help!
For my peace of mind, I need to block access to a certain website. (I think you can guess which one.) I tried Leechblock and have found it to be completely useless. By “useless” I mean it does not seem to work. At all.
Does anyone have better suggestions??
In Windows XP, edit C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Add the following lines:
127.0.0.1 example.com
127.0.0.1 www.example.com
replacing ”example.com” with the domain you don’t want to let yourself visit. If that file is read-only, you’ll have to right-click on it, choose Properties, and uncheck the Read-only checkbox at the bottom before you can modify it.
