This tool is designed to help a QA tester avoid mistakenly testing on a production website by blacklisting production hosts with a warning banner. This tool can prove especially useful if you require a lot of host file updates, or if your test environment automatically reverts to a production site when testing on a VPN connection.

This tool will automatically warn you with another banner if a host changes from a private IP to a public IP address. This option can be disabled at any time. The tool currently only supports class A private IP changes. If you want the other classes, let us know via the comments/reviews!
