Block websites without any help of software

Do you want to block some websites in your PC but you want to do that without installing any software, then I’ll show you the trick to that. By blocking I mean that you can stop certain websites from opening on your PC. This can be due to any reason like you are a boss and don’t want to make your employees open orkut, facebook or any other which you think is not good.

Now follow these steps to do this:

1) Browse to C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc
2) Find the file named “HOSTS”
3) Now, open it in notepad
4) Under “127.0.0.1 localhost” Add 127.0.0.2 www.yourblockedsitename.com , and this site will no longer be accessable by anyone.
5)That’s it you are done.

The final look should be like this:

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.2 www.blockedsitename.com and then keep going adding one to the last digit here. Like if I wanna block one more site then I would write

127.0.0.3 www.newblockedsite.com .Ok, now you understood, so enjoy.
