How to Block Websites On Your Computer
In this tutorial, we are going to see how to Block Websites On You
r Computer. From time to time, you may see a website that you just want to block. Maybe the website is spam or just contains distractions, like Facebook. This is especially true when children are involved and spend a lot of time on these websites. If you regularly use a browser, you may have seen that there are no obvious options for blocking websites on a browser. However, you can use the hosts file to block a website on any browser.
How to Block Websites On Your Computer
To block websites on any browser, we will use the hosts file method. In the hosts file we will add the website we want to block. If you don’t know, the hosts file is used to map IP addresses to human-readable website addresses. So we will map the website we want to block to a local IP address called localhost. i.e. 127.0.0.1.
Once you map a website address to localhost, you can’t access that website. This is because every time you type the URL into the browser’s address bar, it tries to access the local host. Since localhost is just our computer, the website does not load.
