[Guide] Block ads using the hosts file

I found a way of blocking ads on your phone by modifying the hosts file. I have a Lumia 950 phone. Version 10.0.14393.103.
The procedure for this:
1. Get Interop Unlock using software VcReg and Interop Tools.
2. Find the registry setting \HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Para meters. We need the value of DataBasePath. It is: %SystemRoot%\System32\drivers\etc. We need to change this value to C:\Data\Users\Public\Documents or on any other.
3. Now copy the hosts file on the path C:\Data\Users\Public\Documents.
Thats all!

I attach my hosts file. It blocks lots of pop-up ads in games from microsoft (and some others) and advertising on websites.
