| ### 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. | |
