It’s an old trick that I’m using if I want
to block a website I manage a computer shop before and most of the time there
are restricted website that I want to block.
It’s also one of the troubleshooting tools that I'm using when It comes
to selective browsing here’s the trick.
Steps:
1
Browse C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc
2
Find the file named "HOSTS"
3
Open it in notepad
4
Under "127.0.0.1 localhost" Add 127.0.0.2
www.nameofsite.com , and that site will no longer be accessible.
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.2 www.nameofsite.com
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 then add like before. Example:
127.0.0.3 www.websitesoftware.com
127.0.0.4 www.blockwebsoftware.com
127.0.0.5 www.blockwebsitesnosoftware.com
That’s a
simple trick that you can do on to your computer no need to run a software or
firewall. By the way the Host trick is working on Windows Vista and old version
