Just go through the below website :-
- pen your windows explorer and navigate to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc if you have not installed on your C: drive then substitute this letter for the drive letter where you have installed the windows
- Now double click hosts and select Notepad at windows prompt. If you don’t receive prompt and opens in another file then right click the hosts file and select open with to select the Notepad
- Now place the cursor at the end of the last line which says something similar to 127.0.0.1 localhost or ::1 localhost. Press Enter to create a new line
- In the line type 127.0.0.1 and then tap the spacebar once and then type the address of the website that you want to block. For example if you want to block Youtube then type 127.0.0.1 www.youtube.com
- You continue adding websites to the lists for blocking them. Each website name should be prefaced with 127.0.0.1 and a space
- Now click on File and save to save the changes that you have made. Ignore any warnings that you may receive which might be due to editing the hosts file
- Now close any browser windows that might have been open and restart them and input the websites name that you have blocked to check whether you can access the website or not.
- If correctly done the blocked website should not be displayed in any browser.
Thank you for the advice. I just have a question though I'm assuming this is for a personal PC, what about for a start up company? A friend of mine suggested:Web Content Filter but I would like a second opinion> Cheers!
