Question

Does GamBlock® keep working if the hosts file is disabled or deleted?

Answer

Yes, GamBlock® keeps working if the hosts file is disabled or deleted.

 

GamBlock® keeps working if the hosts file is disabled.

 

GamBlock® keeps working if the hosts file is deleted.

 

GamBlock® does not use the hosts file. These kinds of simple web address filters require constant updating of website lists.

GamBlock® uses multiple sophisticated heuristics that have been evolving since 2000. For example, if a new gambling site is published, GamBlock® will block it, whereas other apps leave people harmed by gambling exposed until they add new gambling sites to their list, during which time money can be lost.
