Block updates on router level

Here I won't detail how to use your router, you're supposed to know it :)

You have to block these domains (=ALL URLs containing, including https!!):
msecnd.net
samsungotn.net
otn.samsungcloudcdn.com
I'm curious. What router/firmware do you have that can block specific https urls?

I have found the most effective way to do this is via DNS (dnsmasq)

Add the lines below to /etc/dnsmasq.conf

address=/encrypted.google.com/127.0.0.1
address=/facebook.com/127.0.0.1
address=/twitter.com/127.0.0.1
address=/plus.google.com/127.0.0.1
address=/youtube.com/127.0.0.1
address=/instagram.com/127.0.0.1
address=/itunes.apple.com/127.0.0.1
there using a host file? to redirect to localhost.
