Commonly used hosts file project list and what is its role, for this question, this article introduces the corresponding analysis and solutions in detail, hoping to help more partners who want to solve this problem to find a more simple and easy way.

What is a 1.host file?

Usually when we visit the website, we get the domain name and IP address through the DNS server. The hosts file allows us to specify the IP address of the server to access, so that we can specify the IP address of the accessed domain name for access.

two。 Why does modifying the hosts file allow us to visit some large websites?

Because these large websites always have more than one IP, GFW only stores the domain name and part of the server IP in the blacklist, so that the missing IP can be accessed by modifying the hosts.

3. Is it safe to access by modifying hosts?

It's usually safe. It is recommended to check whether the https of the domain name is valid, and the prompt that the certificate is invalid cannot be ignored to avoid access being monitored or tampered with by the middleman.

Where is the 4.hosts file?

Microsoft Windows NT 、 2000 、 XP 、 7 、 8 、 10

C:\ Windows\ System32\ drivers\ etc\ hosts

If the system disk or system directory is different, please pay attention to the modification.

Unix, Unix-like systems (such as Linux, Ubuntu, Mac OS X, etc.)

/ etc/hosts

Right-click notepad and open it for editing.

5. Correct understanding of GFW

GFW has made a lot of contributions to the development of the national Internet. Without GFW, compared with the powerful Internet companies in the United States, most domestic companies do not have an advantage. And the Internet is always full of non-display, not objective, inappropriate remarks, in the case of low national quality, blocking these remarks is of great significance to national security. So I hope you can take a correct view of GFW.

In fact, hosts can be used to do a lot of things. For example, if you are interested in removing advertisements on websites such as Xunlei and Youku, you can search on the Internet.
