Readme uses 127.0.0.1 as example but refers to 0.0.0.0 as the better method about hosts HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi @TheGroundZero thanks for posting this issue.

This is intentional.

One of the hurdles for this repo is to educate folks about hosts files. In almost all cases, 127.0.0.1 is used elsewhere in hosts files, documentation, and related tutorials. I don't want to muddle that.

We use 0.0.0.0 here as an incremental refinement on 127.0.0.1 since, on some OS, 0.0.0.0 resolves quicker because it doesn't time out.

Presenting 0.0.0.0 as an incremental refinement seems to be working so far.

But I'm open to be convinced otherwise :-)

Perhaps change the bold line to "We recommend using 0.0.0.0 instead of 127.0.0.1"
That makes it clear that it is an intentional difference, instead of what looks like a mistake in the example.

I confirm it looks as documentation bug. All examples are written with 127.0.0.1 and then there's a bold title Why use 0.0.0.0 instead of 127.0.0.1, this hardly makes sense to reader.
