Edit /etc/hosts and it doesn't block sites anymore #55

So I found this behaviour that when I edited hosts file (in Mac Os Big Sur) then it would not block the sites whereas in SelfControl app if you activate the timer and then edit the hosts file even then also it would block sites as it will again add those site in hosts file automatically, but this doesn't happen in auto-selfcontrol. Please someone fix this issue.

Actually it works, but it is not working for google.com. It is also added in hosts file still Safari doesn't block google.com, but blocks other site as twitter and reddit.
