Block Unwanted/Suspicious Websites with HostMan

You can block any unwanted/Suspicious sites through a Windows file called hosts file. Yes your right, if you know how to edit then you don't need to shell out extra buck for a website blocker software. But unfortunately, editing it manually is quite difficult specially for ordinary windows user. To make this simple, I will present you to a free software called HostsMan. HostsMan is a free application that enables you to manage your Hosts file with just a few clicks.


The usage is simple, to add a website to block, from the main screen click Open Hosts icon. This will open the hosts editor, click Add to create new entry. From the host names field, enter the website address of the site you want to block. For example, you can put facebook.com  or any other social networking site. Click Add to save the new record. That's It! Block websites will be in effect on the next reboot.
