In depth
A closer look at HostsToggle
HostsToggle is a Hosts file management tool, created to make transitions between multiple Hosts settings a lot faster. HostsToggle adds a red button to the system tray, from which you can enable/disable, load, and backup your Hosts file. HostsToggle makes turning the Hosts file "on" and "off" as easy as clicking a button. The Hosts file can also be automatically restored after a specified amount of time - great if you keep forgetting to turn the Hosts back on! And finally, you can easily load alternate Hosts files (saved with the extension .tgl) so that instead of completely turning off the Hosts file, you can load one without the entries that are causing you trouble.
