Hello,
I'm trying to block Facebook & YouTube in my MacBook PRO using Terminal. I followed all the steps as mentioned in various websites, but it's not working. I did the control + O & control + X thing. I tried it with both 127.0.0.1 & 0.0.0.0 as instructed. I don't want to use Parental Control.
Here's a screenshot:
MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.1)
Have you restarted?
Or, you might need to flush the DNS cache: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5343
Also, it can be finicky with the format of the lines. If it doesn't like them for some reason, it won't use them. However, it doesn't appear that is the problem from your screen shot.
At first, Safari > Preferences > Privacy > Remove All Website Data
Second, Terminal > sudo nano /etc/hosts
Type the websites that wish to block examples: facebook !! So U need to type like that
127.0.0.1 www.facebook.com
And Control+x ( to save ) and hit Enter
Type the below one in Terminal > sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
We have to type§
127.0.0.1 www.facebook.com
Can't block websites using Terminal
