How do I redirect all the IP addresses going to 185.38.31.85 to 185.38.31.82 on my Windows machine?

Question

I tried modifying the /etc/hosts file with the following entry but it doesn't work. I am on Windows 10. I would like to redirect the ones below to go to 82

185.38.31.83 185.38.31.82
       ...84 185.38.31.82
       ...85 185.38.31.82

You need to proxify the program as to divert all references from the bad IPs to the good one.

A well-known (commercial) product is Proxifier ($39.95 with 31-day Free Trial).

A couple of free and open-source alternatives found by google :

• WinDivert
• proxify
