Block websites without any software

As title reads, you can block any website without any sort of software (Well technically you do need Notepad). The type of software I am referring to here is a third party software.

Now, this is for parents, you guys want to block certain websites that you know your children visit like some website that allows for downloading of games and so on. The first thing that comes to mind is parental control software. Let's assume you do install something like that but there is another way for you to do approx the same but with much less hassle.

So, here it is:

• Go to C:(Usually where Windows is installed) -> Windows -> system32 -> drivers -> etc.
• Open HOSTS in notepad.
• You would find something like "127.0.0.1 localhost".
• Under that add "127.0.0.2 www.yourwebsitenamehere.com"

And that's it. So the sequence would become something like this

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.2 www.site1.com
127.0.0.3 www.site2.org

Now this way you get to block certain sites. If this helps you guys (or not) then please comment.
