Yesterday I came across Dan Pollock’s page about hosts and I decided to try it.
First of all I was impacted by how many sites I read daily were affected. Then I was disappointed because I was noticing the lack of ads at every place I saw the “Counldn’t connect” notice. This was the exact opposite of the initial purpose.

resources. As I spend most of my computer time on Web development enabled machines, I almost always have a
webserver on. This came to my rescue in the form of a catchall location on my nginx configuration that picks
every request to localhost that is not a previously configured location, and sets a discrete and visually
avoidable 404 error page for all of them.
In case you feel tempted to follow my steps, here you have my setup:
At /opt/nginx/sites-available/spam-eater:
server { listen 80 default_server; server_name _; error_page 404 = /index.html; index index.html; root /path/to/no_ads; }
At /path/to/no_ads:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="es">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>No ads</title>
</head>
<body>
No ads today :-)
</body>
</html>
