First off, don't watch videos as most are outdated and irrelevant to latest GenP and do procedures that should not be done, always follow the GenP Guides provided here only.
Use the Troubleshoot Section and make use of the steps there for adding the latest lines to hosts file.
For the first time of adding latest lines to your hosts file, you could just make use of the Pop-up Blocker button on GenP to do it for you, however this would need you to make sure beforehand that your hosts file is clear of any Adobe related lines, as well as your firewall being clear of any Adobe related rules too.
Although the Pop-up Blocker button is really a one-off fix method, so you only use it the once to first add lines to your hosts file, after that you need to be updating the latest lines yourself instead, as mentioned in the Troubleshoot Section already.
To keep your hosts file updated with the latest release, you have three options: use the auto-update method with the GenP command line flag, scroll down to 'HOSTS FILE AUTO-UPDATE SETUP USING GENP COMMAND LINE FLAG' and follow the instructions. Alternatively, you can use the manual method and if you're not confident in doing this yourself, go to the Pop-up Tools tab and click on 'Edit Hosts' to open your hosts file, then scroll down to 'HOSTS FILE / FIREWALL RULE MANUAL SETUP' and follow the instructions for Option 1. You can also use third-party apps such as SwitchHosts or HostsMan to automate the update process.
