Block Certain Websites Without Using Third Parties

Okay, this tutorial will teach you step-by-step on how to block the website you think is restricted (in some cases). I'm not sure whether its block the website or they invalid the address(but the cause is same. so, don't care). Before we proceed, do you listening to Cradle of Filth?

1. first of all, we can start all this with steping to your My Computer. Then you can whether to copy & paste the link or you can made it by clicking the folder one by one. a) copy this and paste it on your address; C:\WINDOWS\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts (C is only an example, it's depends on which disk you're stored in) or b) by clicking on C:>WINDOWS>sytem32>drivers>etc>hosts.



2. Then, your pc will pop-up somekind like the first picture, ask you to open on which applications. you choose notepad. and then, it will appear like the second picture.



3. Now we go to the next step which is to listing the certain website that you wanted to block. list it on any other paper, application like word, notepad, wordpad etc.



4. make sure before you type in the address, you have type in this number; 127.0.0.1 (its important, but i don' know why..) then space it (click on the TAB button) and then type in the address (do not start with http:// due to its unecessary, www must come first) and you're done. if you had another address, just make a new one below the other one, do the same step and type in the address.



5. click on save, don't click on save as.. as i'm afraid it will cause you others.

then, you can try to open it. seems like the address cannot be recognise anymore. used it for your child safety and others cases. don't use it for tricks!

try your best luck!
