How To Block A Website In Ubuntu
|
||
================================================================================
|
||
|
||
|
||
Dear **ubuntu** geeks,
|
||
|
||
In this tutorial I will teach you how to block unwanted websites in Ubuntu Linux by editing the **/etc/hosts** file which is used to handle DNS and internet on Linux based systems.
|
||
|
||
I like very much this method because I don’t need to rely on third party applications and it is extremely easy to use. All you need to do is to make a simple change in the **/etc/hosts** file.
|
||
|
||
Make sure to have superuser access on the machine you are using this method, because the **/etc/hosts** file is owned by the root user and so it cannot not be edited by everyone.
|
||
|
||
What do you need to edit the **/etc/hosts** file?
|
||
|
||
root permissions and a text editor.
|
||
|
||
For this tutorial I will use my favourite text editor, vim. Ok guys, open a new terminal (**CTRL+ALT+T**) and run the following command to open the /etc/hosts file for editing.
|
||
|
||
vim /etc/hosts
|
||
|
||
Then add the following line.
|
||
|
||
127.0.0.1 domain.com
|
||
|
||
Replace the domain.com with the website you want to block and after you have finished the editing process, save the file and quit.
|
||
|
||
Now it is time to test if the method has worked or not. Try to access the website you blocked.
|
||
|
||
My cousin is addicted to the facebook social network so every time he find my laptop, he opens it and goes to facebook.com to chat with his friends.
|
||
|
||
What should I do?
|
||
|
||
I edit the **/etc/hosts** file and act like the website he is trying to reach is down.
|
||
|
||
You can also use this method to protect kids from adult content on the internet such as porn and horror movies.
