@mreutman hosts.deny
contains only IPs. On the other hand all the domains from Ultimate.Hosts... are included in superhosts.deny
along with the IPs from hosts.deny
,which makes it much larger:
....hope this answers your question 👍
When reading the documentation for
hosts.deny
andsuperhosts.deny
they appear to be saying the same thing in terms of functionality; this make it hard to tell which to choose for ones system.The only difference I was able arrive at based on looking at the size of the files was that
superhosts.deny
blocks a larger number of IPs than thehosts.deny
does. From there though, one is left wondering if there is some downside to usingsuperhosts.deny
sincehosts.deny
is the implied default.Thanks for putting this amazing project together!
