Block websites without any softwares

Wednesday, November 11, 2009

This trick is very useful for the parents or for the institutions who want some websites not to be viewed by the children.

To do so follow some simple steps:

  • Go to the path mentioned below:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc

  • In the "etc" folder you'll find a file named "hosts"

  • Open the file in notepad

  • At the bottom of the file you'll find something written like this "127.0.0.1 localhost"

  • Now write "127.0.0.2 [website's name]", and the website will no longer be accessible
For example :
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.2 www.orkut.com
127.0.0.3 www.yahoo.com
127.0.0.4 www.msn.com
127.0.0.5 www.google.com

Hence for every site after that you want to add, just add "1" to the last number in the internal IP (127.0.0.2) and the website's name.

  • Now just save the file and that's it you are done.
