Unable to visit websites after deleting SelfControl app

I downloaded the self-control app, blacklisted some websites, then changed my mind. I deleted the app and modified etc/hosts.

I still can't visit the websites. I've tried refreshing the browser but the problem still persists.

How do I fix this?

You shouldn't have done that… it won't end well :\

From the Self Control FAQ

Q: How do I disable SelfControl once it has started?

You can't. That's the idea. Just wait.

"But, but but..." you say.

Seriously, chill out. It's not the end of the world.

The timer will run out and the internet will come back again. In the meantime, you may find comfort in curling up in a ball under your desk and rocking back and forth for a while.

Q: I deleted the application, will that do anything?

No. (Except maybe cause problems with the block disappearing at the proper time. Don't do it!)

Q: I did some stuff with the terminal that I read on a cool tech site, but it didn't work, what do I do now?

We don't know what you did or why you would follow instructions found on the internet before reading this FAQ. Lesson learned right? Good luck!

I would imagine your solution will be to reinstall it & hope the timer runs out correctly.
