Bug Description

mintNanny configures blocked sites/domains with address 0.0.0.0 in /etc/hosts. However this configuration still allows connections to those remote sites. A tested solution that worked for me was to put 127.0.2.1 instead of 0.0.0.0.

I tested these configurations using the Firefox web browser.
