[QUOTE="Orchid, post: 1034174, member: 98800"] Yes, [USER=59350]@toto_10[/USER], you can. However, you may have to download a separate application/script to auto-update the host file. From my research (if you are going to use StevenBlack Host File), there are two options: 1 ) Download the updateHostsWindows.bat from the StevenBlack Host GitHub page link above and create a task manager to update the host's file to your liking or 2) Downloads Third-Party Hosts File Managers: Unified Hosts AutoUpdate (for Windows) or ViHoMa. I can't say how effective these Third-Party Hosts Managers are, as I updated the host file manually. However, looking at these two auto-updaters, Unified Hosts AutoUpdate seems to be the most active in their development and works in partnership with StevenBlack Host File.
