How can I assure that hosts are enabled or deleted?

  • Open your Terminal
  • Run cat /private/etc/hosts
  • If you can see the following hosts below #[Spotify Ad-Block Hosts] line you have the correct hosts configured.
  • If you want to fully assure that hosts are completely removed from your system, check if there are hosts remaining from other Spotyblock versions
  • You can edit this hosts file with your favorite text editor, you'll need admin privileges to edit this file
