2. Double-click on host file and form Open with window, select Notepad
3. Under the line
127.0.0.1 localhost
Or
127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost
Add 127.0.0.1 www.facebook.com
You can block other sites simply by adding them under 127.0.0.1 localhost, for example you want to block Facebook as well as Orkut site, and then your host file must be like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost
127.0.0.1 www.facebook.com
127.0.0.1 www.orkut.com
Refer to the below:
4. Instd of 127.0.0.1 you can also enter 127.0.0.2 and 127.0.0.3 (incrse the IP address by one), like:
127.0.0.2 facebook.com
127.0.0.3 www.orkut.com
Both steps 3 and 4 working perfectly, actually when you add
127.0.0.1 www.sitename.com
then handles all domain name resolution requests for www.facebook.com by the local machine as a substitute of configured DNS.
5. Go to your Internet browser and type the website address and see the result. If you want to unblock the website and back to the default, simply delete the lines that you have entered before.
