodified.
+
+`--nounifiedhosts`: `false` (default) or `true`, do not include the unified hosts
+file in the final hosts file. Usually used together with `--extensions`.
+
+`--compress`, or `-c`: `false` (default) or `true`, _Compress_ the hosts file
+ignoring non-necessary lines (empty lines and comments) and putting multiple
+domains in each line. Reducing the number of lines of the hosts file improves
+the performances under Windows (with DNS Client service enabled).
+
+`--minimise`, or `-m`: `false` (default) or `true`, like `--compress`, but puts
+each domain on a separate line. This is necessary because many implementations
+of URL blockers that rely on `hosts` files do not conform to the standard which
+allows multiple hosts on a single line.
+
+`--blacklist <blacklistfile>`, or `-x <blacklistfile>`: Append the given
+blacklist file in hosts format to the generated hosts file.
+
+`--whitelist <whitelistfile>`, or `-w <whitelistfile>`: Use the given whitelist
+file to remove hosts from the generated hosts file.
+
+## How do I control which sources are unified?
+
+Add one or more _additional_ sources, each in a subfolder of the `data/` folder,
+and specify the `url` key in its `update.json` file.
+
+Add one or more _optional_ extensions, which originate from subfolders of the
+`extensions/` folder. Again the url in `update.json` controls where this
+extension finds its updates.
+
+Create an _optional_ `blacklist` file. The contents of this file (containing a
+listing of additional domains in `hosts` file format) are appended to the
+unified hosts file during the update process. A sample `blacklist` is included,
+and may be modified as you need.
+
+- NOTE: The `blacklist` is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't be
+  overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
+
+### How do I include my own custom domain mappings?
+
+If you have custom hosts records, place them in file `myhosts`. The contents of
+this file are prepended to the unified hosts file during the update process.
+
+The `myhosts` file is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't be
+overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
+
+### How do I prevent domains from being included?
+
+The domains you list in the `whitelist` file are excluded from the final hosts
+file.
+
+The `whitelist` uses partial matching. Therefore if you whitelist
+`google-analytics.com`, that domain and all its subdomains won't be merged into
+the final hosts file.
+
+The `whitelist` is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't be
+overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
+
+## How can I contribute hosts records?
+
+If you discover sketchy domains you feel should be included here, here are some
+ways to contribute them.
+
+### Option 1: contact one of our hosts sources
+
+The best way to get new domains included is to submit an issue to any of the
+data providers whose home pages are
+[listed here](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts#sources-of-hosts-data-unified-in-this-variant).
+This is best because once you submit new domains, they will be curated and
+updated by the dedicated folks who maintain these sources.
+
+### Option 2: Fork this repository, add your domains to Steven Black's personal data file, and submit a pull request
+
+Fork this hosts this repo and add your links to
+[https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts).
+
+Then, submit a pull request.
+
+**WARNING**: this is less desirable than Option 1 because the ongoing curation
+falls on us. So this creates more work for us.
+
+### Option 3: create your own hosts list as a repo on GitHub
+
+If you're able to curate your own collection of sketchy domains, then curate
+your own hosts list. 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.
+
+## What is a hosts file?
+
+A hosts file, named `hosts` (with no file extension), is a plain-text file used
+by all operating systems to map hostnames to IP addresses.
+
+In most operating systems, the `hosts` file is preferential to `DNS`. Therefore
+if a domain name is resolved by the `hosts` file, the request never leaves your
+computer.
+
+Having a smart `hosts` file goes a long way towards blocking malware, adware,
+and other irritants.
+
+For example, to nullify requests to some doubleclick.net servers, adding these
+lines to your hosts file will do it:
+
+```text
+# block doubleClick's servers
+0.0.0.0 ad.ae.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.ar.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.at.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.au.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.be.doubleclick.net
+# etc...
+```
+
+## 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.
+
+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.
+
+- **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.
+
+## Gentoo
+
+Gentoo users may find
+[`sb-hosts`](https://github.com/PF4Public/gentoo-overlay/tree/master/net-misc/sb-hosts)
+in [::pf4public](https://github.com/PF4Public/gentoo-overlay) Gentoo overlay
+
+## NixOS
+
+To install hosts file on your machine add the following into your
+`configuration.nix`:
+
+```nix
+{
+  networking.extraHosts = let
+    hostsPath = https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/hosts;
+    hostsFile = builtins.fetchurl hostsPath;
+  in builtins.readFile "${hostsFile}";
+}
+```
+
+- NOTE: Change `hostsPath` if you need other versions of hosts file.
+- NOTE: The call to `fetchurl` is impure. Use `fetchFromGitHub` with the exact
+  commit if you want to always get the same result.
+
+### Nix Flake
+
+NixOS installations which are managed through _flakes_ can use the hosts file
+like this:
+
+```nix

+The hosts extensions are also available with the following options:
+
+```nix
+{
+  networking.stevenBlackHosts = {

+    blockPorn = true;
+    blockSocial = true;
+  };
+}
+```
+
+## Updating hosts file on Windows
+
+(NOTE: See also some third-party Hosts managers, listed below.)
+
+On Linux and macOS, run the Python script. On Windows more work is required due
+to compatibility issues so it's preferable to run the batch file as follows:
+
+```sh
+updateHostsWindows.bat
+```
+
+This file **MUST** be run in command prompt with administrator privileges in the
+repository directory. In addition to updating the hosts file, it can also
+replace the existing hosts file, and reload the DNS cache. It goes without
+saying that for this to work, you must be connected to the internet.
+
+To open a command prompt as administrator in the repository's directory, do the
+following:
+
+- **Windows XP**: Start → Run → `cmd`
+- **Windows Vista, 7**: Start Button → type `cmd` → right-click Command Prompt →
+  "Run as Administrator"
+- **Windows 8**: Start → Swipe Up → All Apps → Windows System → right-click
+  Command Prompt → "Run as Administrator"
+- **Windows 10**: Start Button → type `cmd` → right-click Command Prompt → "Run
+  as Administrator"
+
+You can also refer to the "Third-Party Hosts Managers" section for further
+recommended solutions from third parties.
+
+### Warning: Using this `hosts` file in Windows may require disabling DNS Cache service
+
+Windows has issues with larger hosts files. Recent changes in security within
+Windows 10 denies access to changing services via other tools except registry
+hacks. Use the `disable-dnscache-service-win.cmd` file to make proper changes to
+the Windows registry. You will need to reboot your device once that's done. See
+the
+[the comments within the `cmd` file](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/disable-dnscache-service-win.bat)
+for more details.
+
+## Reloading hosts file
+
+Your operating system will cache DNS lookups. You can either reboot or run the
+following commands to manually flush your DNS cache once the new hosts file is
+in place.
+
+The Google Chrome browser may require manually cleaning up its DNS Cache on
+`chrome://net-internals/#dns` page to thereafter see the changes in your hosts
+file. See: <https://superuser.com/questions/723703>
+
+### Windows
+
+Open a command prompt with administrator privileges and run this command:
+
+```bat
+ipconfig /flushdns
+```
+
+### Linux
+
+Open a Terminal and run with root privileges:
+
+- **Debian/Ubuntu** `sudo service network-manager restart`
+- **Linux Mint** `sudo /etc/init.d/dns-clean start`
+- **Linux with systemd**: `sudo systemctl restart network.service`
+- **Fedora Linux**: `sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager.service`
+- **Arch Linux/Manjaro with Network Manager**:
+  `sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager.service`
+- **Arch Linux/Manjaro with Wicd**: `sudo systemctl restart wicd.service`
+- **RHEL/Centos**: `sudo /etc/init.d/network restart`
+- **FreeBSD**: `sudo service nscd restart`
+
+  To enable the `nscd` daemon initially, it is recommended that you run the
+  following commands:
+
+  ```sh
+  sudo sysrc nscd_enable="YES"
+  sudo service nscd start
+  ```
+
+  Then modify the `hosts` line in your `/etc/nsswitch.conf` file to the
+  following:
+
+  ```text
+  hosts: cache files dns
+  ```
+
+- **NixOS**: The `nscd.service` is automatically restarted when the option
+  `networking.extraHosts` was changed.
+- **Others**: Consult
+  [this Wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_%28file%29#Location_in_the_file_system).
+
+### macOS
+
+As described in [this article](https://osxdaily.com/2022/11/21/how-clear-dns-cache-macos-ventura-monterey/),
+open a Terminal and run:
+
+```sh
+sudo dscacheutil -flushcache;sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
+```
+
+## Release management
+
+This repository uses [release-it](https://github.com/release-it/release-it), an
+excellent CLI release tool for GitHub repos and npm packages, to automate
+creating [releases](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/releases). This is why
+the
+[package.json](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/package.json)
+and
+[.release-it.json](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/.release-it.json)
+files are bundled.
+
+## Goals of this unified hosts file
+
+The goals of this repo are to:
+
+1. automatically combine high-quality lists of hosts,
+2. provide situation-appropriate extensions,
+3. de-dupe the resultant combined list,
+4. and keep the resultant file reasonably sized.
+
+A high-quality source is defined here as one that is actively curated. A hosts
+source should be frequently updated by its maintainers with both additions and
+removals. The larger the hosts file, the higher the level of curation is
+expected.
+
+It is expected that this unified hosts file will serve both desktop and mobile
+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 AutoUpdate package is purpose-built for this
+  unified hosts project as well as in active development by community members.
+  You can install and uninstall any blacklist and keep it automatically up to
+  date, and can be 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.
+- [ViHoMa](https://github.com/cmabad/ViHoMa) is a Visual Hosts file Manager,
+  written in Java, by Christian Martínez. Check it out!
+
+## Interesting Applications
+
+- [Hosts-BL](https://github.com/ScriptTiger/Hosts-BL "Hosts-BL") is a simple
+  tool to handle hosts file black lists. It can remove comments, remove
+  duplicates, compress to 9 domains per line, add IPv6 entries. In addition, it
+  can also convert black lists to multiple other black list formats compatible
+  with other software, such as dnsmasq, DualServer, RPZ, Privoxy, and Unbound,
+  to name a few.
+- [Host Minder](https://github.com/jeremehancock/hostminder#readme) is a simple
+  GUI that allows you to easily update your /etc/hosts file to one of four
+  consolidated hosts files from StevenBlack/hosts. It is provided as a deb
+  package and comes pre-installed on [UbuntuCE](https://ubuntuce.com/).
+- [Maza ad blocking](https://github.com/tanrax/maza-ad-blocking) is a bash
+  script that automatically updates host file. You can also update a fresh copy.
+  And each time it generates a dnsmasq-compatible configuration file. Fast
+  installation, compatible with MacOS, Linux and BSD.
+- [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.
+- [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.
+- [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.
+- [Blocking ads and malwares with unbound](https://deadc0de.re/articles/unbound-blocking-ads.html "Blocking ads and malwares with unbound")
+  –
+  [Unbound](https://www.unbound.net/ "Unbound is a validating, recursive, and caching DNS resolver.")
+  is a validating, recursive, and caching DNS resolver.
+- [dnsmasq conversion script](https://gist.github.com/erlepereira/c11f4f7a3f60cd2071e79018e895fc8a#file-dnsmasq-antimalware)
+  This GitHub gist has a short shell script (bash, will work on any 'nix) and
+  uses `wget` & `awk` present in most distros, to fetch a specified hosts file
+  and convert it to the format required by dnsmasq. Supports IPv4 and IPv6.
+  Designed to be used as either a shell script, or can be dropped into
+  `/etc/cron.weekly` (or wherever suits). The script is short and easily edited,
+  also has a short document attached with notes on dnsmasq setup.
+- [BlackHosts - Command Line Installer/Updater](https://github.com/Lateralus138/blackhosts)
+  This is a cross-platform command line utility to help install/update hosts
+  files found at this repository.

+# Limited to the extensions: gambling, porn, social
+
+This repository consolidates several reputable `hosts` files, and merges them
+into a unified hosts file with duplicates removed. A variety of tailored hosts
+files are provided.
+
+**Therefore this repository is a hosts file aggregator.**

+
+## Extensions
+
+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`.
+
+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 are stored in the
+[`extensions`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/extensions)
+folder. You manage extensions by curating this folder tree, where you will find
+the data for `fakenews`, `social`, `gambling`, and `porn` extension data that we
+maintain and provide for you.
+
+## Generate your own unified hosts file
+
+You have three options to generate your own hosts file. You can use our
+container image, build your own image, or do it in your own environment. Option
+#1 is easiest if you have Linux with Docker installed.
+
+### Option 1: Use our container image (Linux only)
+
+> This will replace your `/etc/hosts`.
+
+We assume you have Docker available on your host. Just run the following
+command. Set extensions to your preference.
+
+```sh
+docker run --pull always --rm -it -v /etc/hosts:/etc/hosts \
+ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest updateHostsFile.py --auto \
+--replace --extensions gambling porn
+```
+
+If you want to add custom hosts or a whitelist, create either or both files as
+per [the instructions](#how-do-i-control-which-sources-are-unified) and add the
+following arguments _before_ `ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest` depending on
+which you wish to use.
+
+```sh
+-v "path/to/myhosts:/hosts/myhosts" \
+-v "path/to/whitelist:/hosts/whitelist" \
+```
+
+You can rerun this exact command later to update based on the latest available
+hosts (for example, add it to a weekly cron job).
+
+### Option 2: Generate your own container image
+
+We provide the
+[Dockerfile](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/Dockerfile) used
+by the previous step, which you can use to create a container image with
+everything you need. The container will contain Python 3 and all its dependency
+requirements, and a copy of the latest version of this repository.
+
+Build the Docker container from the root of this repo like this:
+
+```sh
+docker build --no-cache . -t stevenblack-hosts
+```
+
+Then run your command as such:
+
+```sh
+docker run --rm -it stevenblack-hosts updateHostsFile.py
+```
+
+> This will create the hosts file, and remove it with the container when done,
+> so not very useful. You can use the example in option #1 to add volumes so
+> files on your host are replaced.
+
+### Option 3: Generate it in your own environment
+
+To generate your own amalgamated hosts files you will need Python 3.6 or later.
+
+First, install the dependencies with:
+
+```sh
+pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+**Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies
+at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip
+[documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
+
+### Common steps regardless of your development environment
+
+To **run unit tests**, in the top-level directory, run:
+
+```sh
+python3 testUpdateHostsFile.py
+```
+
+The `updateHostsFile.py` script will generate a unified hosts file based on the
+sources in the local `data/` subfolder. The script will prompt you whether it
+should fetch updated versions (from locations defined by the `update.json` text
+file in each source's folder). Otherwise, it will use the `hosts` file that's
+already there.
+
+```sh
+python3 updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--replace] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]
+```
+
+#### Command line options
+
+`--help`, or `-h`: display help.
+
+`--auto`, or `-a`: run the script without prompting. When `--auto` is invoked,
+
+- Hosts data sources, including extensions, are updated.
+- No extensions are included by default. Use the `--extensions` or `-e` flag to
+  include any you want.
+- Your active hosts file is _not_ replaced unless you include the `--replace`
+  flag.
+
+`--backup`, or `-b`: Make a backup of existing hosts file(s) as you generate
+over them.
+
+`--extensions <ext1> <ext2> <ext3>`, or `-e <ext1> <ext2> <ext3>`: the names of
+subfolders below the `extensions` folder containing additional category-specific
+hosts files to include in the amalgamation. Example: `--extensions porn` or
+`-e social porn`.
+
+`--flush-dns-cache`, or `-f`: skip the prompt for flushing the DNS cache. Only
+active when `--replace` is also active.
+
+`--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn`, or `-i nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn`: the IP address to use as the
+target. Default is `0.0.0.0`.
+
+`--keepdomaincomments`, or `-k`: `true` (default) or `false`, keep the comments
+that appear on the same line as domains. The default is `true`.
+
+`--noupdate`, or `-n`: skip fetching updates from hosts data sources.
+
+`--output <subfolder>`, or `-o <subfolder>`: place the generated source file in
+a subfolder. If the subfolder does not exist, it will be created.
+
+`--replace`, or `-r`: trigger replacing your active hosts
+
+`--skipstatichosts`, or `-s`: `false` (default) or `true`, omit the standard
+section at the top, containing lines like `127.0.0.1 localhost`. This is useful
+for configuring proximate DNS services on the local network.
+
+`--nogendata`, or `-g`: `false` (default) or `true`, skip the generation of the
+readmeData.json file used for generating readme.md files. This is useful if you
+are generating host files with additional whitelists or blacklists and want to
+keep your local checkout of this repo unmodified.
+
+`--nounifiedhosts`: `false` (default) or `true`, do not include the unified hosts
+file in the final hosts file. Usually used together with `--extensions`.
+
+`--compress`, or `-c`: `false` (default) or `true`, _Compress_ the hosts file
+ignoring non-necessary lines (empty lines and comments) and putting multiple
+domains in each line. Reducing the number of lines of the hosts file improves
+the performances under Windows (with DNS Client service enabled).
+
+`--minimise`, or `-m`: `false` (default) or `true`, like `--compress`, but puts
+each domain on a separate line. This is necessary because many implementations
+of URL blockers that rely on `hosts` files do not conform to the standard which
+allows multiple hosts on a single line.
+
+`--blacklist <blacklistfile>`, or `-x <blacklistfile>`: Append the given
+blacklist file in hosts format to the generated hosts file.
+
+`--whitelist <whitelistfile>`, or `-w <whitelistfile>`: Use the given whitelist
+file to remove hosts from the generated hosts file.
+
+## How do I control which sources are unified?
+
+Add one or more _additional_ sources, each in a subfolder of the `data/` folder,
+and specify the `url` key in its `update.json` file.
+
+Add one or more _optional_ extensions, which originate from subfolders of the
+`extensions/` folder. Again the url in `update.json` controls where this
+extension finds its updates.
+
+Create an _optional_ `blacklist` file. The contents of this file (containing a
+listing of additional domains in `hosts` file format) are appended to the
+unified hosts file during the update process. A sample `blacklist` is included,
+and may be modified as you need.
+
+- NOTE: The `blacklist` is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't be
+  overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
+
+### How do I include my own custom domain mappings?
+
+If you have custom hosts records, place them in file `myhosts`. The contents of
+this file are prepended to the unified hosts file during the update process.
+
+The `myhosts` file is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't be
+overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
+
+### How do I prevent domains from being included?
+
+The domains you list in the `whitelist` file are excluded from the final hosts
+file.
+
+The `whitelist` uses partial matching. Therefore if you whitelist
+`google-analytics.com`, that domain and all its subdomains won't be merged into
+the final hosts file.
+
+The `whitelist` is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't be
+overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
+
+## How can I contribute hosts records?
+
+If you discover sketchy domains you feel should be included here, here are some
+ways to contribute them.
+
+### Option 1: contact one of our hosts sources
+
+The best way to get new domains included is to submit an issue to any of the
+data providers whose home pages are
+[listed here](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts#sources-of-hosts-data-unified-in-this-variant).
+This is best because once you submit new domains, they will be curated and
+updated by the dedicated folks who maintain these sources.
+
+### Option 2: Fork this repository, add your domains to Steven Black's personal data file, and submit a pull request
+
+Fork this hosts this repo and add your links to
+[https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts).
+
+Then, submit a pull request.
+
+**WARNING**: this is less desirable than Option 1 because the ongoing curation
+falls on us. So this creates more work for us.
+
+### Option 3: create your own hosts list as a repo on GitHub
+
+If you're able to curate your own collection of sketchy domains, then curate
+your own hosts list. 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.
+
+## What is a hosts file?
+
+A hosts file, named `hosts` (with no file extension), is a plain-text file used
+by all operating systems to map hostnames to IP addresses.
+
+In most operating systems, the `hosts` file is preferential to `DNS`. Therefore
+if a domain name is resolved by the `hosts` file, the request never leaves your
+computer.
+
+Having a smart `hosts` file goes a long way towards blocking malware, adware,
+and other irritants.
+
+For example, to nullify requests to some doubleclick.net servers, adding these
+lines to your hosts file will do it:
+
+```text
+# block doubleClick's servers
+0.0.0.0 ad.ae.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.ar.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.at.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.au.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.be.doubleclick.net
+# etc...
+```
+
+## 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.
+
+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.
+
+- **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.
+
+## Gentoo
+
+Gentoo users may find
+[`sb-hosts`](https://github.com/PF4Public/gentoo-overlay/tree/master/net-misc/sb-hosts)
+in [::pf4public](https://github.com/PF4Public/gentoo-overlay) Gentoo overlay
+
+## NixOS
+
+To install hosts file on your machine add the following into your
+`configuration.nix`:
+
+```nix
+{
+  networking.extraHosts = let
+    hostsPath = https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/hosts;
+    hostsFile = builtins.fetchurl hostsPath;
+  in builtins.readFile "${hostsFile}";
+}
+```
+
+- NOTE: Change `hostsPath` if you need other versions of hosts file.
+- NOTE: The call to `fetchurl` is impure. Use `fetchFromGitHub` with the exact
+  commit if you want to always get the same result.
+
+### Nix Flake
+
+NixOS installations which are managed through _flakes_ can use the hosts file
+like this:
+
+```nix
+{
+  inputs.hosts.url = github:StevenBlack/hosts;
+  outputs = { self, nixpkgs, hosts }: {
+    nixosConfigurations.my-hostname = {
+      system = "<architecture>";
+      modules = [
+        hosts.nixosModule {
+          networking.stevenBlackHosts.enable = true;
+        }
+      ];
+    };
+  };
+}
+```
+
+The hosts extensions are also available with the following options:
+
+```nix
+{
+  networking.stevenBlackHosts = {
+    blockFakenews = true;
+    blockGambling = true;
+    blockPorn = true;
+    blockSocial = true;
+  };
+}
+```
+
+## Updating hosts file on Windows
+
+(NOTE: See also some third-party Hosts managers, listed below.)
+
+On Linux and macOS, run the Python script. On Windows more work is required due
+to compatibility issues so it's preferable to run the batch file as follows:
+
+```sh
+updateHostsWindows.bat
+```
+
+This file **MUST** be run in command prompt with administrator privileges in the
+repository directory. In addition to updating the hosts file, it can also
+replace the existing hosts file, and reload the DNS cache. It goes without
+saying that for this to work, you must be connected to the internet.
+
+To open a command prompt as administrator in the repository's directory, do the
+following:
+
+- **Windows XP**: Start → Run → `cmd`
+- **Windows Vista, 7**: Start Button → type `cmd` → right-click Command Prompt →
+  "Run as Administrator"
+- **Windows 8**: Start → Swipe Up → All Apps → Windows System → right-click
+  Command Prompt → "Run as Administrator"
+- **Windows 10**: Start Button → type `cmd` → right-click Command Prompt → "Run
+  as Administrator"
+
+You can also refer to the "Third-Party Hosts Managers" section for further
+recommended solutions from third parties.
+
+### Warning: Using this `hosts` file in Windows may require disabling DNS Cache service
+
+Windows has issues with larger hosts files. Recent changes in security within
+Windows 10 denies access to changing services via other tools except registry
+hacks. Use the `disable-dnscache-service-win.cmd` file to make proper changes to
+the Windows registry. You will need to reboot your device once that's done. See
+the
+[the comments within the `cmd` file](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/disable-dnscache-service-win.bat)
+for more details.
+
+## Reloading hosts file
+
+Your operating system will cache DNS lookups. You can either reboot or run the
+following commands to manually flush your DNS cache once the new hosts file is
+in place.
+
+The Google Chrome browser may require manually cleaning up its DNS Cache on
+`chrome://net-internals/#dns` page to thereafter see the changes in your hosts
+file. See: <https://superuser.com/questions/723703>
+
+### Windows
+
+Open a command prompt with administrator privileges and run this command:
+
+```bat
+ipconfig /flushdns
+```
+
+### Linux
+
+Open a Terminal and run with root privileges:
+
+- **Debian/Ubuntu** `sudo service network-manager restart`
+- **Linux Mint** `sudo /etc/init.d/dns-clean start`
+- **Linux with systemd**: `sudo systemctl restart network.service`
+- **Fedora Linux**: `sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager.service`
+- **Arch Linux/Manjaro with Network Manager**:
+  `sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager.service`
+- **Arch Linux/Manjaro with Wicd**: `sudo systemctl restart wicd.service`
+- **RHEL/Centos**: `sudo /etc/init.d/network restart`
+- **FreeBSD**: `sudo service nscd restart`
+
+  To enable the `nscd` daemon initially, it is recommended that you run the
+  following commands:
+
+  ```sh
+  sudo sysrc nscd_enable="YES"
+  sudo service nscd start
+  ```
+
+  Then modify the `hosts` line in your `/etc/nsswitch.conf` file to the
+  following:
+
+  ```text
+  hosts: cache files dns
+  ```
+
+- **NixOS**: The `nscd.service` is automatically restarted when the option
+  `networking.extraHosts` was changed.
+- **Others**: Consult
+  [this Wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_%28file%29#Location_in_the_file_system).
+
+### macOS
+
+As described in [this article](https://osxdaily.com/2022/11/21/how-clear-dns-cache-macos-ventura-monterey/),
+open a Terminal and run:
+
+```sh
+sudo dscacheutil -flushcache;sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
+```
+
+## Release management
+
+This repository uses [release-it](https://github.com/release-it/release-it), an
+excellent CLI release tool for GitHub repos and npm packages, to automate
+creating [releases](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/releases). This is why
+the
+[package.json](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/package.json)
+and
+[.release-it.json](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/.release-it.json)
+files are bundled.
+
+## Goals of this unified hosts file
+
+The goals of this repo are to:
+
+1. automatically combine high-quality lists of hosts,
+2. provide situation-appropriate extensions,
+3. de-dupe the resultant combined list,
+4. and keep the resultant file reasonably sized.
+
+A high-quality source is defined here as one that is actively curated. A hosts
+source should be frequently updated by its maintainers with both additions and
+removals. The larger the hosts file, the higher the level of curation is
+expected.
+
+It is expected that this unified hosts file will serve both desktop and mobile
+devices under a variety of operating systems.
+

+
+## Interesting Applications
+
+- [Hosts-BL](https://github.com/ScriptTiger/Hosts-BL "Hosts-BL") is a simple
+  tool to handle hosts file black lists. It can remove comments, remove
+  duplicates, compress to 9 domains per line, add IPv6 entries. In addition, it
+  can also convert black lists to multiple other black list formats compatible
+  with other software, such as dnsmasq, DualServer, RPZ, Privoxy, and Unbound,
+  to name a few.
+- [Host Minder](https://github.com/jeremehancock/hostminder#readme) is a simple
+  GUI that allows you to easily update your /etc/hosts file to one of four

+- [Maza ad blocking](https://github.com/tanrax/maza-ad-blocking) is a bash
+  script that automatically updates host file. You can also update a fresh copy.
+  And each time it generates a dnsmasq-compatible configuration file. Fast
+  installation, compatible with MacOS, Linux and BSD.
+- [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

+
+
+**Expectation**: These unified hosts files should serve all devices, regardless

+
+## Sources of hosts data unified in this variant
+
+Updated `hosts` files from the following locations are always unified and
+included:

+
+
+## Extensions
+
+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`.
+
+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 are stored in the
+[`extensions`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/extensions)
+folder. You manage extensions by curating this folder tree, where you will find
+the data for `fakenews`, `social`, `gambling`, and `porn` extension data that we
+maintain and provide for you.
+
+## Generate your own unified hosts file
+
+You have three options to generate your own hosts file. You can use our
+container image, build your own image, or do it in your own environment. Option
+#1 is easiest if you have Linux with Docker installed.
+
+### Option 1: Use our container image (Linux only)
+
+> This will replace your `/etc/hosts`.
+
+We assume you have Docker available on your host. Just run the following
+command. Set extensions to your preference.
+
+```sh
+docker run --pull always --rm -it -v /etc/hosts:/etc/hosts \
+ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest updateHostsFile.py --auto \
+--replace --extensions gambling porn
+```
+
+If you want to add custom hosts or a whitelist, create either or both files as
+per [the instructions](#how-do-i-control-which-sources-are-unified) and add the
+following arguments _before_ `ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest` depending on
+which you wish to use.
+
+```sh
+-v "path/to/myhosts:/hosts/myhosts" \
+-v "path/to/whitelist:/hosts/whitelist" \
+```
+
+You can rerun this exact command later to update based on the latest available
+hosts (for example, add it to a weekly cron job).
+
+### Option 2: Generate your own container image
+
+We provide the
+[Dockerfile](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/Dockerfile) used
+by the previous step, which you can use to create a container image with
+everything you need. The container will contain Python 3 and all its dependency
+requirements, and a copy of the latest version of this repository.
+
+Build the Docker container from the root of this repo like this:
+
+```sh
+docker build --no-cache . -t stevenblack-hosts
+```
+
+Then run your command as such:
+
+```sh
+docker run --rm -it stevenblack-hosts updateHostsFile.py
+```
+
+> This will create the hosts file, and remove it with the container when done,
+> so not very useful. You can use the example in option #1 to add volumes so
+> files on your host are replaced.
+
+### Option 3: Generate it in your own environment
+
+To generate your own amalgamated hosts files you will need Python 3.6 or later.
+
+First, install the dependencies with:
+
+```sh
+pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+**Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies
+at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip
+[documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
+
+### Common steps regardless of your development environment
+
+To **run unit tests**, in the top-level directory, run:
+
+```sh
+python3 testUpdateHostsFile.py
+```
+
+The `updateHostsFile.py` script will generate a unified hosts file based on the
+sources in the local `data/` subfolder. The script will prompt you whether it
+should fetch updated versions (from locations defined by the `update.json` text
+file in each source's folder). Otherwise, it will use the `hosts` file that's
+already there.
+
+```sh
+python3 updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--replace] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]
+```
+
+#### Command line options
+
+`--help`, or `-h`: display help.
+
+`--auto`, or `-a`: run the script without prompting. When `--auto` is invoked,
+
+- Hosts data sources, including extensions, are updated.
+- No extensions are included by default. Use the `--extensions` or `-e` flag to
+  include any you want.
+- Your active hosts file is _not_ replaced unless you include the `--replace`
+  flag.
+
+`--backup`, or `-b`: Make a backup of existing hosts file(s) as you generate
+over them.
+
+`--extensions <ext1> <ext2> <ext3>`, or `-e <ext1> <ext2> <ext3>`: the names of
+subfolders below the `extensions` folder containing additional category-specific
+hosts files to include in the amalgamation. Example: `--extensions porn` or
+`-e social porn`.
+
+`--flush-dns-cache`, or `-f`: skip the prompt for flushing the DNS cache. Only
+active when `--replace` is also active.
+
+`--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn`, or `-i nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn`: the IP address to use as the
+target. Default is `0.0.0.0`.
+
+`--keepdomaincomments`, or `-k`: `true` (default) or `false`, keep the comments
+that appear on the same line as domains. The default is `true`.
+
+`--noupdate`, or `-n`: skip fetching updates from hosts data sources.
+
+`--output <subfolder>`, or `-o <subfolder>`: place the generated source file in
+a subfolder. If the subfolder does not exist, it will be created.
+
+`--replace`, or `-r`: trigger replacing your active hosts
+
+`--skipstatichosts`, or `-s`: `false` (default) or `true`, omit the standard
+section at the top, containing lines like `127.0.0.1 localhost`. This is useful
+for configuring proximate DNS services on the local network.
+
+`--nogendata`, or `-g`: `false` (default) or `true`, skip the generation of the
+readmeData.json file used for generating readme.md files. This is useful if you
+are generating host files with additional whitelists or blacklists and want to
+keep your local checkout of this repo unmodified.
+
+`--nounifiedhosts`: `false` (default) or `true`, do not include the unified hosts
+file in the final hosts file. Usually used together with `--extensions`.
+
+`--compress`, or `-c`: `false` (default) or `true`, _Compress_ the hosts file
+ignoring non-necessary lines (empty lines and comments) and putting multiple
+domains in each line. Reducing the number of lines of the hosts file improves
+the performances under Windows (with DNS Client service enabled).
+
+`--minimise`, or `-m`: `false` (default) or `true`, like `--compress`, but puts
+each domain on a separate line. This is necessary because many implementations
+of URL blockers that rely on `hosts` files do not conform to the standard which
+allows multiple hosts on a single line.
+
+`--blacklist <blacklistfile>`, or `-x <blacklistfile>`: Append the given
+blacklist file in hosts format to the generated hosts file.
+
+`--whitelist <whitelistfile>`, or `-w <whitelistfile>`: Use the given whitelist
+file to remove hosts from the generated hosts file.
+
+## How do I control which sources are unified?
+
+Add one or more _additional_ sources, each in a subfolder of the `data/` folder,
+and specify the `url` key in its `update.json` file.
+
+Add one or more _optional_ extensions, which originate from subfolders of the
+`extensions/` folder. Again the url in `update.json` controls where this
+extension finds its updates.
+
+Create an _optional_ `blacklist` file. The contents of this file (containing a
+listing of additional domains in `hosts` file format) are appended to the
+unified hosts file during the update process. A sample `blacklist` is included,
+and may be modified as you need.
+
+- NOTE: The `blacklist` is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't be
+  overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
+
+### How do I include my own custom domain mappings?
+
+If you have custom hosts records, place them in file `myhosts`. The contents of
+this file are prepended to the unified hosts file during the update process.
+
+The `myhosts` file is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't be
+overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
+
+### How do I prevent domains from being included?
+
+The domains you list in the `whitelist` file are excluded from the final hosts
+file.
+
+The `whitelist` uses partial matching. Therefore if you whitelist
+`google-analytics.com`, that domain and all its subdomains won't be merged into
+the final hosts file.
+
+The `whitelist` is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't be
+overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
+
+## How can I contribute hosts records?
+
+If you discover sketchy domains you feel should be included here, here are some
+ways to contribute them.
+
+### Option 1: contact one of our hosts sources
+
+The best way to get new domains included is to submit an issue to any of the
+data providers whose home pages are
+[listed here](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts#sources-of-hosts-data-unified-in-this-variant).
+This is best because once you submit new domains, they will be curated and
+updated by the dedicated folks who maintain these sources.
+
+### Option 2: Fork this repository, add your domains to Steven Black's personal data file, and submit a pull request
+
+Fork this hosts this repo and add your links to
+[https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts).
+
+Then, submit a pull request.
+
+**WARNING**: this is less desirable than Option 1 because the ongoing curation
+falls on us. So this creates more work for us.
+
+### Option 3: create your own hosts list as a repo on GitHub
+
+If you're able to curate your own collection of sketchy domains, then curate
+your own hosts list. 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.
+
+## What is a hosts file?
+
+A hosts file, named `hosts` (with no file extension), is a plain-text file used
+by all operating systems to map hostnames to IP addresses.
+
+In most operating systems, the `hosts` file is preferential to `DNS`. Therefore
+if a domain name is resolved by the `hosts` file, the request never leaves your
+computer.
+
+Having a smart `hosts` file goes a long way towards blocking malware, adware,
+and other irritants.
+
+For example, to nullify requests to some doubleclick.net servers, adding these
+lines to your hosts file will do it:
+
+```text
+# block doubleClick's servers
+0.0.0.0 ad.ae.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.ar.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.at.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.au.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.be.doubleclick.net
+# etc...
+```
+
+## 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.
+
+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.
+
+- **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.
+
+## Gentoo
+
+Gentoo users may find
+[`sb-hosts`](https://github.com/PF4Public/gentoo-overlay/tree/master/net-misc/sb-hosts)
+in [::pf4public](https://github.com/PF4Public/gentoo-overlay) Gentoo overlay
+
+## NixOS
+
+To install hosts file on your machine add the following into your
+`configuration.nix`:
+
+```nix
+{
+  networking.extraHosts = let
+    hostsPath = https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/hosts;
+    hostsFile = builtins.fetchurl hostsPath;
+  in builtins.readFile "${hostsFile}";
+}
+```
+
+- NOTE: Change `hostsPath` if you need other versions of hosts file.
+- NOTE: The call to `fetchurl` is impure. Use `fetchFromGitHub` with the exact
+  commit if you want to always get the same result.
+
+### Nix Flake
+
+NixOS installations which are managed through _flakes_ can use the hosts file
+like this:
+
+```nix
+{
+  inputs.hosts.url = github:StevenBlack/hosts;
+  outputs = { self, nixpkgs, hosts }: {
+    nixosConfigurations.my-hostname = {
+      system = "<architecture>";
+      modules = [
+        hosts.nixosModule {
+          networking.stevenBlackHosts.enable = true;
+        }
+      ];
+    };
+  };
+}
+```
+
+The hosts extensions are also available with the following options:
+
+```nix
+{
+  networking.stevenBlackHosts = {
+    blockFakenews = true;
+    blockGambling = true;
+    blockPorn = true;
+    blockSocial = true;
+  };
+}
+```
+
+## Updating hosts file on Windows
+
+(NOTE: See also some third-party Hosts managers, listed below.)
+
+On Linux and macOS, run the Python script. On Windows more work is required due
+to compatibility issues so it's preferable to run the batch file as follows:
+
+```sh
+updateHostsWindows.bat
+```
+
+This file **MUST** be run in command prompt with administrator privileges in the
+repository directory. In addition to updating the hosts file, it can also
+replace the existing hosts file, and reload the DNS cache. It goes without
+saying that for this to work, you must be connected to the internet.
+
+To open a command prompt as administrator in the repository's directory, do the
+following:
+
+- **Windows XP**: Start → Run → `cmd`
+- **Windows Vista, 7**: Start Button → type `cmd` → right-click Command Prompt →
+  "Run as Administrator"
+- **Windows 8**: Start → Swipe Up → All Apps → Windows System → right-click
+  Command Prompt → "Run as Administrator"
+- **Windows 10**: Start Button → type `cmd` → right-click Command Prompt → "Run
+  as Administrator"
+
+You can also refer to the "Third-Party Hosts Managers" section for further
+recommended solutions from third parties.
+
+### Warning: Using this `hosts` file in Windows may require disabling DNS Cache service
+
+Windows has issues with larger hosts files. Recent changes in security within
+Windows 10 denies access to changing services via other tools except registry
+hacks. Use the `disable-dnscache-service-win.cmd` file to make proper changes to
+the Windows registry. You will need to reboot your device once that's done. See
+the
+[the comments within the `cmd` file](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/disable-dnscache-service-win.bat)
+for more details.
+
+## Reloading hosts file
+
+Your operating system will cache DNS lookups. You can either reboot or run the
+following commands to manually flush your DNS cache once the new hosts file is
+in place.
+
+The Google Chrome browser may require manually cleaning up its DNS Cache on
+`chrome://net-internals/#dns` page to thereafter see the changes in your hosts
+file. See: <https://superuser.com/questions/723703>
+
+### Windows
+
+Open a command prompt with administrator privileges and run this command:
+
+```bat
+ipconfig /flushdns
+```
+
+### Linux
+
+Open a Terminal and run with root privileges:
+
+- **Debian/Ubuntu** `sudo service network-manager restart`
+- **Linux Mint** `sudo /etc/init.d/dns-clean start`
+- **Linux with systemd**: `sudo systemctl restart network.service`
+- **Fedora Linux**: `sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager.service`
+- **Arch Linux/Manjaro with Network Manager**:
+  `sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager.service`
+- **Arch Linux/Manjaro with Wicd**: `sudo systemctl restart wicd.service`
+- **RHEL/Centos**: `sudo /etc/init.d/network restart`
+- **FreeBSD**: `sudo service nscd restart`
+
+  To enable the `nscd` daemon initially, it is recommended that you run the
+  following commands:
+
+  ```sh
+  sudo sysrc nscd_enable="YES"
+  sudo service nscd start
+  ```
+
+  Then modify the `hosts` line in your `/etc/nsswitch.conf` file to the
+  following:
+
+  ```text
+  hosts: cache files dns
+  ```
+
+- **NixOS**: The `nscd.service` is automatically restarted when the option
+  `networking.extraHosts` was changed.
+- **Others**: Consult
+  [this Wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_%28file%29#Location_in_the_file_system).
+
+### macOS
+
+As described in [this article](https://osxdaily.com/2022/11/21/how-clear-dns-cache-macos-ventura-monterey/),
+open a Terminal and run:

+## Release management
+
+This repository uses [release-it](https://github.com/release-it/release-it), an
+excellent CLI release tool for GitHub repos and npm packages, to automate
+creating [releases](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/releases). This is why
+the
+[package.json](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/package.json)
+and
+[.release-it.json](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/.release-it.json)
+files are bundled.
+
+## Goals of this unified hosts file
+
+The goals of this repo are to:
+
+1. automatically combine high-quality lists of hosts,
+2. provide situation-appropriate extensions,
+3. de-dupe the resultant combined list,
+4. and keep the resultant file reasonably sized.
+
+A high-quality source is defined here as one that is actively curated. A hosts
+source should be frequently updated by its maintainers with both additions and
+removals. The larger the hosts file, the higher the level of curation is
+expected.
+
+It is expected that this unified hosts file will serve both desktop and mobile
+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 AutoUpdate package is purpose-built for this
+  unified hosts project as well as in active development by community members.
+  You can install and uninstall any blacklist and keep it automatically up to
+  date, and can be 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.
+- [ViHoMa](https://github.com/cmabad/ViHoMa) is a Visual Hosts file Manager,
+  written in Java, by Christian Martínez. Check it out!
+
+## Interesting Applications
+
+- [Hosts-BL](https://github.com/ScriptTiger/Hosts-BL "Hosts-BL") is a simple
+  tool to handle hosts file black lists. It can remove comments, remove
+  duplicates, compress to 9 domains per line, add IPv6 entries. In addition, it
+  can also convert black lists to multiple other black list formats compatible
+  with other software, such as dnsmasq, DualServer, RPZ, Privoxy, and Unbound,
+  to name a few.
+- [Host Minder](https://github.com/jeremehancock/hostminder#readme) is a simple
+  GUI that allows you to easily update your /etc/hosts file to one of four
+  consolidated hosts files from StevenBlack/hosts. It is provided as a deb
+  package and comes pre-installed on [UbuntuCE](https://ubuntuce.com/).
+- [Maza ad blocking](https://github.com/tanrax/maza-ad-blocking) is a bash
+  script that automatically updates host file. You can also update a fresh copy.
+  And each time it generates a dnsmasq-compatible configuration file. Fast
+  installation, compatible with MacOS, Linux and BSD.
+- [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.
+- [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.
+- [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.
+- [Blocking ads and malwares with unbound](https://deadc0de.re/articles/unbound-blocking-ads.html "Blocking ads and malwares with unbound")
+  –
+  [Unbound](https://www.unbound.net/ "Unbound is a validating, recursive, and caching DNS resolver.")
+  is a validating, recursive, and caching DNS resolver.
+- [dnsmasq conversion script](https://gist.github.com/erlepereira/c11f4f7a3f60cd2071e79018e895fc8a#file-dnsmasq-antimalware)
+  This GitHub gist has a short shell script (bash, will work on any 'nix) and
+  uses `wget` & `awk` present in most distros, to fetch a specified hosts file
+  and convert it to the format required by dnsmasq. Supports IPv4 and IPv6.
+  Designed to be used as either a shell script, or can be dropped into
+  `/etc/cron.weekly` (or wherever suits). The script is short and easily edited,
+  also has a short document attached with notes on dnsmasq setup.
+- [BlackHosts - Command Line Installer/Updater](https://github.com/Lateralus138/blackhosts)
+  This is a cross-platform command line utility to help install/update hosts
+  files found at this repository.
+- [dnscrypt-proxy](https://github.com/DNSCrypt/dnscrypt-proxy/wiki/Combining-Blocklists)
+  provides a tool to build block lists from local and remote lists in common
+  formats.
+- [Control D](https://controld.com/free-dns)
+  offers a public anycast network hosted mirror of the Unified (Adware + Malware) blocklist:
+  - Legacy DNS: `76.76.2.35`, `76.76.10.35`, `2606:1a40::35`, `2606:1a40:1::35`
+  - DNS-over-HTTPS/TLS/DOQ: `https://freedns.controld.com/x-stevenblack`, `x-stevenblack.freedns.controld.com`

+# Limited to the extensions: porn
+
+This repository consolidates several reputable `hosts` files, and merges them
+into a unified hosts file with duplicates removed. A variety of tailored hosts
+files are provided.
+
+**Therefore this repository is a hosts file aggregator.**

+
+
+## Extensions
+
+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`.
+
+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 are stored in the
+[`extensions`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/extensions)
+folder. You manage extensions by curating this folder tree, where you will find
+the data for `fakenews`, `social`, `gambling`, and `porn` extension data that we
+maintain and provide for you.
+
+## Generate your own unified hosts file
+
+You have three options to generate your own hosts file. You can use our
+container image, build your own image, or do it in your own environment. Option
+#1 is easiest if you have Linux with Docker installed.
+
+### Option 1: Use our container image (Linux only)
+
+> This will replace your `/etc/hosts`.
+
+We assume you have Docker available on your host. Just run the following
+command. Set extensions to your preference.
+
+```sh
+docker run --pull always --rm -it -v /etc/hosts:/etc/hosts \
+ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest updateHostsFile.py --auto \
+--replace --extensions gambling porn
+```
+
+If you want to add custom hosts or a whitelist, create either or both files as
+per [the instructions](#how-do-i-control-which-sources-are-unified) and add the
+following arguments _before_ `ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest` depending on
+which you wish to use.
+
+```sh
+-v "path/to/myhosts:/hosts/myhosts" \
+-v "path/to/whitelist:/hosts/whitelist" \
+```
+
+You can rerun this exact command later to update based on the latest available
+hosts (for example, add it to a weekly cron job).
+
+### Option 2: Generate your own container image
+
+We provide the
+[Dockerfile](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/Dockerfile) used
+by the previous step, which you can use to create a container image with
+everything you need. The container will contain Python 3 and all its dependency
+requirements, and a copy of the latest version of this repository.
+
+Build the Docker container from the root of this repo like this:
+
+```sh
+docker build --no-cache . -t stevenblack-hosts
+```
+
+Then run your command as such:
+
+```sh
+docker run --rm -it stevenblack-hosts updateHostsFile.py
+```
+
+> This will create the hosts file, and remove it with the container when done,
+> so not very useful. You can use the example in option #1 to add volumes so
+> files on your host are replaced.
+
+### Option 3: Generate it in your own environment
+
+To generate your own amalgamated hosts files you will need Python 3.6 or later.
+
+First, install the dependencies with:
+
+```sh
+pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+**Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies
+at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip
+[documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
+
+### Common steps regardless of your development environment
+
+To **run unit tests**, in the top-level directory, run:
+
+```sh
+python3 testUpdateHostsFile.py
+```
+
+The `updateHostsFile.py` script will generate a unified hosts file based on the
+sources in the local `data/` subfolder. The script will prompt you whether it
+should fetch updated versions (from locations defined by the `update.json` text
+file in each source's folder). Otherwise, it will use the `hosts` file that's
+already there.
+
+```sh
+python3 updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--replace] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]
+```
+
+#### Command line options
+
+`--help`, or `-h`: display help.
+
+`--auto`, or `-a`: run the script without prompting. When `--auto` is invoked,
+
+- Hosts data sources, including extensions, are updated.
+- No extensions are included by default. Use the `--extensions` or `-e` flag to
+  include any you want.
+- Your active hosts file is _not_ replaced unless you include the `--replace`
+  flag.
+
+`--backup`, or `-b`: Make a backup of existing hosts file(s) as you generate
+over them.
+
+`--extensions <ext1> <ext2> <ext3>`, or `-e <ext1> <ext2> <ext3>`: the names of
+subfolders below the `extensions` folder containing additional category-specific
+hosts files to include in the amalgamation. Example: `--extensions porn` or
+`-e social porn`.
+
+`--flush-dns-cache`, or `-f`: skip the prompt for flushing the DNS cache. Only
+active when `--replace` is also active.
+
+`--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn`, or `-i nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn`: the IP address to use as the
+target. Default is `0.0.0.0`.
+
+`--keepdomaincomments`, or `-k`: `true` (default) or `false`, keep the comments
+that appear on the same line as domains. The default is `true`.
+
+`--noupdate`, or `-n`: skip fetching updates from hosts data sources.
+
+`--output <subfolder>`, or `-o <subfolder>`: place the generated source file in
+a subfolder. If the subfolder does not exist, it will be created.
+
+`--replace`, or `-r`: trigger replacing your active hosts
+
+`--skipstatichosts`, or `-s`: `false` (default) or `true`, omit the standard
+section at the top, containing lines like `127.0.0.1 localhost`. This is useful
+for configuring proximate DNS services on the local network.
+
+`--nogendata`, or `-g`: `false` (default) or `true`, skip the generation of the
+readmeData.json file used for generating readme.md files. This is useful if you
+are generating host files with additional whitelists or blacklists and want to
+keep your local checkout of this repo unmodified.
+
+`--nounifiedhosts`: `false` (default) or `true`, do not include the unified hosts
+file in the final hosts file. Usually used together with `--extensions`.
+
+`--compress`, or `-c`: `false` (default) or `true`, _Compress_ the hosts file
+ignoring non-necessary lines (empty lines and comments) and putting multiple
+domains in each line. Reducing the number of lines of the hosts file improves
+the performances under Windows (with DNS Client service enabled).
+
+`--minimise`, or `-m`: `false` (default) or `true`, like `--compress`, but puts
+each domain on a separate line. This is necessary because many implementations
+of URL blockers that rely on `hosts` files do not conform to the standard which
+allows multiple hosts on a single line.
+
+`--blacklist <blacklistfile>`, or `-x <blacklistfile>`: Append the given
+blacklist file in hosts format to the generated hosts file.
+
+`--whitelist <whitelistfile>`, or `-w <whitelistfile>`: Use the given whitelist
+file to remove hosts from the generated hosts file.
+
+## How do I control which sources are unified?
+
+Add one or more _additional_ sources, each in a subfolder of the `data/` folder,
+and specify the `url` key in its `update.json` file.
+
+Add one or more _optional_ extensions, which originate from subfolders of the
+`extensions/` folder. Again the url in `update.json` controls where this
+extension finds its updates.
+
+Create an _optional_ `blacklist` file. The contents of this file (containing a
+listing of additional domains in `hosts` file format) are appended to the
+unified hosts file during the update process. A sample `blacklist` is included,
+and may be modified as you need.
+
+- NOTE: The `blacklist` is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't be
+  overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
+
+### How do I include my own custom domain mappings?
+
+If you have custom hosts records, place them in file `myhosts`. The contents of
+this file are prepended to the unified hosts file during the update process.
+
+The `myhosts` file is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't be
+overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
+
+### How do I prevent domains from being included?
+
+The domains you list in the `whitelist` file are excluded from the final hosts
+file.
+
+The `whitelist` uses partial matching. Therefore if you whitelist
+`google-analytics.com`, that domain and all its subdomains won't be merged into
+the final hosts file.
+
+The `whitelist` is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't be
+overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
+
+## How can I contribute hosts records?
+
+If you discover sketchy domains you feel should be included here, here are some
+ways to contribute them.
+
+### Option 1: contact one of our hosts sources
+
+The best way to get new domains included is to submit an issue to any of the
+data providers whose home pages are
+[listed here](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts#sources-of-hosts-data-unified-in-this-variant).
+This is best because once you submit new domains, they will be curated and
+updated by the dedicated folks who maintain these sources.
+
+### Option 2: Fork this repository, add your domains to Steven Black's personal data file, and submit a pull request
+
+Fork this hosts this repo and add your links to
+[https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts).
+
+Then, submit a pull request.
+
+**WARNING**: this is less desirable than Option 1 because the ongoing curation
+falls on us. So this creates more work for us.
+
+### Option 3: create your own hosts list as a repo on GitHub
+
+If you're able to curate your own collection of sketchy domains, then curate
+your own hosts list. 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.
+
+## What is a hosts file?
+
+A hosts file, named `hosts` (with no file extension), is a plain-text file used
+by all operating systems to map hostnames to IP addresses.
+
+In most operating systems, the `hosts` file is preferential to `DNS`. Therefore
+if a domain name is resolved by the `hosts` file, the request never leaves your
+computer.
+
+Having a smart `hosts` file goes a long way towards blocking malware, adware,
+and other irritants.
+
+For example, to nullify requests to some doubleclick.net servers, adding these
+lines to your hosts file will do it:
+
+```text
+# block doubleClick's servers
+0.0.0.0 ad.ae.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.ar.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.at.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.au.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.be.doubleclick.net
+# etc...
+```
+
+## 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.
+
+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.
+
+- **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.
+
+## Gentoo
+
+Gentoo users may find
+[`sb-hosts`](https://github.com/PF4Public/gentoo-overlay/tree/master/net-misc/sb-hosts)
+in [::pf4public](https://github.com/PF4Public/gentoo-overlay) Gentoo overlay
+
+## NixOS
+
+To install hosts file on your machine add the following into your
+`configuration.nix`:
+
+```nix
+{
+  networking.extraHosts = let
+    hostsPath = https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/hosts;
+    hostsFile = builtins.fetchurl hostsPath;
+  in builtins.readFile "${hostsFile}";
+}
+```
+
+- NOTE: Change `hostsPath` if you need other versions of hosts file.
+- NOTE: The call to `fetchurl` is impure. Use `fetchFromGitHub` with the exact
+  commit if you want to always get the same result.
+
+### Nix Flake
+
+NixOS installations which are managed through _flakes_ can use the hosts file
+like this:
+
+```nix
+{
+  inputs.hosts.url = github:StevenBlack/hosts;
+  outputs = { self, nixpkgs, hosts }: {
+    nixosConfigurations.my-hostname = {
+      system = "<architecture>";
+      modules = [
+        hosts.nixosModule {
+          networking.stevenBlackHosts.enable = true;
+        }
+      ];
+    };
+  };
+}
+```
+
+The hosts extensions are also available with the following options:
+
+```nix
+{
+  networking.stevenBlackHosts = {
+    blockFakenews = true;
+    blockGambling = true;
+    blockPorn = true;
+    blockSocial = true;
+  };
+}
+```
+
+## Updating hosts file on Windows
+
+(NOTE: See also some third-party Hosts managers, listed below.)
+
+On Linux and macOS, run the Python script. On Windows more work is required due
+to compatibility issues so it's preferable to run the batch file as follows:
+
+```sh
+updateHostsWindows.bat
+```
+
+This file **MUST** be run in command prompt with administrator privileges in the
+repository directory. In addition to updating the hosts file, it can also
+replace the existing hosts file, and reload the DNS cache. It goes without
+saying that for this to work, you must be connected to the internet.
+
+To open a command prompt as administrator in the repository's directory, do the
+following:
+
+- **Windows XP**: Start → Run → `cmd`
+- **Windows Vista, 7**: Start Button → type `cmd` → right-click Command Prompt →
+  "Run as Administrator"
+- **Windows 8**: Start → Swipe Up → All Apps → Windows System → right-click
+  Command Prompt → "Run as Administrator"
+- **Windows 10**: Start Button → type `cmd` → right-click Command Prompt → "Run
+  as Administrator"
+
+You can also refer to the "Third-Party Hosts Managers" section for further
+recommended solutions from third parties.
+
+### Warning: Using this `hosts` file in Windows may require disabling DNS Cache service
+
+Windows has issues with larger hosts files. Recent changes in security within
+Windows 10 denies access to changing services via other tools except registry
+hacks. Use the `disable-dnscache-service-win.cmd` file to make proper changes to
+the Windows registry. You will need to reboot your device once that's done. See
+the
+[the comments within the `cmd` file](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/disable-dnscache-service-win.bat)
+for more details.
+
+## Reloading hosts file
+
+Your operating system will cache DNS lookups. You can either reboot or run the
+following commands to manually flush your DNS cache once the new hosts file is
+in place.
+
+The Google Chrome browser may require manually cleaning up its DNS Cache on
+`chrome://net-internals/#dns` page to thereafter see the changes in your hosts
+file. See: <https://superuser.com/questions/723703>
+
+### Windows
+
+Open a command prompt with administrator privileges and run this command:
+
+```bat
+ipconfig /flushdns
+```
+
+### Linux
+
+Open a Terminal and run with root privileges:
+
+- **Debian/Ubuntu** `sudo service network-manager restart`
+- **Linux Mint** `sudo /etc/init.d/dns-clean start`
+- **Linux with systemd**: `sudo systemctl restart network.service`
+- **Fedora Linux**: `sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager.service`
+- **Arch Linux/Manjaro with Network Manager**:
+  `sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager.service`
+- **Arch Linux/Manjaro with Wicd**: `sudo systemctl restart wicd.service`
+- **RHEL/Centos**: `sudo /etc/init.d/network restart`
+- **FreeBSD**: `sudo service nscd restart`
+
+  To enable the `nscd` daemon initially, it is recommended that you run the
+  following commands:
+
+  ```sh
+  sudo sysrc nscd_enable="YES"
+  sudo service nscd start
+  ```
+
+  Then modify the `hosts` line in your `/etc/nsswitch.conf` file to the
+  following:
+
+  ```text
+  hosts: cache files dns
+  ```
+
+- **NixOS**: The `nscd.service` is automatically restarted when the option
+  `networking.extraHosts` was changed.
+- **Others**: Consult
+  [this Wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_%28file%29#Location_in_the_file_system).
+
+### macOS
+
+As described in [this article](https://osxdaily.com/2022/11/21/how-clear-dns-cache-macos-ventura-monterey/),
+open a Terminal and run:
+
+```sh
+sudo dscacheutil -flushcache;sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
+```
+
+## Release management
+
+This repository uses [release-it](https://github.com/release-it/release-it), an
+excellent CLI release tool for GitHub repos and npm packages, to automate
+creating [releases](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/releases). This is why
+the
+[package.json](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/package.json)
+and
+[.release-it.json](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/.release-it.json)
+files are bundled.
+
+## Goals of this unified hosts file
+
+The goals of this repo are to:
+
+1. automatically combine high-quality lists of hosts,
+2. provide situation-appropriate extensions,
+3. de-dupe the resultant combined list,
+4. and keep the resultant file reasonably sized.
+
+A high-quality source is defined here as one that is actively curated. A hosts
+source should be frequently updated by its maintainers with both additions and
+removals. The larger the hosts file, the higher the level of curation is
+expected.
+
+It is expected that this unified hosts file will serve both desktop and mobile
+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 AutoUpdate package is purpose-built for this
+  unified hosts project as well as in active development by community members.
+  You can install and uninstall any blacklist and keep it automatically up to
+  date, and can be 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.
+- [ViHoMa](https://github.com/cmabad/ViHoMa) is a Visual Hosts file Manager,
+  written in Java, by Christian Martínez. Check it out!
+
+## Interesting Applications
+
+- [Hosts-BL](https://github.com/ScriptTiger/Hosts-BL "Hosts-BL") is a simple
+  tool to handle hosts file black lists. It can remove comments, remove
+  duplicates, compress to 9 domains per line, add IPv6 entries. In addition, it
+  can also convert black lists to multiple other black list formats compatible
+  with other software, such as dnsmasq, DualServer, RPZ, Privoxy, and Unbound,
+  to name a few.
+- [Host Minder](https://github.com/jeremehancock/hostminder#readme) is a simple
+  GUI that allows you to easily update your /etc/hosts file to one of four
+  consolidated hosts files from StevenBlack/hosts. It is provided as a deb
+  package and comes pre-installed on [UbuntuCE](https://ubuntuce.com/).
+- [Maza ad blocking](https://github.com/tanrax/maza-ad-blocking) is a bash
+  script that automatically updates host file. You can also update a fresh copy.
+  And each time it generates a dnsmasq-compatible configuration file. Fast
+  installation, compatible with MacOS, Linux and BSD.
+- [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.
+- [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.
+- [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.
+- [Blocking ads and malwares with unbound](https://deadc0de.re/articles/unbound-blocking-ads.html "Blocking ads and malwares with unbound")
+  –
+  [Unbound](https://www.unbound.net/ "Unbound is a validating, recursive, and caching DNS resolver.")
+  is a validating, recursive, and caching DNS resolver.
+- [dnsmasq conversion script](https://gist.github.com/erlepereira/c11f4f7a3f60cd2071e79018e895fc8a#file-dnsmasq-antimalware)
+  This GitHub gist has a short shell script (bash, will work on any 'nix) and
+  uses `wget` & `awk` present in most distros, to fetch a specified hosts file
+  and convert it to the format required by dnsmasq. Supports IPv4 and IPv6.
+  Designed to be used as either a shell script, or can be dropped into
+  `/etc/cron.weekly` (or wherever suits). The script is short and easily edited,
+  also has a short document attached with notes on dnsmasq setup.
+- [BlackHosts - Command Line Installer/Updater](https://github.com/Lateralus138/blackhosts)
+  This is a cross-platform command line utility to help install/update hosts
+  files found at this repository.

+# Limited to the extensions: porn, social
+
+This repository consolidates several reputable `hosts` files, and merges them
+into a unified hosts file with duplicates removed. A variety of tailored hosts
+files are provided.
+
+**Therefore this repository is a hosts file aggregator.**

+
+
+## Extensions
+
+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`.
+
+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 are stored in the
+[`extensions`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/extensions)
+folder. You manage extensions by curating this folder tree, where you will find
+the data for `fakenews`, `social`, `gambling`, and `porn` extension data that we
+maintain and provide for you.
+
+## Generate your own unified hosts file
+
+You have three options to generate your own hosts file. You can use our
+container image, build your own image, or do it in your own environment. Option
+#1 is easiest if you have Linux with Docker installed.
+
+### Option 1: Use our container image (Linux only)
+
+> This will replace your `/etc/hosts`.
+
+We assume you have Docker available on your host. Just run the following
+command. Set extensions to your preference.
+
+```sh
+docker run --pull always --rm -it -v /etc/hosts:/etc/hosts \
+ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest updateHostsFile.py --auto \
+--replace --extensions gambling porn
+```
+
+If you want to add custom hosts or a whitelist, create either or both files as
+per [the instructions](#how-do-i-control-which-sources-are-unified) and add the
+following arguments _before_ `ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest` depending on
+which you wish to use.
+
+```sh
+-v "path/to/myhosts:/hosts/myhosts" \
+-v "path/to/whitelist:/hosts/whitelist" \
+```
+
+You can rerun this exact command later to update based on the latest available
+hosts (for example, add it to a weekly cron job).
+
+### Option 2: Generate your own container image
+
+We provide the
+[Dockerfile](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/Dockerfile) used
+by the previous step, which you can use to create a container image with
+everything you need. The container will contain Python 3 and all its dependency
+requirements, and a copy of the latest version of this repository.
+
+Build the Docker container from the root of this repo like this:
+
+```sh
+docker build --no-cache . -t stevenblack-hosts
+```
+
+Then run your command as such:
+
+```sh
+docker run --rm -it stevenblack-hosts updateHostsFile.py
+```
+
+> This will create the hosts file, and remove it with the container when done,
+> so not very useful. You can use the example in option #1 to add volumes so
+> files on your host are replaced.
+
+### Option 3: Generate it in your own environment
+
+To generate your own amalgamated hosts files you will need Python 3.6 or later.
+
+First, install the dependencies with:
+
+```sh
+pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+**Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies
+at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip
+[documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
+
+### Common steps regardless of your development environment
+
+To **run unit tests**, in the top-level directory, run:
+
+```sh
+python3 testUpdateHostsFile.py
+```
+
+The `updateHostsFile.py` script will generate a unified hosts file based on the
+sources in the local `data/` subfolder. The script will prompt you whether it
+should fetch updated versions (from locations defined by the `update.json` text
+file in each source's folder). Otherwise, it will use the `hosts` file that's
+already there.
+
+```sh
+python3 updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--replace] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]
+```
+
+#### Command line options
+
+`--help`, or `-h`: display help.
+
+`--auto`, or `-a`: run the script without prompting. When `--auto` is invoked,
+
+- Hosts data sources, including extensions, are updated.
+- No extensions are included by default. Use the `--extensions` or `-e` flag to
+  include any you want.
+- Your active hosts file is _not_ replaced unless you include the `--replace`
+  flag.
+
+`--backup`, or `-b`: Make a backup of existing hosts file(s) as you generate
+over them.
+
+`--extensions <ext1> <ext2> <ext3>`, or `-e <ext1> <ext2> <ext3>`: the names of
+subfolders below the `extensions` folder containing additional category-specific
+hosts files to include in the amalgamation. Example: `--extensions porn` or
+`-e social porn`.
+
+`--flush-dns-cache`, or `-f`: skip the prompt for flushing the DNS cache. Only
+active when `--replace` is also active.
+
+`--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn`, or `-i nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn`: the IP address to use as the
+target. Default is `0.0.0.0`.
+
+`--keepdomaincomments`, or `-k`: `true` (default) or `false`, keep the comments
+that appear on the same line as domains. The default is `true`.
+
+`--noupdate`, or `-n`: skip fetching updates from hosts data sources.
+
+`--output <subfolder>`, or `-o <subfolder>`: place the generated source file in
+a subfolder. If the subfolder does not exist, it will be created.
+
+`--replace`, or `-r`: trigger replacing your active hosts
+
+`--skipstatichosts`, or `-s`: `false` (default) or `true`, omit the standard
+section at the top, containing lines like `127.0.0.1 localhost`. This is useful
+for configuring proximate DNS services on the local network.
+
+`--nogendata`, or `-g`: `false` (default) or `true`, skip the generation of the
+readmeData.json file used for generating readme.md files. This is useful if you
+are generating host files with additional whitelists or blacklists and want to
+keep your local checkout of this repo unmodified.
+
+`--nounifiedhosts`: `false` (default) or `true`, do not include the unified hosts
+file in the final hosts file. Usually used together with `--extensions`.
+
+`--compress`, or `-c`: `false` (default) or `true`, _Compress_ the hosts file
+ignoring non-necessary lines (empty lines and comments) and putting multiple
+domains in each line. Reducing the number of lines of the hosts file improves
+the performances under Windows (with DNS Client service enabled).
+
+`--minimise`, or `-m`: `false` (default) or `true`, like `--compress`, but puts
+each domain on a separate line. This is necessary because many implementations
+of URL blockers that rely on `hosts` files do not conform to the standard which
+allows multiple hosts on a single line.
+
+`--blacklist <blacklistfile>`, or `-x <blacklistfile>`: Append the given
+blacklist file in hosts format to the generated hosts file.
+
+`--whitelist <whitelistfile>`, or `-w <whitelistfile>`: Use the given whitelist
+file to remove hosts from the generated hosts file.
+
+## How do I control which sources are unified?
+
+Add one or more _additional_ sources, each in a subfolder of the `data/` folder,
+and specify the `url` key in its `update.json` file.
+
+Add one or more _optional_ extensions, which originate from subfolders of the
+`extensions/` folder. Again the url in `update.json` controls where this
+extension finds its updates.
+
+Create an _optional_ `blacklist` file. The contents of this file (containing a
+listing of additional domains in `hosts` file format) are appended to the
+unified hosts file during the update process. A sample `blacklist` is included,
+and may be modified as you need.
+
+- NOTE: The `blacklist` is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't be
+  overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
+
+### How do I include my own custom domain mappings?
+
+If you have custom hosts records, place them in file `myhosts`. The contents of
+this file are prepended to the unified hosts file during the update process.
+
+The `myhosts` file is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't be
+overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
+
+### How do I prevent domains from being included?
+
+The domains you list in the `whitelist` file are excluded from the final hosts
+file.
+
+The `whitelist` uses partial matching. Therefore if you whitelist
+`google-analytics.com`, that domain and all its subdomains won't be merged into
+the final hosts file.
+
+The `whitelist` is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't be
+overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
+
+## How can I contribute hosts records?
+
+If you discover sketchy domains you feel should be included here, here are some
+ways to contribute them.
+
+### Option 1: contact one of our hosts sources
+
+The best way to get new domains included is to submit an issue to any of the
+data providers whose home pages are
+[listed here](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts#sources-of-hosts-data-unified-in-this-variant).
+This is best because once you submit new domains, they will be curated and
+updated by the dedicated folks who maintain these sources.
+
+### Option 2: Fork this repository, add your domains to Steven Black's personal data file, and submit a pull request
+
+Fork this hosts this repo and add your links to
+[https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts).
+
+Then, submit a pull request.
+
+**WARNING**: this is less desirable than Option 1 because the ongoing curation
+falls on us. So this creates more work for us.
+
+### Option 3: create your own hosts list as a repo on GitHub
+
+If you're able to curate your own collection of sketchy domains, then curate
+your own hosts list. 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.
+
+## What is a hosts file?
+
+A hosts file, named `hosts` (with no file extension), is a plain-text file used
+by all operating systems to map hostnames to IP addresses.
+
+In most operating systems, the `hosts` file is preferential to `DNS`. Therefore
+if a domain name is resolved by the `hosts` file, the request never leaves your
+computer.
+
+Having a smart `hosts` file goes a long way towards blocking malware, adware,
+and other irritants.
+
+For example, to nullify requests to some doubleclick.net servers, adding these
+lines to your hosts file will do it:
+
+```text
+# block doubleClick's servers
+0.0.0.0 ad.ae.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.ar.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.at.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.au.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.be.doubleclick.net
+# etc...
+```
+
+## 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.
+
+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.
+
+- **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.
+
+## Gentoo
+
+Gentoo users may find
+[`sb-hosts`](https://github.com/PF4Public/gentoo-overlay/tree/master/net-misc/sb-hosts)
+in [::pf4public](https://github.com/PF4Public/gentoo-overlay) Gentoo overlay
+
+## NixOS
+
+To install hosts file on your machine add the following into your
+`configuration.nix`:
+
+```nix
+{
+  networking.extraHosts = let
+    hostsPath = https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/hosts;
+    hostsFile = builtins.fetchurl hostsPath;
+  in builtins.readFile "${hostsFile}";
+}
+```
+
+- NOTE: Change `hostsPath` if you need other versions of hosts file.
+- NOTE: The call to `fetchurl` is impure. Use `fetchFromGitHub` with the exact
+  commit if you want to always get the same result.
+
+### Nix Flake
+
+NixOS installations which are managed through _flakes_ can use the hosts file
+like this:
+
+```nix
+{
+  inputs.hosts.url = github:StevenBlack/hosts;
+  outputs = { self, nixpkgs, hosts }: {
+    nixosConfigurations.my-hostname = {
+      system = "<architecture>";
+      modules = [
+        hosts.nixosModule {
+          networking.stevenBlackHosts.enable = true;
+        }
+      ];
+    };
+  };
+}
+```
+
+The hosts extensions are also available with the following options:
+
+```nix
+{
+  networking.stevenBlackHosts = {
+    blockFakenews = true;
+    blockGambling = true;
+    blockPorn = true;
+    blockSocial = true;
+  };
+}
+```
+
+## Updating hosts file on Windows
+
+(NOTE: See also some third-party Hosts managers, listed below.)
+
+On Linux and macOS, run the Python script. On Windows more work is required due
+to compatibility issues so it's preferable to run the batch file as follows:
+
+```sh
+updateHostsWindows.bat
+```
+
+This file **MUST** be run in command prompt with administrator privileges in the
+repository directory. In addition to updating the hosts file, it can also
+replace the existing hosts file, and reload the DNS cache. It goes without
+saying that for this to work, you must be connected to the internet.
+
+To open a command prompt as administrator in the repository's directory, do the
+following:
+
+- **Windows XP**: Start → Run → `cmd`
+- **Windows Vista, 7**: Start Button → type `cmd` → right-click Command Prompt →
+  "Run as Administrator"
+- **Windows 8**: Start → Swipe Up → All Apps → Windows System → right-click
+  Command Prompt → "Run as Administrator"
+- **Windows 10**: Start Button → type `cmd` → right-click Command Prompt → "Run
+  as Administrator"
+
+You can also refer to the "Third-Party Hosts Managers" section for further
+recommended solutions from third parties.
+
+### Warning: Using this `hosts` file in Windows may require disabling DNS Cache service
+
+Windows has issues with larger hosts files. Recent changes in security within
+Windows 10 denies access to changing services via other tools except registry
+hacks. Use the `disable-dnscache-service-win.cmd` file to make proper changes to
+the Windows registry. You will need to reboot your device once that's done. See
+the
+[the comments within the `cmd` file](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/disable-dnscache-service-win.bat)
+for more details.
+
+## Reloading hosts file
+
+Your operating system will cache DNS lookups. You can either reboot or run the
+following commands to manually flush your DNS cache once the new hosts file is
+in place.
+
+The Google Chrome browser may require manually cleaning up its DNS Cache on
+`chrome://net-internals/#dns` page to thereafter see the changes in your hosts
+file. See: <https://superuser.com/questions/723703>
+
+### Windows
+
+Open a command prompt with administrator privileges and run this command:
+
+```bat
+ipconfig /flushdns
+```
+
+### Linux
+
+Open a Terminal and run with root privileges:
+
+- **Debian/Ubuntu** `sudo service network-manager restart`
+- **Linux Mint** `sudo /etc/init.d/dns-clean start`
+- **Linux with systemd**: `sudo systemctl restart network.service`
+- **Fedora Linux**: `sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager.service`
+- **Arch Linux/Manjaro with Network Manager**:
+  `sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager.service`
+- **Arch Linux/Manjaro with Wicd**: `sudo systemctl restart wicd.service`
+- **RHEL/Centos**: `sudo /etc/init.d/network restart`
+- **FreeBSD**: `sudo service nscd restart`
+
+  To enable the `nscd` daemon initially, it is recommended that you run the
+  following commands:
+
+  ```sh
+  sudo sysrc nscd_enable="YES"
+  sudo service nscd start
+  ```
+
+  Then modify the `hosts` line in your `/etc/nsswitch.conf` file to the
+  following:
+
+  ```text
+  hosts: cache files dns
+  ```
+
+- **NixOS**: The `nscd.service` is automatically restarted when the option
+  `networking.extraHosts` was changed.
+- **Others**: Consult
+  [this Wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_%28file%29#Location_in_the_file_system).
+
+### macOS
+
+As described in [this article](https://osxdaily.com/2022/11/21/how-clear-dns-cache-macos-ventura-monterey/),
+open a Terminal and run:
+
+```sh
+sudo dscacheutil -flushcache;sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
+```
+
+## Release management
+
+This repository uses [release-it](https://github.com/release-it/release-it), an
+excellent CLI release tool for GitHub repos and npm packages, to automate
+creating [releases](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/releases). This is why
+the
+[package.json](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/package.json)
+and
+[.release-it.json](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/.release-it.json)
+files are bundled.
+
+## Goals of this unified hosts file
+
+The goals of this repo are to:
+
+1. automatically combine high-quality lists of hosts,
+2. provide situation-appropriate extensions,
+3. de-dupe the resultant combined list,
+4. and keep the resultant file reasonably sized.
+
+A high-quality source is defined here as one that is actively curated. A hosts
+source should be frequently updated by its maintainers with both additions and
+removals. The larger the hosts file, the higher the level of curation is
+expected.
+
+It is expected that this unified hosts file will serve both desktop and mobile
+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 AutoUpdate package is purpose-built for this
+  unified hosts project as well as in active development by community members.
+  You can install and uninstall any blacklist and keep it automatically up to
+  date, and can be 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.
+- [ViHoMa](https://github.com/cmabad/ViHoMa) is a Visual Hosts file Manager,
+  written in Java, by Christian Martínez. Check it out!
+
+## Interesting Applications
+
+- [Hosts-BL](https://github.com/ScriptTiger/Hosts-BL "Hosts-BL") is a simple
+  tool to handle hosts file black lists. It can remove comments, remove
+  duplicates, compress to 9 domains per line, add IPv6 entries. In addition, it
+  can also convert black lists to multiple other black list formats compatible
+  with other software, such as dnsmasq, DualServer, RPZ, Privoxy, and Unbound,
+  to name a few.
+- [Host Minder](https://github.com/jeremehancock/hostminder#readme) is a simple
+  GUI that allows you to easily update your /etc/hosts file to one of four
+  consolidated hosts files from StevenBlack/hosts. It is provided as a deb
+  package and comes pre-installed on [UbuntuCE](https://ubuntuce.com/).
+- [Maza ad blocking](https://github.com/tanrax/maza-ad-blocking) is a bash
+  script that automatically updates host file. You can also update a fresh copy.
+  And each time it generates a dnsmasq-compatible configuration file. Fast
+  installation, compatible with MacOS, Linux and BSD.
+- [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)

+
+
+**Expectation**: These unified hosts files should serve all devices, regardless
+of OS.
+
+## Sources of hosts data unified in this variant
+
+Updated `hosts` files from the following locations are always unified and
+included:
+
+| Host file source | Home page | Raw hosts | License | Issues | Description |
+| ---------------- | :-------: | :-------: | :-----: | :----: | ----------- |
+Sinfonietta's social media blocking hosts file |[link](https://github.com/Sinfonietta/hostfiles) | [raw](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Sinfonietta/hostfiles/master/social-hosts) | MIT | [issues](https://github.com/Sinfonietta/hostfiles/issues)| A collection of category-specific host files.
+Tiuxo hostlist - social |[link](https://github.com/tiuxo/hosts) | [raw](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tiuxo/hosts/master/social) | CC BY 4.0 | [issues](https://github.com/tiuxo/hosts/issues)| Categorized hosts files for DNS based content blocking
+
+
+## Extensions
+
+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`.
+
+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 are stored in the
+[`extensions`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/extensions)
+folder. You manage extensions by curating this folder tree, where you will find
+the data for `fakenews`, `social`, `gambling`, and `porn` extension data that we
+maintain and provide for you.
+
+## Generate your own unified hosts file
+
+You have three options to generate your own hosts file. You can use our
+container image, build your own image, or do it in your own environment. Option
+#1 is easiest if you have Linux with Docker installed.
+
+### Option 1: Use our container image (Linux only)
+
+> This will replace your `/etc/hosts`.
+
+We assume you have Docker available on your host. Just run the following
+command. Set extensions to your preference.
+
+```sh
+docker run --pull always --rm -it -v /etc/hosts:/etc/hosts \
+ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest updateHostsFile.py --auto \
+--replace --extensions gambling porn
+```
+
+If you want to add custom hosts or a whitelist, create either or both files as
+per [the instructions](#how-do-i-control-which-sources-are-unified) and add the
+following arguments _before_ `ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest` depending on
+which you wish to use.
+
+```sh
+-v "path/to/myhosts:/hosts/myhosts" \
+-v "path/to/whitelist:/hosts/whitelist" \
+```
+
+You can rerun this exact command later to update based on the latest available
+hosts (for example, add it to a weekly cron job).
+
+### Option 2: Generate your own container image
+
+We provide the
+[Dockerfile](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/Dockerfile) used
+by the previous step, which you can use to create a container image with
+everything you need. The container will contain Python 3 and all its dependency
+requirements, and a copy of the latest version of this repository.
+
+Build the Docker container from the root of this repo like this:
+
+```sh
+docker build --no-cache . -t stevenblack-hosts
+```
+
+Then run your command as such:
+
+```sh
+docker run --rm -it stevenblack-hosts updateHostsFile.py
+```
+
+> This will create the hosts file, and remove it with the container when done,
+> so not very useful. You can use the example in option #1 to add volumes so
+> files on your host are replaced.
+
+### Option 3: Generate it in your own environment
+
+To generate your own amalgamated hosts files you will need Python 3.6 or later.
+
+First, install the dependencies with:
+
+```sh
+pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+**Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies
+at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip
+[documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
+
+### Common steps regardless of your development environment
+
+To **run unit tests**, in the top-level directory, run:
+
+```sh
+python3 testUpdateHostsFile.py
+```
+
+The `updateHostsFile.py` script will generate a unified hosts file based on the
+sources in the local `data/` subfolder. The script will prompt you whether it
+should fetch updated versions (from locations defined by the `update.json` text
+file in each source's folder). Otherwise, it will use the `hosts` file that's
+already there.
+
+```sh
+python3 updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--replace] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]
+```
+
+#### Command line options
+
+`--help`, or `-h`: display help.
+
+`--auto`, or `-a`: run the script without prompting. When `--auto` is invoked,
+
+- Hosts data sources, including extensions, are updated.
+- No extensions are included by default. Use the `--extensions` or `-e` flag to
+  include any you want.
+- Your active hosts file is _not_ replaced unless you include the `--replace`
+  flag.
+
+`--backup`, or `-b`: Make a backup of existing hosts file(s) as you generate
+over them.
+
+`--extensions <ext1> <ext2> <ext3>`, or `-e <ext1> <ext2> <ext3>`: the names of
+subfolders below the `extensions` folder containing additional category-specific
+hosts files to include in the amalgamation. Example: `--extensions porn` or
+`-e social porn`.
+
+`--flush-dns-cache`, or `-f`: skip the prompt for flushing the DNS cache. Only
+active when `--replace` is also active.
+
+`--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn`, or `-i nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn`: the IP address to use as the
+target. Default is `0.0.0.0`.
+
+`--keepdomaincomments`, or `-k`: `true` (default) or `false`, keep the comments
+that appear on the same line as domains. The default is `true`.
+
+`--noupdate`, or `-n`: skip fetching updates from hosts data sources.
+
+`--output <subfolder>`, or `-o <subfolder>`: place the generated source file in
+a subfolder. If the subfolder does not exist, it will be created.
+
+`--replace`, or `-r`: trigger replacing your active hosts
+
+`--skipstatichosts`, or `-s`: `false` (default) or `true`, omit the standard
+section at the top, containing lines like `127.0.0.1 localhost`. This is useful
+for configuring proximate DNS services on the local network.
+
+`--nogendata`, or `-g`: `false` (default) or `true`, skip the generation of the
+readmeData.json file used for generating readme.md files. This is useful if you
+are generating host files with additional whitelists or blacklists and want to
+keep your local checkout of this repo unmodified.
+
+`--nounifiedhosts`: `false` (default) or `true`, do not include the unified hosts
+file in the final hosts file. Usually used together with `--extensions`.
+
+`--compress`, or `-c`: `false` (default) or `true`, _Compress_ the hosts file
+ignoring non-necessary lines (empty lines and comments) and putting multiple
+domains in each line. Reducing the number of lines of the hosts file improves
+the performances under Windows (with DNS Client service enabled).
+
+`--minimise`, or `-m`: `false` (default) or `true`, like `--compress`, but puts
+each domain on a separate line. This is necessary because many implementations
+of URL blockers that rely on `hosts` files do not conform to the standard which
+allows multiple hosts on a single line.
+
+`--blacklist <blacklistfile>`, or `-x <blacklistfile>`: Append the given
+blacklist file in hosts format to the generated hosts file.
+
+`--whitelist <whitelistfile>`, or `-w <whitelistfile>`: Use the given whitelist
+file to remove hosts from the generated hosts file.
+
+## How do I control which sources are unified?
+
+Add one or more _additional_ sources, each in a subfolder of the `data/` folder,
+and specify the `url` key in its `update.json` file.
+
+Add one or more _optional_ extensions, which originate from subfolders of the
+`extensions/` folder. Again the url in `update.json` controls where this
+extension finds its updates.
+
+Create an _optional_ `blacklist` file. The contents of this file (containing a
+listing of additional domains in `hosts` file format) are appended to the
+unified hosts file during the update process. A sample `blacklist` is included,
+and may be modified as you need.
+
+- NOTE: The `blacklist` is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't be
+  overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
+
+### How do I include my own custom domain mappings?
+
+If you have custom hosts records, place them in file `myhosts`. The contents of
+this file are prepended to the unified hosts file during the update process.
+
+The `myhosts` file is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't be
+overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
+
+### How do I prevent domains from being included?
+
+The domains you list in the `whitelist` file are excluded from the final hosts
+file.
+
+The `whitelist` uses partial matching. Therefore if you whitelist
+`google-analytics.com`, that domain and all its subdomains won't be merged into
+the final hosts file.
+
+The `whitelist` is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't be
+overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
+
+## How can I contribute hosts records?
+
+If you discover sketchy domains you feel should be included here, here are some
+ways to contribute them.
+
+### Option 1: contact one of our hosts sources
+
+The best way to get new domains included is to submit an issue to any of the
+data providers whose home pages are
+[listed here](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts#sources-of-hosts-data-unified-in-this-variant).
+This is best because once you submit new domains, they will be curated and
+updated by the dedicated folks who maintain these sources.
+
+### Option 2: Fork this repository, add your domains to Steven Black's personal data file, and submit a pull request
+
+Fork this hosts this repo and add your links to
+[https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts).
+
+Then, submit a pull request.
+
+**WARNING**: this is less desirable than Option 1 because the ongoing curation
+falls on us. So this creates more work for us.
+
+### Option 3: create your own hosts list as a repo on GitHub
+
+If you're able to curate your own collection of sketchy domains, then curate
+your own hosts list. 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.
+
+## What is a hosts file?
+
+A hosts file, named `hosts` (with no file extension), is a plain-text file used
+by all operating systems to map hostnames to IP addresses.
+
+In most operating systems, the `hosts` file is preferential to `DNS`. Therefore
+if a domain name is resolved by the `hosts` file, the request never leaves your
+computer.
+
+Having a smart `hosts` file goes a long way towards blocking malware, adware,
+and other irritants.
+
+For example, to nullify requests to some doubleclick.net servers, adding these
+lines to your hosts file will do it:
+
+```text
+# block doubleClick's servers
+0.0.0.0 ad.ae.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.ar.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.at.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.au.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.be.doubleclick.net
+# etc...
+```
+
+## 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.
+
+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.
+
+- **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.
+
+## Gentoo
+
+Gentoo users may find
+[`sb-hosts`](https://github.com/PF4Public/gentoo-overlay/tree/master/net-misc/sb-hosts)
+in [::pf4public](https://github.com/PF4Public/gentoo-overlay) Gentoo overlay
+
+## NixOS
+
+To install hosts file on your machine add the following into your
+`configuration.nix`:
+
+```nix
+{
+  networking.extraHosts = let
+    hostsPath = https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/hosts;
+    hostsFile = builtins.fetchurl hostsPath;
+  in builtins.readFile "${hostsFile}";
+}
+```
+
+- NOTE: Change `hostsPath` if you need other versions of hosts file.
+- NOTE: The call to `fetchurl` is impure. Use `fetchFromGitHub` with the exact
+  commit if you want to always get the same result.
+
+### Nix Flake
+
+NixOS installations which are managed through _flakes_ can use the hosts file
+like this:
+
+```nix
+{
+  inputs.hosts.url = github:StevenBlack/hosts;
+  outputs = { self, nixpkgs, hosts }: {
+    nixosConfigurations.my-hostname = {
+      system = "<architecture>";
+      modules = [
+        hosts.nixosModule {
+          networking.stevenBlackHosts.enable = true;
+        }
+      ];
+    };
+  };
+}
+```
+
+The hosts extensions are also available with the following options:
+
+```nix
+{
+  networking.stevenBlackHosts = {
+    blockFakenews = true;
+    blockGambling = true;
+    blockPorn = true;
+    blockSocial = true;
+  };
+}
+```
+
+## Updating hosts file on Windows
+
+(NOTE: See also some third-party Hosts managers, listed below.)
+
+On Linux and macOS, run the Python script. On Windows more work is required due
+to compatibility issues so it's preferable to run the batch file as follows:
+
+```sh
+updateHostsWindows.bat
+```
+
+This file **MUST** be run in command prompt with administrator privileges in the
+repository directory. In addition to updating the hosts file, it can also
+replace the existing hosts file, and reload the DNS cache. It goes without
+saying that for this to work, you must be connected to the internet.
+
+To open a command prompt as administrator in the repository's directory, do the
+following:
+
+- **Windows XP**: Start → Run → `cmd`
+- **Windows Vista, 7**: Start Button → type `cmd` → right-click Command Prompt →
+  "Run as Administrator"
+- **Windows 8**: Start → Swipe Up → All Apps → Windows System → right-click
+  Command Prompt → "Run as Administrator"
+- **Windows 10**: Start Button → type `cmd` → right-click Command Prompt → "Run
+  as Administrator"
+
+You can also refer to the "Third-Party Hosts Managers" section for further
+recommended solutions from third parties.
+
+### Warning: Using this `hosts` file in Windows may require disabling DNS Cache service
+
+Windows has issues with larger hosts files. Recent changes in security within
+Windows 10 denies access to changing services via other tools except registry
+hacks. Use the `disable-dnscache-service-win.cmd` file to make proper changes to
+the Windows registry. You will need to reboot your device once that's done. See
+the
+[the comments within the `cmd` file](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/disable-dnscache-service-win.bat)
+for more details.
+
+## Reloading hosts file
+
+Your operating system will cache DNS lookups. You can either reboot or run the
+following commands to manually flush your DNS cache once the new hosts file is
+in place.
+
+The Google Chrome browser may require manually cleaning up its DNS Cache on
+`chrome://net-internals/#dns` page to thereafter see the changes in your hosts
+file. See: <https://superuser.com/questions/723703>
+
+### Windows
+
+Open a command prompt with administrator privileges and run this command:
+
+```bat
+ipconfig /flushdns
+```
+
+### Linux
+
+Open a Terminal and run with root privileges:
+
+- **Debian/Ubuntu** `sudo service network-manager restart`
+- **Linux Mint** `sudo /etc/init.d/dns-clean start`
+- **Linux with systemd**: `sudo systemctl restart network.service`
+- **Fedora Linux**: `sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager.service`
+- **Arch Linux/Manjaro with Network Manager**:
+  `sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager.service`
+- **Arch Linux/Manjaro with Wicd**: `sudo systemctl restart wicd.service`
+- **RHEL/Centos**: `sudo /etc/init.d/network restart`
+- **FreeBSD**: `sudo service nscd restart`
+
+  To enable the `nscd` daemon initially, it is recommended that you run the
+  following commands:
+
+  ```sh
+  sudo sysrc nscd_enable="YES"
+  sudo service nscd start
+  ```
+
+  Then modify the `hosts` line in your `/etc/nsswitch.conf` file to the
+  following:
+
+  ```text
+  hosts: cache files dns
+  ```
+

+
+## Release management
+
+This repository uses [release-it](https://github.com/release-it/release-it), an
+excellent CLI release tool for GitHub repos and npm packages, to automate
+creating [releases](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/releases). This is why
+the
+[package.json](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/package.json)
+and
+[.release-it.json](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/.release-it.json)
+files are bundled.
+
+## Goals of this unified hosts file
+
+The goals of this repo are to:
+
+1. automatically combine high-quality lists of hosts,
+2. provide situation-appropriate extensions,
+3. de-dupe the resultant combined list,
+4. and keep the resultant file reasonably sized.
+
+A high-quality source is defined here as one that is actively curated. A hosts
+source should be frequently updated by its maintainers with both additions and
+removals. The larger the hosts file, the higher the level of curation is
+expected.
+
+It is expected that this unified hosts file will serve both desktop and mobile
+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 AutoUpdate package is purpose-built for this
+  unified hosts project as well as in active development by community members.
+  You can install and uninstall any blacklist and keep it automatically up to
+  date, and can be 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.
+- [ViHoMa](https://github.com/cmabad/ViHoMa) is a Visual Hosts file Manager,
+  written in Java, by Christian Martínez. Check it out!
+
+## Interesting Applications
+
+- [Hosts-BL](https://github.com/ScriptTiger/Hosts-BL "Hosts-BL") is a simple
+  tool to handle hosts file black lists. It can remove comments, remove
+  duplicates, compress to 9 domains per line, add IPv6 entries. In addition, it
+  can also convert black lists to multiple other black list formats compatible
+  with other software, such as dnsmasq, DualServer, RPZ, Privoxy, and Unbound,
+  to name a few.
+- [Host Minder](https://github.com/jeremehancock/hostminder#readme) is a simple
+  GUI that allows you to easily update your /etc/hosts file to one of four
+  consolidated hosts files from StevenBlack/hosts. It is provided as a deb
+  package and comes pre-installed on [UbuntuCE](https://ubuntuce.com/).
+- [Maza ad blocking](https://github.com/tanrax/maza-ad-blocking) is a bash
+  script that automatically updates host file. You can also update a fresh copy.
+  And each time it generates a dnsmasq-compatible configuration file. Fast
+  installation, compatible with MacOS, Linux and BSD.
+- [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.
+- [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.
+- [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.
+- [Blocking ads and malwares with unbound](https://deadc0de.re/articles/unbound-blocking-ads.html "Blocking ads and malwares with unbound")
+  –
+  [Unbound](https://www.unbound.net/ "Unbound is a validating, recursive, and caching DNS resolver.")
+  is a validating, recursive, and caching DNS resolver.
+- [dnsmasq conversion script](https://gist.github.com/erlepereira/c11f4f7a3f60cd2071e79018e895fc8a#file-dnsmasq-antimalware)
+  This GitHub gist has a short shell script (bash, will work on any 'nix) and
+  uses `wget` & `awk` present in most distros, to fetch a specified hosts file
+  and convert it to the format required by dnsmasq. Supports IPv4 and IPv6.
+  Designed to be used as either a shell script, or can be dropped into
+  `/etc/cron.weekly` (or wherever suits). The script is short and easily edited,
+  also has a short document attached with notes on dnsmasq setup.
+- [BlackHosts - Command Line Installer/Updater](https://github.com/Lateralus138/blackhosts)
+  This is a cross-platform command line utility to help install/update hosts
+  files found at this repository.
+- [dnscrypt-proxy](https://github.com/DNSCrypt/dnscrypt-proxy/wiki/Combining-Blocklists)
+  provides a tool to build block lists from local and remote lists in common
+  formats.
+- [Control D](https://controld.com/free-dns)
+  offers a public anycast network hosted mirror of the Unified (Adware + Malware) blocklist:
+  - Legacy DNS: `76.76.2.35`, `76.76.10.35`, `2606:1a40::35`, `2606:1a40:1::35`
+  - DNS-over-HTTPS/TLS/DOQ: `https://freedns.controld.com/x-stevenblack`, `x-stevenblack.freedns.controld.com`
