[QUOTE="Quietone, post: 1628166, member: 299083"] I saw an article on this at wikihow. For someone who's not tech savvy- (me), I don't feel comfortable editing the hosts file, though I really need to block some sites also. I'm very glad someone asked this question. The article explains how to edit the hosts file, and also has 3 other ways of blocking sites. Could someone tell me if these instructions are any good and any other additional advice? I surely don't want to get myself in trouble, and wonder if the app mentioned there is any good. The router idea it explains about, seems workable, though I don't know how to get into mine. I knew how to get into my old router, but the one I have now I got from my ISP, the other I bought many years ago. It had good enough instructions, I was able to follow them very well. Anyway, here's the link to the wikihow article: [URL="http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/www.wikihow.com/Block-a-Website-on-Mac"]www.wikihow.com/Block-a-Website-on-Mac[/URL] Also, if I wanna try any of these, I thought of a way I can get back online if I get in trouble- if I set up my wireless first, I can use my iPad. If something did go wrong, would I be able to get on that way to get help here? [/QUOTE]
