  • DNS /etc/hosts file manager, Block 1 Million malicious domains on 1 command.
  • 1 File, 0 Dependency, no config, no setup, works Offline, for any Linux, 60 lines of code.
  • Does NOT overwrite /etc/hosts by default, Backup by default, can delete itself (for Docker), runs on Alpine.

Download

Install

  • nimble install dnsprotec

Compile

$ nim c dnsprotec.nim
  • Force overwriting of /etc/hosts with -d:overwrite.
  • Your current /etc/hosts will be statically read as a base template for new host files.
  • Compilation requires Internet, but after that it works 100% Offline.
  • You can add your custom local or remote DNS Blacklists on hosts file format, separated by comma:
-d:customUrls="http://foo.io/hosts,http://bar.io/blacklist,http://127.0.0.1/blockedDNS"

Spotify

As a side-effect, Spotify desktop app behaves like Premium, it will not show Ads, but plays music.

If it stops playing music disable the DNS protec, use it for a while, and you can enable it back later, it seems from time to time it checks with Spotify servers, but yeah Spotify Premium for free ;)

Why

I know there are other scripts, but those need a virtual machine or interpreter, and need to be online to work properly, I needed one that can work offline and standalone.
