yeah this is what I found there:
https://github.com/lennylxx/ipv6-hosts
>> Desperately installing the Adobe crack on OS X and in the process of
hindering it of calling home deleting the localhost line?
not sure what this means... so delete this file?
so, the /private/etc/hosts file "Hosts file which is used for improving
IPv6 access speed to Google, YouTube, Facebook, Wikipedia, etc. in
Mainland China."
... and yes the student is from china so that explains this at least.
so what do I do now? :)
this gets us into privacy laws, china gov laws?, no idea, etc. which
turns this to a much deeper discussion since I assume we are here to
support as many students as possible but without fully understanding
what a systems level change could potentially do once students return to
native country I really have no experience or clue here....
max, you have some experience here no?
well anyway, might there be a work around for now? or could pd issue a
warning like "is your firewall on?" OR "sup with your /private/etc/hosts
file?
according to the web, this is the default hosts file on OS X:
-------begin------
##
##
# Host Database
#
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
##
127.0.0.1 localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 localhost
fe80::1%lo0 localhost
------end-------
there is even a warning in there that those users seem to ignore.
I'm pretty sure those four lines need to be in there, you can add all
the stuff from
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lennylxx/ipv6-hosts/master/hosts
if you want to "optimize" things for use in China, but keep those 4 lines!!
