yeah this is what I found there:
https://github.com/lennylxx/ipv6-hosts

not sure what this means... so delete this file?

so, the /private/etc/hosts file "Hosts file which is used for improving
IPv6 access speed to Google, YouTube, Facebook, Wikipedia, etc. in Mainland
China."

... and yes the student is from china so that explains this at least.

so what do I do now? :)

this gets us into privacy laws, china gov laws?, no idea, etc. which turns
this to a much deeper discussion since I assume we are here to support as
many students as possible but without fully understanding what a systems
level change could potentially do once students return to native country I
really have no experience or clue here....

max, you have some experience here no?

well anyway, might there be a work around for now? or could pd issue a
warning like "is your firewall on?" OR "sup with your /private/etc/hosts
file?

thanks!
