hello,
I think the following should be considered for a new version of the app:
option to:
1) backup hosts file (like hostsman app for windows does)
2) update our hosts file every week automatically
3) export hosts sources
4) apply blacklist and whitelist without downloading hosts sources
regards
edit: I've got another issue: integrated webserver gets stopped (e.g. after reboot) and
I cannot figure out why
Can I also add a simple option to choose 0.0.0.0 instead of 127.0.0.1 which works equally well and results in a smaller file?
PS: I've opened a new issue for this feature request: #1228
Export / import hosts sources are also requested here: #999 #950
Any reason we use 127.0.0.1 over 0.0.0.0? Regarding the README.md of StevenBlack and my own knowledge using 0.0.0.0 is empirically faster, possibly because there's no wait for a timeout resolution.
Hosts sources are now backed up! 馃帀
Check PR #1189 for mote details.
