nss-dontstalk me is a nsswitch module that maps host lookups of well known web
trackers to localhost so they become uneffective.

While other solutions such as browser plugins only target specific
applications this affects the whole system.

[[!toc ]]

## Installation
See the README file in the source.

### Pre-built packages
Debian Packages for Jessie can be found [here][].

## Usage
If using the Debian package now further setup is required. You need
to change /etc/nsswitch.conf otherwise (see the README again). Check
if it's working via:

	getent ahostsv4 foo.google-analytics.com

This should return only addresses of localhost.

## TODO
* Move blocked domains to config file?
