If I go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts and add the following line I can block a website:
127.0.0.1 example.com
This is handy, but I am unaware of how I can use this trick or any other trick to block https sites. Is anyone aware of a way I can use Windows to block a https website?
For example, if the website is https://www.example.com the either of the following should work:
127.0.0.1 example.com
127.0.0.1 1.2.3.4 #where 1.2.3.4 is the ip address of the website.
For some reason this only seems to work with http websites. :/
