We will block certain Websites without using any software. We will directly edit the hosts file in windows, which will help us to block any site. Infact, you can block Facebook, Twitter or any other such site when you are at work.

Blocking Websites without Software in Windows OS:

Nevigate to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc

Open hosts file with any text editor.

You will see these two lines in the file

 1: 127.0.0.1       localhost

 2: ::1             localhost

Now Append this line with 127.0.0.* and the website address you want to block.

For example

 2: 127.0.0.1       localhost
