Hi Guys,

Now you can block certain websites by this easy trick!!




How to Block or Hide Websites :
  1. At first open MY Computer.
  2. Then go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc.
  3. Find a file named as “hosts“, right click on it and open with notepad.
  4. To block #-Link-Snipped-# just add this text at the bottom of the file after 127.0.0.1 localhost.
  5. For eg. Suppose you want to block xyz.com, then just add #-Link-Snipped-# after 127.0.0.1 local host. Like this
    127.0.0.1 localhost #-Link-Snipped-# To block any sites give the URL of the same site and block it.
  6. After giving the URL save the file and exit.
  7. If you like to block more sites then repeat the same procedure.
(or click start then click run and give C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc in the run box) to go directly to hosts.
It is very easy and simple way to block websites.

    the method definitely works. do it properly sunit. for eg if u want to block google then open the hosts file and type the following below
    127.0.0.1 <a href="https://www.google.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Google</a><a href="https://www.rediff.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Rediff.com: News | Rediffmail | Stock Quotes | Shopping</a>
