Solve : Blocking Website Using Notepad? |
|
Answer» Hi, I have a teenage daughter who has become curious about male/female relationships, so she has been visiting sites (if you know what I mean). I am trying to block these sites using notepad, but it seems it isn't working. Could you please help me resolve the problem. Why don't you try respecting your daughter's right to find out about relationships? And trusting her? Just asking.

Doing relationships over the internet has to be one of the most hazardous things a young PERSON could ever do. Relationships should begin in an environment where people can be seen for what they really are. Quote from: Geek-9pm on June 06, 2013, 06:37:51 PM Really?

Relationships should begin in an environment where people can be seen for what they really are.Those sites aren't EXACTLY a good role model for any kind of relationship. As a teenager, I can tell you honestly that if you try to use some form of technology to prevent your daughter from doing something, she will get around it. Skip the middleman and resolve the problem at the source. Talk to your daughter, explain what's what about REAL relationships, and explain that sites like those do not reflect any kind of reality. Pre-post edit: I really didn't want to say "explain the ins and outs about relationships"Quote from: Salmon Trout on June 06, 2013, 03:54:48 PM Why don't you try respecting your daughter's right to find out about relationships? And trusting her? Just asking. My daughter isn't old enough to have that right or understand. Trust is a 2 way street. She needs to be guided with the correct information, not going on some sleezy demeaning website to find out about sex. That's why, just answering your question.Quote from: Helpmeh on June 06, 2013, 09:46:35 PM Those sites aren't exactly a good role model for any kind of relationship. Thank you for the advice, but I was once a teenager as well and just because I am blocking the sites, doesn't mean that I haven't talked to her about it or plan on having additional talks. I am blocking sites, because many of these sites carry virus and her vulnerability can effect our computers as well as give her the wrong ideas about relationships. I don't want to spend all day trying to fix another computer. Please, unless you are going to help me with my question on how to block these sites, don't give me advice on how to raise my daughter. She has a fantastic mom already. Thanks again for all the information.Quote from: patio on June 06, 2013, 02:30:20 PM All the Info you Need... I did this too, but when I enter the websites address they still come up. Is there anything else that I can do?How did you save/name the hosts file after the additions to it ? ?Your syntax is incorrect. 127.0.0.1 *.www.thetaoofbadass.com should be 127.0.0.1 thetaoofbadass.com Hope this helps. Edit: sorry! Just saw you've already tried it without the asterisk and dot.It should still be retried...Quote from: patio on June 07, 2013, 09:50:55 AM It should still be retried...Yes. The OP He should not use the original HOTS. A new file named HOTS must be created with Notepad. It must be saved as HOSTS, not HOTS.TXT and this can be hard to do if visible extensions are off. Don't use EITHER www or Http:// in DOMAIN name. OP must first test with a well-know site. If that fails, then we need to start an investigation. (Some AV programs take over control of HOSTS.) Correct...the www is not needed. May be the issue right there... |
