C-S-B Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 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.

WhollyMindless Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Note that none of these block going directly to the ip address. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-S-B Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparda Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
