Not sure if this is an issue or not, and not sure if it is directly related to AntiX or DSL, but here goes:
I have a fresh install of DSL 2024 and while changing the name of my server in /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts I came across >75000 entries in my hosts file like this:
# BEGIN (below) - IPs added by antiX Advert Blocker #
127.0.0.1 <my host name>
.
. a lot of the same entries here
.
127.0.0.1 <my host name>
# END (above) - IPs added by antiX Advert Blocker #
I've read a couple of posts on AntiX forums about removing antiX Advert Blocker and I will do that if the hosts file continues to get overrun by these entries. However, anyone have any insight into why/how these entries are being populated?
