But in order to block websites, your child will need to have their own Windows user account and sign in on their own — they can’t simply use your account, because you can’t block websites on adult accounts.

Here’s how to set up a Windows account for your kids, and use it to block websites on Windows 10. Note that you can set this up using any internet browser, but once you do, the sites will only be blocked in Microsoft Edge — any other browser will be unaffected.

Blocking a website on a router

Most home networks today have a network router for sharing an Internet connection between multiple devices and can even block websites. We recommend blocking a website through a router because it can be password protected, prevents blocks from being bypassed, and because it blocks all devices. Blocking on the router can prevent your children from accessing a page (e.g., Facebook) on the computer, and any cell phone or tablet connected to your home network.

To block a website on a router, connect to the home network router. For most routers, this is done by opening a browser and visiting the default router address: http://192.168.1.1

If this address does not work or you’re having trouble accessing your router setup, visit the link below.

How to adjust the settings of a home router.

After connecting to the router, block a website through one of the below features. Unfortunately, each router setup is different, so you’ll need to find one of the below settings for your manufacturer of the router. Generally, one of these options will be available under a «Security,» «Parental control,» or «Firewall» tab or button.

URL Filter — Some routers may have a URL filter section, which lets you enter the URL for each website you want to block.
Parental controls — New and more advanced routers have a section dedicated to parental controls, which gives you not only the option to block websites, but also specify the times the Internet can be accessed.
Firewall — Finally, if neither of the above options is available, the router should offer some type of filtering through the Firewall router settings.

Note

Although blocking a website on the router is one of the best ways to prevent access to websites, a child could still access the website through other means. They could connect to a neighbor’s network if it’s unprotected or use their cell phone’s data service (e.g., 4G) to access the website. If you see any open networks in your neighborhood, try to educate your neighbors about the security vulnerabilities of leaving a network open.

Block a website using Family Safety

Note

Blocking a site using these steps only blocks the website on one computer. Any other computer, phone, or tablet connected to your home network can access the site you’re blocking.

The new versions of Windows include a Family Safety feature that enable parents to set up usage rules, allowing them to control which websites their children view. If you’re running Windows 7 or 8, open Family Safety from either the Windows Start menu or Start Screen. Type family and click the Family Safety or parental controls program in the search results.

Note

In Windows 10, parental controls are managed online through the Microsoft accounts website. User accounts that are a part of «Your Family» can be managed through your online Microsoft account.

When open, you see a screen similar to the example below which gives you access to web filtering, time limits, logs, and the type of games that can be played.

Blocking a website in Windows

Note

Blocking a site using these steps only blocks the website on one computer. Any other computer, phone, or tablet connected to your home network can still access the site you’re blocking.

A website can be blocked on any Windows computer by editing the hosts file (also see the lmhost file).

Locate the hosts file in Windows Explorer.

Windows XP and later versions: C:WINDOWSsystem32driversetc
Windows 2000 & NT: C:WINNTsystem32driversetc
Windows 98 & ME: C:WINDOWS

Navigate to the proper directory using Windows Explorer. Double-click the hosts file. Choose Notepad from the list of programs to open and edit the file in Notepad.

Find the line below:

127.0.0.1 localhost

Right underneath it, add the following lines (replacing badsite.com with the site you want to block):

127.0.0.1 badsite.com
127.0.0.1 www.badsite.com

Click File in the menu bar and select Save. Close the file. The site should be blocked in all web browsers and now instead of trying to access that site, the computer will redirect you to the localhost.

Additional information with viewing, editing, and modifying the lmhost file.

Blocking a website using software

Note

Blocking a site using these steps only blocks the website on one computer. Any other computer, phone, or tablet connected to your home network can still access the site you’re blocking.

You can also block websites using a software firewall or a filter (such as a parent control Internet filter). Also, many antivirus software programs come with a firewall or have an option to obtain one from them. Filtering software may also be available through the same companies or could be obtained separately. To configure these pieces of software to block websites, you need to follow the instructions provided by the software vendor.

So much of our life is digital today. We visit tens of websites every day to consume and share information. But the sites we visit might not be appropriate for our kids.

If you share your Windows 10 PC with your kids, it’s a good idea to block access to certain websites on your PC.

While there are tens of free and commercial software around to block websites on a PC, you can use the built-in hosts file to block URLs on your Windows PC. Just by adding URLs of a website to the host file, you can block that website on your PC. None of the browsers installed on your PC will be able to open those blocked websites.

Here are two easy ways to block websites on your Windows 10 PC by editing the hosts file.

Block websites by manually editing the hosts file in Windows 10

As said, you can block websites on your Windows 10 PC without installing any additional software. All you need to do is edit the hosts file. Here is how to do just that.

If you are not comfortable manually editing the hosts file, you can use this tiny URL Blocker utility to block websites on your Windows 10 PC. The URL Blocker allows you edit the hosts file without opening the hosts file. Here is how to use URL Blocker to block websites in Windows 10.
