ghosts

Target

• A library for editing system hosts file.
• A tool for adding, deleting, and replacing hosts records.
• A tool to solve DNS pollution of GitHub website. Query the real IP address of domain names such as github.com, and refresh the domain name setting of the system hosts file.

Points

• Currently only windows and linux systems are supported.
• All records in hosts files will be prioritized by domain name.
• The command to refresh the host DNS in the windows system is: ipconfig /flushdns
• The command to refresh the host DNS in the linux system is: systemctl restart NetworkManager.service
• If the host file has been written successfully and the DNS refresh command failed, try refreshing the DNS or restarting the host yourself.
