#   Description:
# This script blocks telemetry related domains via the hosts file and related
# IPs via Windows Firewall.
#
# Please note that adding these domains may break certain software like iTunes
# or Skype. As this issue is location dependent for some domains, they are not
# commented by default. The domains known to cause issues marked accordingly.
# Please see the related issue:
# <https://github.com/W4RH4WK/Debloat-Windows-10/issues/79>
