See my top-level comment. I was unhappy with the author's reply in the GitHub issue about undoing changes. I decided to write a PowerShell script to fix those problems.
- andrewmcwatters 11y agoThis is much cleaner and preferable for deployment to enterprise environments. That all being said, I highly doubt anyone is fully aware of the information passed through the list of hostnames in any of these projects. It's been claimed OS and app functionality breaks by blocking access to some of these domains, and I'm curious as to why. Blasting a wall of hosts out of access is not a very refined way of going about this purging of telemetrics, but your project is a great example of OSS being improved upon. Good script!
- nathanaldensr 11y agoBefore I read your comment, I added more information in the README that says I have not personally tested the HOSTS entries. Since PowerShell is so accessible, it's my hope that those with more time than me can create an exhaustive, accurate list, and perhaps submit a pull request. My only intent with this project was to convert the original author's work into a more accessible, Windows-friendly tool. Thank you for the kind words. :)
