why it blocks most game websites?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] the.teejster:
Likely because the sites in question were deemed to contain malware, spyware, adware..

If there is a particular site you need to access that is not working , just open up the /system/etc/hosts file find the row contain the site, delete it, save file and reboot device.

hi all,

can someone tell me which entry - in the hosts file - to disable for Musixmatch login to work??

many thanks!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JonesL:
I've just noticed it blocks Steam community and Steam games domains, :confused: how very odd.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SubZero5:
In the past, this MoaAB thing used to work great!

I think that now MoaAB is mostly useless and meaningless because it blocks so many valid sites and renders various applications useless... :/

I can not connect to my account with the game "HayDay". How to fix this?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BSDgeek_Jake:
Those guys who are unable to understand the Concept of MoaAB, just please remove MoaAB from your phone and use some 3rd party like Xposed ADBlock or ADAway or browser based ADBlocking and Extensions. If you don't want to edit your specific preferences then there is no use of MoaAB for you. MoaAB is a DIY project. Use as per your need but Spoon-Feeding is not my style. Hope everyone agrees. Cheers.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BSDgeek_Jake:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] meyerweb:
Really people, think about what this actually has to do. Look at the size of the hosts file, and the number of entries in it. There are tens of thousands of sites spewing malware, and new ones appearing every day. Someone who is VOLUNTEERING HIS OWN TIME is attempting to keep up with this and block sites identified with malware.

1. It's almost inevitable that some errors will happen. YOU try to maintain a list of thousands and thousands of anything that changes minute by minute and make no errors.

2. Just because it's a site that you use doesn't mean it isn't also tied to malware. Instead of assuming that MOAB is wrong, maybe you should take a closer look at the site and see if you're putting your device at risk by going there.

3. Jake has been very, very responsive to legitimate concerns about the hosts file, updating it regularly. Especially when those concerns are expressed politely as requests. I wouldn't blame him for deliberately blocking some of the sites people complain about, given the way some users complain. (Note, I'm sure he doesn't do this. I just wouldn't blame him if he did.)

4. To repeat myself, this is FREE. Jake gets nothing tangible from doing what I'm sure is a lot of work. *****ing at someone who's trying to help you out, and asking nothing for it, is pretty rude.

5. Thank you, Jake. Most of us really appreciate the effort you put into this.

How can I use this on a non-rooted device on 5.1?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] PiggyFlooper:
you can't, the easiest way for adblock is to use Adblock Plus app. it will proxy your internets and you'll have almost no ads

Massive battery drain in Google Allo

I have notice there is massive battery drain after apply the modified hosts, the Google Allo seems to have http request to some restricted addresses in the hosts file but I couldn't trace out the one from the modified hosts which actually need by Google Allo.

youtube add still slips....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] demkantor:
You can block YouTube ads on an Android via hosts file, the only way i know to do so any longer is using xposed... But as always that's the main way YouTubers male money so unless you feel they are overly obtrusive...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] koboi.ngangkang:
I have subscribe to 17 hosts in adaway including adding and it still slips. it does block youtube ads in browser like chrome or firefox for android. but it doesn't block add in youtube app.

I read somewhere that google use their own server. google's product such as youtube use google server thus doesn't follow the rules in host file of android. for chrome, if data saver is enabled, chrome will use google server thus ads are not blocked. but if data saver is disabled, it will use host file rules.

if only any way we could force youtube to use host file rules.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tathagatab:
I think [MENTION=4334383]demkantor[/MENTION] meant to say "can't block youtube ads with the hosts file", and wrote "can block" by mistake.

If Google is using their own ad servers, then you can't block them in hosts without blocking Google itself. So multiplying your hosts sources will only result in a huge hosts file that will slow down your system to a crawl.

Instead, you could try the Xposed module (but you have to install Xposed first) called "YouTube AdAway". I haven't seen a single ad since I started using it. YMMV.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] koboi.ngangkang:
Yeah... I thought so...nothing could be done without xposed. Thanks.

Well the host file doesn't block sponsored content and popular channel in bbm. Any idea?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] storm119:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] antonigaming:
No, I will not block Spotify. I just want to block the ads that are being played on Spotify
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] meyerweb:
I think the issue is that Spotify's ads are part of their regular data feed, so you can't block the ads without blocking the music. Most websites use third party ad providers, so you can block the ad provider's server without blocking the content you want to see. That can't be done when the ad comes from the same server as the content.

It works on every Android device. Except the ones it makes explode. Can't remember if it was the Pixel or the Pixel XL that explodes after flashing this.
