Is there any plan to support to download remote file like what adblock does. We can make use of the existing comment rules.

for example:

#remote(http://10.0.0.101/shared)

means sync the whole local hosts with http://10.0.0.101/shared

and of course this applys to group

#==== project1 #remote(http://10.0.0.101/project1)
#====

it's easy to co-exist with other rules

#hide remote(http://10.0.0.101/shared)

use space or something else as separator, and each comment represent a single rule.

btw, we can use the comment to save more info if needed, like #lastupdate(2016-04-26 12:00:00).

...but too bad it's blocked in the Chrome web store. Is there anything that can be done about this? Thanks

正如README提到的那样，如果是编辑了hosts文件，需要手工Flush Socket才能生效。

但是实测有另一种方式可以让Chrome自动更新：

1. 删除原hosts文件
2. 新建hosts文件
3. ipconfig /flushdns

这种方式下，Chrome无需Flush socket也可更新

hi,

please could you integrate the modification of names resolves on a user level within firefox so that you dont need administrative level to run this. Thanks

The current version is not working,
there is some comments on the support page

Hi,
i have Linux Debian 7 with Chrome (not Chromium) version 35.0.1916.153

With this configuration hosts file records doesn't be displayed on that browser but in Firefox ( Iceweasel in my case ) all works fine.

I try to debug a little the extension.
In the relative file "chrome-hostadmin/container/chrome/host_file_wrapper.js" the variable "helper" results undefined for me.

I've installed compiled extension .crx by dist-chrome.sh script that give me version 1.4.8
( Naturally i had commented the .crx compiling blocked by if statement. )

I can't seem to find any help to open the HostADmin Firefox Add-On, which I need to change my DNS settings, as I want to import a self-hosted Blogger site to Wordpress.

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP Thank you!

希望可以排查一下问题

同标题。期待。
另外，如果hosts内有中文，经hostadmin修改后，中文会变成乱码。
也就是 对中文注释的兼容会有些问题。

In UNIX-like system, It isn't a good idea that I change host file to every can modify.

I think, the plugin have individual rules, and hook every session.

Google doesn't allow downloads of the app anymore and asks me to remove it every time I launch it.
This is due to them sunsetting old apps. Likely ones on WebManifestV2 as they are moving to V3 and will only support Progressive Web Apps.

It looks like this project hasn't been updated in a while, but is this planned for an update?

你好，感谢开发了这么好用的一个插件，给我们开发测试带来了很大的便利。
我们同时遇到一个问题，就是在频繁切换分组后，我们忘记了自己在哪个分组上，如果能在工具栏显示当前域名命中的分组名就更好了。
再次感谢，给我们带来如此好用的工具。

After Chrome 35 Update (Ubuntu), hostadmin is not working. I can only see a blank page.

hi , i don't know why the plugin does not work recently, it can not load the hosts file , why?

I have installed the extension through the Chrome Web Store and the info from the host file does not come up.
I am running Ubuntu 11.10 64bit.
Everything works fine for the Firefox extension on the same machine.

Hello,

Thanks a lots for your plugin, it's exactly what I need, it's really gooood ! :-)

For each project, I have a lot of subdomains ( project.com, www.project.com, app.project.com, admin.project.com sql.project.com ...)

But each of them point to the same IP, so in HostAdmin, I can see for each project multiples lines for each subdomains. So my list is really long.

I only use the group option at the bottom of the HostAdmin to switch on/off the project.

May be an option in hosts could be added ( eg: "##==== Project Name # group-only" or at the end of the file "# show-group-only" ... ) to hide the individuals subdomains lines ?

Best regards,

您好，HostsAdmin的开发者；我一直使用你开发的插件来管理hosts，最近发现新版本的火狐浏览器无法安装，提示版本太低。不知道您有没有时间去更新一下:-D

It would be nice if in firefox the plugin can show the current ip of the browsed website instead of the words "not in hosts"

The version in firefox addon page is 1.4.9.2, but latest version in current code-base is 1.4.9.1 !

Add-on is no longer compatible.

Although shows that there is no problem, but did not work!

1.4.8无法在新版本chrome上运行呀，可否修正一下。

谢谢

I've been getting this issue for a while both on the standard and dev edition of Firefox MacOS.

Opening a new window (not tab) fixes the problem.

Hello I came across the https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hostadmin-app/mfoaclfeiefiehgaojbmncmefhdnikeg?hl=en-US and I want to know whether the pluving supports wildcard domains as well.

I ask more about the capabilities of the plugin rather than a bug issue.

Your sincerelly,
Dimitrios

NPAPI was deprecated at the end of 2013 and support for non-whitelisted NPAPI plugins/extensions was removed in Chrome 35. Hence HostAdmin no longer works in the latest Chrome builds.

This can be worked around by using Chrome Extension Downloader to manually download and install HostAdmin, as described at http://chrome-extension-downloader.com/#install - this bypasses the whitelist. It would be helpful if this information was present on the extension's page in the Chrome store, and in the Readme on this site.

The better solution, obviously, would be to replace NPAPI usage with non-deprecated APIs - if possible.
