How to Block umbla.com?

Hello,

This is my first time so be gentle.
I've tried using 127.0.0.1 No go. I've Restricted Sites, No Go, a * is added after I close the tols window ie http//*umble.com. Thank you for your time

 

edit your hosts file, close your browser and run an ipconfig/flushdns at command prompt.

to edit hosts file:
start - my computer - c:/ drive - windows - system32 - drivers - etc - double click 'hosts' and use notepad to edit the file. this is what it looks like:

# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

127.0.0.1 localhost

change localhost to that website www.umble.com

Save the changes.


once you do that you need to go into command prompt and run ipconfig/flushdns

to do this:
start - run - type cmd - hit enter
command prompt will come up. in command prompt type ipconfig/flushdns and hit enter. that website will be "blocked".

 

KingSteve,
Did not work. I tried the ipconfig... the command was successful. The 127.0.0.1 www.umbla.com was already in the hosts file. I took it out ran the ipconfig/... put it back in and ran ipconfig/... again. No change
Thanks

 

you have to run ipconfig/flushdns

 

this is what the hosts file should look like.

#127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 www.umbla.com

save that. close browsers and run ipconfig/flushdns. it should work, i just tried it.

 

Not yet. LOL hosts file below
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

#127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 www.umbla.com
127.0.0.1 www.youtube.com

ipconfig/flushdns below

Windows IP Configuration

Successfilly flushed the DNS Resolver Cache

 

youtube works fine???
I used it as a test I even tried NFL.com it works also.

Thank you for your time

I removed youtube (the only other one) form the the hosts and just used your procedure with umbla.com. It worked.
Maybe because I 1st went through google search to get to umbla.com and this time I typed in the URL.
Again thank you for your time
