Friends hear is an easy tutorial regarding blocking websites. You can ask me “ why I need this trick? ” ya i will tell you later let me explain this trick first.  We can block the websites with the help of windows it self no need to use any softwares. Windows uses a Hosts file to maintain a personal list of web addresses. The Hosts file will be checked when any URL request is made. First open C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\Etc folder.

str blocksite2

str blocksite1You can block the sites by adding entries to Windows Hosts file and no problem it is editable file, so open it with notepad. At the bottom you can a line like this, 127.0.0.1 localhost Now type another line similar to it below, with the URL of the site which you are going to block. for example if you want to block the site www.mysite.com, then type as 127.0.0.1 www.mysite.com


The number 127.0.0.1 is the “loop back” IP address of your own computer, so Windows skips the link to that site and moves on.

So thus that website is blocked permanently in your system because the DNS for the website has been changed to 127.0.0.1 instead of the real DNS.. You can also do this for preventing ads and spyware.

In fact this is the best way for the parents to protect their children from accessing unwanted websites, It is simple to block. You don’t need any software for this. this trick is Windows friendly means no problem with the changes !
