# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.

# For example:

#      102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server
#       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host
# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.

@oiltanker Done, thanks!

thanks i don't have to go insane anymore

isn't this IP going to change eventually? is there no dns friendly adress?
127.0.0.1 65.52.240.48

@RaTcHeT302 I only copy-pasted whatever I could sniff. So, this IP address is probably hardcoded in GameRanger and doesn't have any domain name associated with it.

ah ok

wait isn't that like a horrible security issue?

Thank you!
