BLOCKING WEBSITES

wow

Its long before I posted. Sorry for I have been working on a very important project

 

I was to post on how to block websites from your computer.

If you want to protect your computer users from accessing some sites just do this:

open this directory

c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc

 

here you will find a file called "hosts." open the file in Notepad. (NB: its not the hosts.ics file)

Scroll down to the line that reads

 

127.0.0.1       localhost

Now we want to block a website called www.google.com

 just below the 127.0.0.1 line add this line

 

127.0.0.1    www.google.com

 

then save your file and exit. Go to your browser and try to visit the site.

 

NB: seperate 127.0.... and the site name with TAB

      Continue adding a single line for every website

 

what happens: The system tries to redirect the website to address 127.0.0.1 which is the IP address of each and every Windows PC with or without a NIC

 

Chao..
