How to Block Websites without Software


How safe is for my children? Are my kids sharing personal contact information with strangers whom they meet on the Internet? Can I block and ...

Steps:
1] Browse C:\ WINDOWS\ system32\ drivers\ etc
2] Find the file named "HOSTS"
3] Open it in notepad
4] Under "127.0.0.1 localhost" Add 127.0.0.2 www.sitenameyouwantblocked.com, and that site will no longer be accessible.
5] Done!

-So-

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.2 www.blockedsite.com

-->www.blockedsite.com is now unaccessable<--

For every site after that you want to add, just add "1" to the last number in the internal ip (127.0.0.2) and then the addy like before.

Eg: 127.0.0.3 www.blablabla.com
127.0.0.4 www.blablabla.com
127.0.0.5 www.blablabla.com
