Hi

Thank you for a great tool.

I would like to report that I can´t get to work because it always comes up with this error:

The system cannot find the file specified: 'C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts

I´ve tried everything but nothing worked..

Thank you
Paul

Can you find that file on your Windows system? That one should always exist, even in an empty state. It comes with Windows.

Hi As said before, I have no issues finding, changing or editing the file, I can see it and do what ever I want with it. The trouble is running RUN as na Administrator and getting that message saying that it can´t find it. Thank you Sent from Mail<https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986> for Windows

Hello I have a similar issue. When I press RUN, it remains in the STOPPED status.
The DOS windows gives me the following message:
PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts'

I have of course removed the "read only" from the hosts file, but it does not help.
Rolling cache is off and deleted.
The program has been working yesterday or the day before.

What am I missing?
