Welcome Pansatuser!

Change the File Manually​

1. Press Start and find Notepad. Right-click to Run as administrator.
   
2. Once in Notepad, go to File -> Open. Get to C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc and make sure to select All Files to find the hosts file.
   
3. Now you can edit the hosts file. Add the custom IP address you’ve made earlier, followed by a space, then your domain name.
   
4. When you’re finished, don’t forget to save your changes.

Using Hosts File Editor Tool​

There’s an easier way to edit the hosts file in Windows 10, and that’s by using the Hosts File Editor.

1. Once you’re in the Hosts File Editor, fill your targeted IP address and the domain name under their columns.
   
2. Save your changes.
