I have been trying to block websites on my Nexus 6 Motorola phone. I made what I think should be a properly constructed "hosts" file and placed it in etc/ but it is not blocking the websites. I have the latest version of Android's OS installed. After struggling a lot to get the permissions to put the file in etc (someone else did it not me, I think using mounting), we were able to get the file into etc but it is not blocking the sites. Can you block the sites starting from scratch since I cannot say how to get the file into etc myself.

Hello mate, A senior systems engineer with 5+ years of industry experiences. Do you really want to block ad servers through hosts file? If so let me do this. Please note that for every update, android will automatically replaces the host file with the default one. I will guide you to replace it again. Look forward to hearing from you.
