Are sites blocked in hosts still available?

Question

Computer networks

In windows, I wrote the following in hosts: 0.0.0.0 site.com . And even tried 127.0.0.1 site.com . Did ipconfig /flushdns. And I checked in private mode. But site.com still opens. Everything is opened, no matter what I enter there. Although this happened on other machines - the site was blocked. What could be wrong here?
upd.: pinged with the address that was registered in hosts.

Answer 1

What is it about DoH ? Is it not included? Also extensions a la "vpn" is not worth it?

Answer 2

There may not be many things here. Firstly, you need to make entries correctly in hosts (if you decide to use this method). Checking syntax means. Secondly, a ping site.com check should return ip 127.0.0.1; if this does not happen, then hosts does not work for some reason. Requests from the system bypass it. You need to understand why.

Answer 3

Except ping site.com, nslookup site.comshould not give out IP4.

all browsers also opens

The browser is auto-completed to www.site.com, which must be blocked separately.
