thats pretty much the advanced way of doing it. are you talking about third party apps?

Even that will do. .

Using openDNS you can control what domains are accessable. Check your router, many allow the blocking of sites from there for certain IPs.

Editing the Host file to point DNS to wrong locations isn't really the tidiest way to do things.

Note that none of these block going directly to the ip address.

You can block addresses and domains on many routers. You xcould use a hardware FW solution as well. A proxy could be used to control access as well.

i agree with open dns, even if you type the ip adress in instead of domain name it still has the site blocked...

This will only be the case where the website sees you went to it's IP so forwards you to it's domain.
