Shivshankar Nagarsoge Asks: /etc/hosts changes aren't getting reflected on Mac
I've a Spring Boot application which uses an external service. I want to reproduce a scenario where that service is not reachable after my application is up and running.
So, I thought I'll start my service and update the /etc/hosts entry to block the outgoing calls to that service. Somehow this is not working for my Mac.
This is how the URL of that external service looks like:
And this is the entry of /etc/hosts:
I tried adding all possible combinations but this is not working. Even I blocked google.com, but still I was able to access it.
Any suggestions or help would be really appreciated.
Thanks!
