HOW TO BLOCK / UNBLOCK FACEBOOK FROM YOUR COMPUTER



     You can block the access of some particular websites from your pc by using some simple methods. Consider that you have to block FACEBOOK from your PC. For this follow these steps….

Start > Run > (type) system32 > ok

Now you will enter inside system32 window. Now select the folder named “drivers”. Open it and you can see another folder named “etc”. Double click and open it. Now you can see a file named “hosts”.Double click and try to open it. Now you can see an open with window. In the open with window select the notepad and click on OK button.

Now you can see the contents of the hosts file in a notepad. In the last part of the notepad ,you can see as

127.0.0.1          local host.

In the next line type as

127.0.0.2         www.facebook.com

if you want to block youtube also, you can write in the next line as …

127.0.0.3        www.youtube.com

You can block sites in this manner, …….

Now save all these changes you made in this note pad. And close it. Now try to enter into facebook from your pc in any browser, you cant……

Also by deleting this and saving the changes will unblock the facebook blocking......

(One more thing is there, while trying to save the changes made in notepad window of the hosts file, instead of saving if it is asking save as, it means that you have not enough rights to change the notepad content. Then you have to change the security setting of the hosts file and have to try again…)

  14. Save yourself the hassle and just use a free proxy service. I used to edit local hosts and use defined proxy servers too but its just too much. Try this one http://instantunblock.com/ its free and easy to use.

  30. hi sir, how to change the security setting of the host file?

  31. This site can’t be reached
    www.facebook.com refused to connect.

    Try:
    Checking the connection
    Checking the proxy and the firewall
    Check your internet connection.
    Check any cables and reboot any routers, modems, or other network devices you may be using.

    Allow Opera to access the network in your firewall or antivirus settings.
    If it is already listed as a program allowed to access the network, try removing it from the list and adding it again.

    If you use a proxy server…
    Check your proxy settings or contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is working. If you don't believe you should be using a proxy server: Go to the Main menu > Settings > Change proxy settings… > LAN Settings and deselect "Use a proxy server for your LAN".

    What should i do?
