Why resolve blocked domains to 127.0.0.1 anyway? Wouldn't 0.0.0.1 work better?

Why resolve blocked domains to 127.0.0.1 anyway? Wouldn't 0.0.0.1 work better?
- HenryBemis 10y agoMy thought exactly. I send to 0.0.0.0 instead of 127.0.0.1. Also, my go to site for hosts is: http://someonewhocares.org/hosts/ http://someonewhocares.org/hosts/ and I am more than happy to share that on Windows/Firefox I use a combo of AdBlock+ and NoScript so I only allow FB, and the other "socials" to run their crap ONLY on their own websites and not on others (e.g. the -tracking- "like" buttons on CNN)
- simplehuman 10y ago0.0.0.0 is not a valid host ip
- simplehuman 10y ago0.0.0.1 will actually make a TCP connection on the network whereas the loopback won't.
- pwdisswordfish 10y ago$ ping 0.0.0.1 connect: Invalid argument $ ncat 0.0.0.1 80 Ncat: Invalid argument.
