Possible Duplicates:
Good free internet filter
Using wildcards in names in Windows hosts file

I'd like to block connections to specific domains.

I know about the HOSTS file on Windows, but unfortunately it does not support wildcards. Basically, I'd like to block all connections to *.somedomain.com. The point is that the * can be almost anything so I cannot hardcode all possibilities.

Therefore, how can I block connections to those domains (including all subdomains) on Windows?

I think using softwares like Privoxy will do the trick. Give it a go :)

Privoxy is a non-caching web proxy with advanced filtering capabilities for enhancing privacy, modifying web page data and HTTP headers, controlling access, and removing ads and other obnoxious Internet junk. Privoxy has a flexible configuration and can be customized to suit individual needs and tastes. It has application for both stand-alone systems and multi-user networks.
