Closed andrewiassur closed 4 years ago

andrewiassur commented 4 years ago

i am unable to access mozilla.org with autohosts installed. i removed autohosts to confirm this issue. i grepped the /etc/hosts file

cat /etc/hosts | grep mozilla.org 0.0.0.0 incoming.telemetry.mozilla.org 0.0.0.0 crash-stats.mozilla.org 0.0.0.0 experiments.mozilla.org 0.0.0.0 incoming.telemetry.mozilla.org 0.0.0.0 input.mozilla.org 0.0.0.0 self-repair.mozilla.org 0.0.0.0 tbpl.mozilla.org 0.0.0.0 telemetry.mozilla.org 0.0.0.0 reps.mozilla.org 0.0.0.0 intranet.mozilla.org 0.0.0.0 activations.mozilla.org 0.0.0.0 dnt.mozilla.org 0.0.0.0 www.mozilla.org.cdn.cloudflare.net 0.0.0.0 ftp.mozilla.org 0.0.0.0 mxr.mozilla.org 0.0.0.0 nightly.mozilla.org 0.0.0.0 pfs.mozilla.org 0.0.0.0 planet.mozilla.org 0.0.0.0 static-san.mozilla.org 0.0.0.0 videos.mozilla.org 0.0.0.0 mana.mozilla.org 0.0.0.0 symbols.mozilla.org 0.0.0.0 dxr.mozilla.org

why and how is mozilla.org blocked? all of the output has subdomains of mozilla.org blocked but not mozilla.org blocked. how do i unblock this?

Not able to reproduce on my machine, do you have anything in ~/autohosts/hosts_source?

Mine has: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/hosts https://raw.githubusercontent.com/angela-d/autohosts/master/firefox-includes

Please also post what version you're running - I think in earlier versions, the firefox-includes file was indeed blocking it.

~/git-hub/autohosts$ ls autohosts firefox-includes prior-v2-uninstall autohosts-2.0.0 img README.md custom_filters LICENSE uninstall-authohosts

i'm assumeing version is 2.0.0 doesnt look like there is a hosts_source

i updated it to the lastest version. that resolved my issue. i didnt realize there was different versions. thanks for your time.
