I put domains that I want to block in /etc/hosts preceded by 0.0.0.0
but I can still ping them.

I rebooted, but I can still ping them.

Then I have mass-changed all entries from 0.0.0.0 to 127.0.0.1 and I
can still ping them.

Rebooted, same thing.

Why can I do this effortlessly with Windows and Linux but not with NetBSD?
