Overview

========

nss-block is a simple and transparent ad blocking solution for systems running

glibc (http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/).

It's implemented as a dummy DNS resolver that redirects all domain names

specified under /etc/hosts.blacklist to 127.0.0.1.

Usage

=====

  1) Build and install nss-block

  2) Add "block" to /etc/nsswitch.conf, under "hosts"

  3) Create /etc/hosts.blacklist and put each domain name you wish to block in

     a separate line
