Make sure the entry you added is properly formatted: IP address followed by a space or tab, followed by the name, then a linefeed at the end of the line. Try printing the hosts file with cat -vet /etc/hosts to make normally invisible characters visible. The line should look like '192.168.1.249^Iholub.com$' (the '^I' is a tab, and the '$' is the linefeed) or '192.168.1.249 holub.com$'.
- Compatiable with macOS 10.12 Sierra - 10.15 Catalina
- Dark Mode
- Remotely hosted host files
- Compatible with VirtualHostX
Sudo nano /private/etc/hosts; Bear in mind that Terminal will not display any characters when you are entering the password. Simply type the password and press Return. The Terminal window will change. At the top, you will see the path of the hosts file, content, and control commands at the bottom of window. The equivalent file is /private/etc/hosts. Example ## # Host Database # # localhost is used to configure the loopback interface # when the system is booting. Do not change this entry. ## 127.0.0.1 localhost 255.255.255.255 broadcasthost::1 localhost # Added by Docker Desktop 127.0.0.1 kubernetes.docker. Firefox only sees the first entry defined in /etc/hosts for 127.0.0.1. Basically, Firefox is not seeing the modifications to the DNS entries I've made in /etc/hosts. However, later I noticed that Safari is not seeing them as well.
