Why host file option is not working for certain websites to be blocked? - Anna - 04-28-2014 07:49 PM
I want to block some websites and have tried to do this by using host file method (C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc). Almost, all the websites, for what i inputted in the note pad (host file) were blocked. However, certain websites were not blocked, for instance, http://www.tamil.thehindu.com).
How these website can escape from this method. What I have to do to block these websites. Please, Help me..
Thanking you in advance for your kind help.

# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
