Hello, just a question for anybody to answer.

I want to block Facebook from my computer, I use Mozilla 3.0, how would I go about doing that?

Try this out MOG ^_^

AWESOME! Sweetness! It works perfectly! Much thanks!

Any idea how you can block it from the internet?

Define 'block it from the internet' though...

Do you want to block it on your computer, regardless of browser used? Or block it for a large group of computers on a network? Or somehow block the Facebook servers from being accessed by anyone?

If you want to simply block it on your computer, you can add "127.0.0.1 facebook.com" to your hosts file (which can be found at %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts)


Do it for a network? Use OpenDNS, change your router to use their DNS servers, and block facebook.com under content filtering. (This also works for individual computers if your network consists of 1 computer connected to a router, or you can set your computer to use OpenDNS manually. Yes, I like OpenDNS.)

Do it for everyone everywhere? Can't help you there, I'm afraid. (It would probably involve illegal activity.)

If Fast didn't mean the latter, I would like to extend my vote towards it. :roll:

I am inclined to agree with you. Have one, but don't use it beyond uploading photos of my classmates. Which they made me create, and I have no doubt that if they all had myspace instead of facebook, I'd have an account on myspace. (shudder)

(off topic advisory: avoid being the class photographer)

If anyone wants step by step instructions on any of the above, post and I'll do a step-by-step walkthough.
