# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
#      102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server
#       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host

# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
#	127.0.0.1       localhost

Press Ctrl + S and once it is saved, restart your PC and try to open the software again.
If the info above is all correct then it is your ISP blocking the outbound connection, Please enable a VPN and then login, if you do not have a VPN simply download a free one like Protonvpn, Connect to it and then sign in. If none of this works as a last resort factory restore your pc and remove all apps and settings, once the pc does say download/install OctoSniff and it should 100% work
