How To Block A Website?

Use your router’s website-blocking features (parental controls or URL filtering)

Create a DNS block by changing your device/router DNS to a filtering provider (e.g., OpenDNS/Cloudflare Family)

Add a hosts-file entry on the device to block the domain (map to 127.0.0.1 or another non-routable address)

Use a browser extension for site blocking on the specific browser

Enable Windows Family Safety or macOS Screen Time content restrictions

Use a firewall rule to block outbound traffic to the site’s IPs or domain

Block the site via a network-level firewall/proxy with URL filtering

Block the site on mobile using iOS Screen Time or Android Digital Wellbeing/Family Link

Block the site using third-party parental control software on the device or network
