Posted by M Qasim A Siddiqui

Sometimes in schools,colleges or

net centres surfing some sites like

orkut,facebook are blocked.So

here is a process to block or

unblock any website.

For eg: If you want to block

http://www.abc.com

>>For default users,Go to

directory C:\WINDOWS

\system32\drivers\etc

>>There you will find a file

named hosts

>>Open the file ,when you get

open with program list then

select notepad and open the file

using notepad

>>Now in the file you can see

127.0.0.1 localhost Click enter

and type any proxy number

Eg:127.0.0.2 http://www.abc.com

>>Now go to file and save it

>>Now when you open

http://www.abc.com you will be

transferred to 127.0.0.2 site

which is not there So

http://www.abc.com will not load

*This will not load in any browser

of your PC untill that site is

removed from hosts file by using

notepad(Unblocking)

( Tested on Windows 7 and Windows 8)
