Tip: How to block a web page without using a program
We have often written on the blog on how to bypass a blocked page, but rarely on how to block a page.
In this case, I wanted to show a simple way and without having to download any program, you just need to edit a file. The trick is known by many and it is difficult to bend, but maybe if you have small children or people who know little about technology (and not visit this blog) can use this system.
What you need to do is find a specific file on your computer, Windows is the Hosts found in Windows \ system32 \ drivers \ etc
If you do not find the path, you can use the Windows search. So get to a file called hosts which do not have any extension but you can edit using Notepad.
Eye to edit the file you will need administrator privileges in any case we can copy the Hosts file to the desktop for example and then edit it, then chancamos the original.
To block a specific website we should add the URL you want to block without touching anything else in the file (if you touch something could move settings on your computer) before that you must add the IP associated with the localhost (usually 127.0.0.1)
For example if we want to block Facebook, Twitter and YouTube will:
127.0.0.1 www.facebook.com
127.0.0.1 www.twitter.com
127.0.0.1 www.youtube.com
It is recommended before making changes to the hosts file, make a backup in case something goes wrong, they released only chancan and everything will be normal. The trick also works on Mac, just need to find the hosts file in / private / etc
This is how they will be able to block pages easily and without using additional software.
