Easy Block Facebook

Probably some of you have same problem with me, got a lot of important , but you are person who easily drown in distraction surfing in web sites such as facebook, twitter, youtube or else.

I got some tips you can use if you want to block those websites so you will unable to access it before you finish those important work. this tips can works in Windows without you need any additional application.

well, It simple as you edit a file named ‘hosts’ which placed in folder C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc. here you go.

1. Open that hosts file using notepad, make sure you run the notepad as administrator. in Win7 you can right-click the Notepad’s icon in your start menu and click the run as administrator option

2. add the list of websites that you want to block. here is mine.

 
# Copyright (c) 1993-2009 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
#      102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server
#       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host

# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
# 127.0.0.1       localhost
# ::1             localhost
 127.0.0.1       www.facebook.com
 127.0.0.1       www.detik.com
 127.0.0.1       www.twitter.com

3. Save it and done !.

it is easy right ?

This things works by redirect any of the listed domains and IPs to localhost 127.0.0.1. For example, if I access my Facebook using the browser, then my computer will do is automatically process those request and redirect me to specified IP which in this case is my localhost’s IP. this is very simple so that you don’t need any additional application to block or filter the websites.

That’s the tips from me, hope useful. keep productive !
