Using the hosts file is good enough for me.

Developer mode and root is required. Don't forget to disable root, when done. In terminal, enter...

#Backup original hosts file
devel-su
mv /etc/hosts /etc/hosts.original

#Install/Update MVPS hosts file
curl http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.txt -o /etc/host

#Restore original hosts file
devel-su
mv /etc/hosts.original /etc/hosts

Or there's is also a very good app at OpenRepos!
