How To Block Websites using command line batch script

Hi friends, I received many emails asking for how to block website 

 using batch file. Because home users cannot afford Firewalls or 

 Parental control software's they want security for free, so no need to 

 worry, you are at right place I will provide you a fully free website 

 blocker...)












OK friends let's Start Creating website blocker 

 First open a Notepad

 Copy the code below



echo off
title Websites blocker by askmetricks.blogspot.com
echo off
color a
set /p m=Type URL you want to block:
FIND /C /I "%M%" %WINDIR%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
IF %ERRORLEVEL% NEQ 0 ECHO ^127.0.0.1                           %M%>>%WINDIR%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
cls
color b
echo %M% Blocked successfully...
pause


Now paste code into Notepad & save it as Website blocker.bat

Now open Website blocker.bat type URL which you want to block 

 & hit Enter...)

 That's it...

    Dont add your URL (http://www.awwwards.com/) in batch script because you have to put URL When you run the Batch File
