I've reinstalled the key store, but every time I go online it gets deleted.
Anybody else have this issue? If so, how did you solve it? I'll post my notes once I know for sure that this isn't a duplicate of another post.

That is a normal part of the registration process.
Just register the device, **THEN** re-install the key store.
The diverting by domain name is a poor idea - it only takes the address owner a few minutes to change and/or add a new name. Rendering your solution suddenly useless.
Blocking by address range is harder (and much more expensive) for the address owner to avoid.
That is the method used in the BBB (Block Big Brother) filter of the KUAL.firewall, you might want to try that instead of your own solution.
PS: Your command example presumes that **ONLY** your re-direction should be present in /etc/hosts. The removal of the other entries in /etc/hosts will probably break a few things on your machine.
So better to use the append ">>" rather than replace ">" operator.
