Oh man. That really stinks. Losing a pet is hard. Hang in there.

  Maker Comment:
  "As a developer constantly switching between local, staging, and production environments, I was frustrated with manually editing hosts files. I built Hosts Manager to solve this with a
  beautiful TUI, smart categorization, and rock-solid security. The interactive experience makes hosts management actually enjoyable - you can move entries between categories, create new
  ones on the fly, and everything is backed up automatically. It's the hosts file manager I wish existed when I started coding."

Depends really. I setup and use my bot in a more human like fashion to make it harder to catch. If you use the default setup you will most likely get caught due to how the bot moves. Usually the bot defaults to walking in large circles.

By using a more human like path it's much harder to catch.
