HOTS Hosts is a free, open-source Windows security and privacy tool built around a hosts file editor — with Parental Control, AntiSpy privacy protection with Watchdog monitoring, domain blocking, application blocking, DNS-over-HTTPS blocking, and VPN client blocking.

This release (2.2) is mainly under the hood: a code refactor, faster app startup, a built-in update checker, and 2 new languages (Russian, Portuguese).

The release is not yet code-signed — see CODE_SIGNING.md for why, and how that may change.
