How to block a website [English Version]

If someone asked you."How to control your kids on the net?",what would you answer?

Will you put a password at the laptop so they cannot even gain an access to the web?

Or will you just stay beside you kids to watch over him?

I know that all the answer above is a bit crazy idea.Except the "put a password" idea.

So, in this pictorial (picture + tutorial),I will share to you on how to block a website on your laptop.

If you got any enquiries,you may leave a comment or just post to my wall on Facebook Page

First,you have to go to menu RUN (simply press the button of Windows flag + R button on the keyboard or click on START button and click on RUN).After that,put this code in the textbox provided.

Then,click on OK.You'll see a folder named "etc" and a four or five files in it ("lmhosts.sam","networks","protocol","services" and if you were lucky,there will be a file called "hosts").If you already got a file called hosts(you were lucky man!),you may proceed the creating file part.

I assume that your folder called "etc" does not contain a file called "hosts",so,I will teach you how to make it.Believe me,it is very simple.

First,open up a notepad (new notepad).

Then,type in the notepad this

127.0.0.2 www.yahoo.com

You may change the address www.yahoo.com with another website that you want to block.

In this pictorial,I will block www.yahoo.com.

And please remember,make a space between 127.0.0.2 and www.yahoo.com.

If you want to block two or three sites,just do it like this :

127.0.0.2 www.yahoo.com

127.0.0.2 www.google.com

127.0.0.2 www.youtube.com

This will block Youtube,Yahoo and Google.

If you are done listing the website that you want to block,click "File" and then "Save As"

Rename the file as "hosts" and save the file type as "All Files".

If you look at the "etc" folder,you'll saw a new file created.

Just rename it as "hosts",make sure it's name was not "hosts.txt".

So,your "hosts" file is now created!

For the user which already got their own "hosts" file,you have to right-click on the file,and choose "Open" (you may use "Notepad++" to open it) ,then,choose the notepad and select open file.

Your "hosts" file will opened using a notepad (or notepad++ if you're using it).You'll see a lot of comment,just scroll down and you will saw something like this :

127.0.0.1 localhost

Then,add your blocked site just like im teaching at the above.

Create a new line,then put the code.

Actually the technique is same.

So,now you're done!

You've just blocked a website.
