website blocks via hosts file (Aug 2022)

# On Windows, install this within C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts

## THINK before you disable these!

### List of things that can't be blocked in the hosts-file, but instead must be blocked via Windows Defender Firewall or some other measure:
#	- paperlined.org (because SecureCRT uses the direct IP address)
#	- some Google News can still be accessed with something like https://www.google.com/search?q=politics&tbm=nws


# FOR FIREFOX, you must disable DoH (DNS over HTTPS) for this to work.

    # Unfortunately blocking "www.facebook.com" disables profile-pictures within the Windows-native Messenger application (but not messenger.com!),
    # but unblocking it permits wide-open use of the Facebook website, even after logging out. So it will have to stay blocked.
