Step-3
Next Step is to insert the URLs of the websites you want to block.

Just insert the websites which you want to block on your PC or Laptop. Before inserting the original web URL, just add “0.0.0.0” and give space, enter URLs as the picture below shows and then press “Ctrl+S” or save the file from file button in menu to save changes in the file.

That’s all. To unblock these websites, just repeat the whole process and delete the entered websites and save the changes to file again. It will unblock the websites.
NOTE
Sometimes it requires system reboot before the changes take effect. Just check, if the websites still open, restart your system and then check again. I am sure now the websites would have been blocked.
