HostsShield 1.0

HostsShield is a utility that gives you precise control over your system’s hosts file. Use it to block ads, trackers, and malicious domains; add custom rules; and quickly switch profiles for work, gaming, or focused sessions. Built-in backups, safe rollbacks, and syntax validation help you make changes confidently, while whitelisting and per-site overrides keep essential services running smoothly.

Key features:

• Clean, searchable hosts editor with bulk add/remove
• Import and merge curated blocklists with automatic de-duplication
• Profile-based presets with one-click enable/disable
• Scheduled updates with change history
• Backup, restore, and export of your configuration

Note: Applying system-wide changes typically requires administrator privileges.
