Hands Off! 2.0 released

Tue, 10 Apr 2012 12:00:00 EST

Hands Off! 2.0 adds wildcard support in key functionalities.

Use wildcards in hostnames

With Hands Off! 2.0, you can integrate wildcards anywhere in your hostnames: wildcard subdomains like *ads* make it even easier to block ad servers. In general, we've made subdomain support even clearer.

Wildcard support in file paths

This is handy for working with temporary files that have a random suffix. Now you can specify directly, without referring to an entire folder.

Wildcards for application paths

Use our overhauled application entry system to refer to multiple processes at once (eg: /tmp/ksurl*). It's simple to create a set of rules that apply to any application within a given folder.
