In Mac Os when you edit the /etc/hosts file either by adding a new entry or changing an existing one, the changes are not reflected immediately.
So you think:
- This is simple! All I have to do is close the Terminal and open a new one!
And then you realize it did NOT work.
Since you are a smart person, you might think:
- Well, all I have to do is log out and back in! Still simple!
Only to realize again that it did NOT work.
