Block site in IE

[prabhatmohit]

I cannot block websites in IE. The option that allow users to block website is not working correctly.. It allows me to add websites to 'blacklist' but doesn't block the site. You can try the same on ur IE

Plz. suggest any alternate method.

Use the host files method then

Open c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts in Notepad and Add

127.255.255.255 site-to-be-blocked.com

in a New Line and save it

Doesn't Matter! I Run a webserver on localhost (127.0.0.1), So It redirects to my server! Which I don't want from Happening

You can put any non-functional IP there.
