Update 4/12/17: I did find it in the status bar and it works fine. Beats having to open the termianal and sudo nano all the time. Changed from one to four stars.Original 4/11/17 Well, I bought it. When I launch it, it creates a process thread that takes up memory. But that is about all I can say about it as it doesn’t show up in Finder at all (not app switching, dock, force quit, nowhere). Guess I will go back to the old way of modifing the hosts file. Update 4/12/17: I did find it in the status bar and it works fine. Beats having to open the termianal and sudo nano all the time.
