Today, I will talk to you about how to resolve domain names in hosts files, which may not be well understood by many people. in order to make you understand better, the editor has summarized the following contents for you. I hope you can get something according to this article.

The hosts file stores the IP addresses and corresponding computer names of all hosts in the network, which are regularly updated, maintained and downloaded by special personnel.

Hosts files are included by default on all installed Windows systems, located in "% SystemRoot%\ system32\ drivers\ etc\ hosts".

You can open the hosts file through notepad, which has a default record of 127.0.0.1 localhost, that is, the name localhost corresponds to the 127.0.0.1 IP.

The hosts file takes precedence over the DNS server, so if you set an incorrect IP address in the file for a domain name, the result will be inaccessible. For example, set Baidu's IP address to 1.1.1.1 www.baidu.com

In this way we will not be able to visit Baidu.

In some situations where the DNS server does not work, you can use it temporarily instead of the DNS server.

In addition, it can also be used to block malicious websites, the URLs of malicious websites correspond to some wrong or non-existent IP, these sites can not be accessed.
