I have been editing my Windows Host File, to block some ad sites that my browser cannot stop. I want to know if, when specifying the web address, can I use wildcards, such as:
127.0.0.1 *.adsite.com
to block all sites with adsite.com as the address, regardless of the prefix. Also
127.0.0.1 *.adsite.*
to block sites with multiple suffixes.
If I can use wildcards, what symbols do I use and how?
