Very good program!

Hosts file filtering is something what has always been present in UNIX machines. It filters machines with certain IP addresses - can be parental, spyware, ad protection - or whatever else. Put simply, the machines are not accessible from your computer and vice versa. You have to remember though that you cannot program certain protocols in hosts file so you block them for good independently what is transmitted from/to the addresses.

What exactly does this do? Is this really an ad blocker?

One fine keeper, only negative point is the HPHosts list, which is way too aggressive, but that's not this author's fault.
