Xmarks Cannot Sync or Connection Reset Solution (Modify hosts)

This operation is only used to solve the problem of the Firefox plugin Xmarks not being able to sync or having the connection reset. The following method can solve the issue of being unable to access Xmarks.

Create a new text document and enter the following content:

1
attrib -s -r C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
2
call notepad.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
3
attrib +r +s C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
4
exit

Then rename the file to: a.bat

Run the created a.bat file. In the Notepad editor that pops up, add a few new lines at the bottom with the following content:

1
#xmarks
2
64.147.188.86   www.xmarks.com
3
64.147.188.92   api.xmarks.com
4
64.147.188.89   login.xmarks.com
5
64.147.188.87   sync.xmarks.com
6
64.147.188.86   static.xmarks.com
7
64.147.188.86   download.xmarks.com
8
64.147.188.86   my.xmarks.com

After saving, open the Xmarks settings menu, select “Advanced”, choose “Encrypt All” in the encryption dropdown, and you can sync now.
