How to Block a Website Using the Hosts File in uBuntu
If you’ve ever wanted to block a website more comprehensively than a Firefox add on then this might be for you.
1. Hit Alt + F2 to bring up Run.
2. Type the command:
gksu gedit /etc/hosts
3. To block the website add 127.0.0.1 then the website. Tab to create the space, if you were wondering.
4. Save and you’re done. Obviously, you can always go back and remove those lines if you want to use those sites again.
