Hi there.

How do I stop people from using certain websites. Like put a block on it.

Can you be a bit more explicit?

Is it computer savvy children that you want to block? (makes it difficult because they can Google solutions)

Also do you want a full time block (24/7) or a block after a certain time in the evening?

Its a couple of websites that I want to block on a temporary basis.

If it's only temp, then you could try blocking by using your Hosts files:

http://www.labnol.org/software/browsers ... uter/1602/

Scroll down to the instructions.

Where it says 127.0.0.1
put the url of the site (you only need the www.***.com part of the address) after the 127.0.0.1

You can also use another line and put the name of the site (eg, facebook) after the numbers.
