People setup tons and tons of fake counter strike servers that display false info and when you try to connect to them they will redirect you to their own server. They can run tons of them on one server by just hosting them on separate ports. For every IP I block I'll at least block like 10 fake servers. It is super annoying when you have to check every server's specific info to make sure it isn't a redirect server.

or use your router.
The hosts file, as far as I know, doesn't really work with blocking specific IPs. I already found the domain of one of the redirect servers (it is is also running a Japanese DVD site) and I added that to the hosts file but I can still access it by its IP. I have a Trendnet TEW-632BRP router and I can't figure out how to block IPs using it. I can't find anything to setup the firewall to do so.
