GearJail PrivMod Hosts

This is a repo for my hosts file, as seen in the PrivMod Guide on either Codeberg or Neocities.

Last updated: 18/4/2026

Disclaimer

  • Hosts file are provided as-is, with no guarantee of updates / fixes when there's any issues.
  • This hosts file can be marked as a malware by Windows Defender (and probably some other Windows "antivirus" software) because it blocks Windows telemetry domains. Tune your "antivirus" software so it doesn't give a damn about your hosts. From my personal history (at least up until the last update date), Malwarebytes has no problem with my hosts.
  • This hosts file are generated by the AdAway app, so you're probably better off directly using the sources above, especially for faster updates. An adaway-backup.json is also available for easy input of the sources in AdAway.
  • Hosts file default to Narsil's NixNet repo.

Preparation

  • Download the source code in zip (or tar.gz) from the Releases (or the download repository button).
  • Unzip (or un-tar) the source code into a folder of choice. Skip if downloaded from Releases.
  • Hosts file and/or adaway-backup.json is now ready to use.
  • Or just skip all of these and just download the files from Git Releases?

Sources

List of known OS that work finely with this hosts applied

  • Most AOSP ROMs, as long as they're not using the default Google captive portal provider.
  • GNU/Linux (at least Artix with XFCE DE)

Credits

  • AdAway for stuff like the hosts & the app.
  • StevenBlack for his complete hosts.
  • Narsil for his hosts. Also available at Codeberg but not as up-to-date, so NixNet nowadays.
  • John Wu for Magisk. Though I've since moved on to APatch and/or KernelSU (of various forks & versions).
  • And anyone else who definitely should receive credits that I didn't mention.
