Block Websites Using Python
Abstract
As we all know, how click bait works and how trickster trick people in clicking irrelevant websites which makes users to redirect to a fraud website. Blocking websites can be useful to avoid unwanted distractions and stay focused on important tasks in a day. There are certain times when we face the need to block different websites on our system. This is where a Website Blocker helps us. We are going to create a website blocker using python which will allow us to block those websites. It also blocks the websites based on time period which makes easy to block and unblock websites at the specific times. The main aim of this project to stop interruptions of other websites while doing some important tasks that need no distractions. Apart from this feature this program also blocks websites at a specified time i.e., It will help us focus of a specific task for a given period of time while blocking all the other websites from your main websites.
Programming Methodology
- We need to import datetime to perform any actions with time.
- List all the sites you want to block
- Give hosts path, the host path in the program is for windows . for any other OS you can get hosts path online.
- After Setting date, time formats we sets time duration in which we want websites to remain blocked.
Now you can see my facebook website is running
