I've updated this tool a bit since it was included in Woof, nothing major but its faster.. I have also recentlty i18n'd (internationalised) it, so the GUI can be available in a number of languages.

Translations of the following english .mo file are welcome (I think its better to start getting real translations, rather than keep posting crap trans-Google-lations, as they are [apparently] more or less incomprehensible!)

One quick question, does the program automatically run when computer in rebooted? Or does it have to be run every time on bootup? I'm using 529 and there a shortcut from the jwm launch tray.

You need to run it just once. The best way to see whether it worked is the length of /etc/hosts - should be thousands of lines

Great work!!!

This is the closest thing I've found in the Linux world to this Windows Hosts Manager: www.abelhadigital.com/hostsman

Missing features are:
(1) Automatic updates (e.g. option to put a commandline version in /etc/cron.weekly or /etc/cron.monthly after configuration from the GUI control centre)
(2) Custom inclusion and exclusion lists (may be called hosts-user-allow and hosts-user-deny instead of black or white lists for political correctness
(3) Possibility to add more online sources

I think it shouldn't be too difficult to add these.

And then I would wish I could also have a distro-independent version (replacing gtkdialog3 with zenity perhaps)

Kind regards,

Sadi

I was wondering... Are there any lists that can be added to PupAdvertBlocker so that it also blocks adult sites? Most adult content blockers work with keywords, that's horrible because for example you can open your email box or your favourite social network and get it suddenly closed by an adult content warning, this makes surfing the web very awkward.

The only one I would recommend due to licensing issues with the rest is:
