hostblocker

add an awesome default source (unified hosts = ads+malware) from StevenBlack's hosts project with --defaults

$ racket hostblocker.rkt --file myhostsfile --defaults
$ racket hostblocker.rkt --file myhostsfile --list # view the added source

or add whatever remote or local sources you wish with --add

$ racket hostblocker.rkt --file myhostsfile --add http://adaway.org/hosts.txt adaway
