Be advised that if you go to this developer's website -- it now has a valid certificate, BTW -- and enter your name, and then click on the "Buy Now" button, when it tries to connect to the Paddle store, it returns a "Page not found" error. I am not sure if Tyler has simply withdrawn his app from their pay service, or if maybe he is using a different service. Whatever the case may be, it is currently impossible to purchase this app, even if you wanted to.

I tried the trial version and this does nothing that makes is a compelling compeditor to "GasMask" and this is $9.00 I suggest you save your money.

Hmmm... clicking on the author's web site link above to link to https://clickontyler.com/hostbuddy/
results in an untrusted site certificate error:
"clickontyler.com uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided."
So I'm supposed to trust a program that will alter my HOST file, which controls access to sites, to a developer whose own site doesn't even have a trusted certificate???
I don't think so.... Use at your own risk. It may be a very good program, but not worth my time to find out if the developer can't even invest the time to ensure their site has a proper certificate.
