Windows is the main stream Operating sistem for end user. There is so many aplication that support this operating system. In this article, I Will try to explain how to blok website with simple methode.

First, Open file hosts in C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts with notepad, the file look like this

# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.

#

# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.

#

# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each

# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should

# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.

# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one

# space.

#

# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual

# lines or following the machine name denoted by a ‘#’ symbol.

#

# For example:

#

# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server

# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

127.0.0.1 localhost

if you want to block some website just add the website and redirect to localhost.

For example. if you want to block facebook just add

127.0.0.1  facebook.com

save the file and restart system. and Ta da….. facebook have been block.

For addition, you can redirect website to other website. for example you can redirect
website facebook.com to google.com like this

#74.125.127.100   is google IP address
74.125.127.100     facebook.com

now every one using your computer and try to open facebook, web browser will redirect to google.com
