A Python utility for managing the system hosts file to bypass internet censorship and access blocked websites like Google, YouTube, and Facebook. It offers both a PyQt4-based GUI for desktops and a text-based TUI that can run over SSH on any machine with Python 2.
Use cases
- unblock google and youtube by updating my hosts file
- bypass government internet blockade on blocked websites
- manage and back up my hosts file across operating systems
- update hosts file on a remote server over ssh
- restore a previous hosts file after changing blocked site entries
When to choose
- you need a simple hosts-file-based censorship circumvention tool with a GUI or terminal interface
- you want to manage hosts file backups and restores across Windows, macOS, or Linux
- you need to update hosts on headless servers via SSH
When to avoid
- you need a modern, actively maintained circumvention tool - the last release was in 2015 and it depends on Python 2 and PyQt4
- you need robust censorship circumvention such as VPN, proxy, or encrypted tunneling rather than DNS-level hosts overrides
- you run a modern OS where Python 2 is no longer available or hosts-file tricks are ineffective
