[HELP] Website blocker

[AlmarM]

@ Jos,

The reason he keeps asking for a source code is because can't understand things very fast.

English isn't his favorite language.

But I think he IS willing to learn.

The host file blockes sites when i enter local ip the site blockes but when i enter a site int dont work

Have you opened the HOSTS file any looked for what a host record should look like?

Have you done any research (Google) on the subject?

Try to understand what it is you really want to accomplish before asking all these questions.. this is really the only way to really learn.

By the way: The Host file's only purpose in live is to resolve Hostnames to Ip addresses or the other way around.

@AlmarM, If I had the impression he is really unwilling I would not be spending time here

Ok so i found a site. http://someonewhocares.org/hosts/

So the hosts file reads only IP adress ?

sigh... study this page and make a start figuring things out by yourself: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_file

Local $HostPath = (@SystemDir & "\drivers\etc\hosts")
FileSetAttrib($HostPath, "-R")
If FileWriteLine($HostPath, "127.0.0.1" & @TAB & GUICtrlRead($url)) Then
    MsgBox(64, "Site Added!", GUICtrlRead($url))
EndIf
FileSetAttrib($HostPath, "+R")

btw ..

I did some testing

I did some researching

The research varies. Some say anywhere from 7 to 30 spaces. (I never really understood THAT anyways)

Some say, you must clear the internet cache and reboot - while others say, "and you're good to go!"

I found after doing some testing (and not really sure about the spaces - you got me doubting that Jos),

it doesn't seem to matter. I wonder why there would be disinfo on this one issue? I suppose it doesn't matter.

Anyways, the above code should work ... tested and it works

MS used to say a minimum of 4 white space characters. Their own sample uses tab characters and I think it's only 3 tabs. I'm pretty sure that limitation was removed after the 9x systems but it must contain some white space (obviously).

As for getting the new entry to work, the most I've ever had to do was restart the browser (seldom) but then again I'm always set to clear the cache on exiting the browser.

ah .. maybe thats where I remember the information from ... the old 9x days.

Updating memory folder ....

More info on the host file here

Glad to see that this "stone age man" was able to create some doubt.

Ok, is there any way to make a website URL to a IP, becomes the site i have is hosted on a server and it would be nice to make like a proxy ip for the website URL. Any Ideas ?
