Hi guys. I'm was trying move my rules to a file on my hosting, but I´m having problems, it's looks a bug (or maybe I'm doing wrong).

I made this simple hosts file

umatrix_file

And I added to umatrix hosts files list (The URL is OK)

umatrix

I click in Update button but nothing happend. No update and rules aren't working. And now if I remove my URL from list and check any default host file always shown like outdated

umatrix_final

I tried add manually to hosts-files.json and I created the folder with my file and path but browsers says the plugin is corrupted.

My enviroment: Windows 7 Firefox 53.0 64 bits & Opera 44.0 (Same behaviour in two browsers) uMatrix 0.9.3.0

That is not a valid hosts file format, these are uMatrix rules. uMatrix rules are not hosts file entries. You cannot load uMatrix rules from a remote resources, you have to import them in My rules.

I get it, I'm stupid!! I thougth is like AdBlock system, because when you have lot of uMatrix rules is very hard the management of new add. It would be a cool feature or at least show an advice when you add it. Thanks for response.
