    Same. Does it not work through a proxy? Or what am i doing wrong?

    If you tried it and it didnt work, then you made a mistake along the way.
    I have used this successfully for years; both as a protection scheme and as a general havoc causing issue.

    It's a well used method.If it doesn't work for u,you're def doing something wrong.Don't forget the 127.0.0.1 at the beginning,and one of the common probs,make sure it's saving when u exit.If it doesn't,right click the hosts file,properties,and make sure read only isn't checked,otherwise it won't save.Put it back after u've saved it,and it prevents any bad software / sites changing the file.Some antivirus and other security progs lock this file
