Moz has a better way
I used the Hosts file for a while, but didn't like how much processor time was being taken up by lookupd. Not to mention that messing with NetInfo is kinda scary.
You can also try Privoxy
A really nice alternative is Privoxy, which is based in part on Internet Junk Buster and also gives you the option of displaying ads, turning on and off the service, and custom configuration. There's a good GUI-based OS X installer package as well as access to latest CVS builds as well.
re: Moz has a better way
That's a great approach. Unblocking the server is much easier. I was a little daunted by the hosts file at first, but it really works well. If I want to reaccess a server, I have to go delete its entry in NetInfo. Pain in the neck. I haven't noticed lookupd taking much proc. time. It seems to jump to 4% for less than a second as the dns lookups are called, but then returns to 0. |
