How to Block Websites in Windows 10

To block a website, we need to simply map a domain name or URL of that website to our localhost (127.0.0.1).

On Windows The host file is located here C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts

You just need to add a new line with the localhost address to the domain name that you want to block.

127.0.0.1 www.facebook.com
