This was great! The only hiccup I experienced was in saving the hosts file. After you hit Cntrl+x and then type the letter y, you then have to hit enter!

Thanks for the instructions.

This is the first time I’ve ever experienced success at editing the hosts file, after several years of intermittent attempts. Nobody shows you how to use the command line; they just say “Uh, edit the hosts file,” or “Go to private/etc/hosts,” or something like that.

So thank you for being concise and accurate!
