  • Auto-backups with rotation (last 10 kept) plus a full Backup Manager and diff preview before every save
  • Parental Control — 14 category blocklists (TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, adult content, and more) plus one-click Cloudflare Family DNS (1.1.1.3/1.0.0.3)
  • Diagnostics — domain existence checker (bypasses the hosts file via direct DNS) and a malware/heuristics scanner covering 6 risk patterns
  • Import/Export to TXT and CSV
  • 3 languages — English, Polski, Français, switchable anytime in Options
  • Dark UI throughout — custom title bar, dark dialogs, raw text view with syntax highlighting
  • Optional password protection and UAC auto-elevation on launch

📥 Downloads

  • HOTS Setup.exe — recommended installer

⚠️ Requires Windows 10/11 (64-bit) and Administrator rights (the hosts file is write-protected by Windows).
Parental Control has known limitations — see the README for details on DNS-over-HTTPS and mobile/VPN coverage.
