What browser are you using?

sneekypeet · Sep 11, 2008

Edit: sorry BP didnt mean to cut you off on the help line, I just figured a picture is usually the easiest way...lol

Or if you have a router you should be able to do it there also.

Black Panther · Sep 11, 2008

If you're using Firefox --

Firefox and the Mozilla Suite do not feature built-in parental controls, content filtering, pornography blocking, or website blocking features. Thanks to the extension mechanism, however, you can add these yourself. Additionally, web filtering software is available which will filter the internet for any program on your computer.

Redirect the domain to something else in your hosts file. More effective than doing it in your browser. Or if your router has such functionality that's even better.

Conti027 · Sep 11, 2008

Well I just want to do it on my computer not the other computers on my network.
and yes I'm using FireFox.
i also want it so no matter what broswer they are using they can go on that site.

router is your best bet then.

Yep, providing you have a static IP and can set it to just your computer

Hosts file like Dan mentioned is your best bet then. It can be easily configured and redirected to show whichever site you choose.

mlee49 · Sep 12, 2008

What about disabling these then? How can I see what sites are on my work's computers no look up list?

Not that I care about hacking it here at work, but I would like to know for the knowledge.

Mussels · Sep 12, 2008

i agree with the host file option, i use it all the time to block websites. (EG: myspace is blocked off my rigs, i hate it and it stops friends using it on here

)

Yes!! Thats what I want. Now how do I do it!!

stordoff · Sep 12, 2008

Edit %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Add:

127.0.0.1 myspace.com

Should work

Oliver_FF · Sep 12, 2008

the hosts file is the best place to do it, it's pretty easy to totally bypass any routers routing tables (including any DNS filtering outside of your system like OpenDNS)

Mussels · Sep 13, 2008

to expand on stordoff's post

The file is located in "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts" (the file has no extension)

open it in any old text editor, and look inside.

By default it will have

"127.0.0.1 localhost"
(and possibly another one, in vista)
'
add so it looks like

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 rad.msn.com
127.0.0.1 myspace.com

If you're wondering, the MSN one blocks the ads from MSN messenger

Sasqui · Sep 13, 2008

Might want to give this a try: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3145

Mussels · Sep 13, 2008

firefox addons only work for firefox. this blocks even the OS from accessing it.

Conti027 · Sep 13, 2008

Thanks guys for your help

. but how do I get it to take you to a different site? I want to put it on something stupid.

Mussels · Sep 13, 2008

replace the 127.0.0.1 with the IP address of somewhere else.

The reason for using 127.0.0.1 is that a local rediriect (it points at your PC) is going to timeout really fast, thus not causing any lag if the destination is unreachable.

Conti027 · Sep 13, 2008

how would i get a IP of another site?

Mussels · Sep 13, 2008

ping it!

open up a cmd prompt, and type ping google.com and it shows you the IP.
