Hosts.add entries don't seem to to work

[androidforsamba]

Hello,

I use a geo-unblock service called https://dns4me.net (similar to unblockus).

In the router, I have created a hosts.add file (with entries) and placed it in the /jffs/configs/. I've set the permission as chmod a+rx and on reboot I've noticed that the etc/hosts file is appended with the entries in the hosts.add file.

The issue i have is that the entries don't seem to to work as they should. I have flushed my pc dns (ipconfig/flushdns) and rebooted both router and pc (win 10) several times.

Router: Asus RT-AC68U
Operation Mode:Access Point(AP) mode
Firmware:378.56_2

Is use of the AP mode compatible with hosts.add. Am I missing something?

Thanks,

Samba

Switched to Router mode and used dnsmasq.add - works great.
