Whenever I edit my /etc/hosts file it's not long before I find it is exactly what it was before I edited it. Is there some master file I should be editing, or a gui interface I'm supposed to be using to edit it?

I'm still on Natty.

According to this post your problem is caused by one of the three possibilities:

1.It's due to dnsmasq defaulting to sys dns settings.

2.You need to update .

3.Any changes you make to /etc/hosts or /ets/resolv.conf during the VPN session are wiped out when you disconnect from the VPN
