Tips on protecting children from internet abuse
If you have kids and you want to block certain websites from accidentally getting accessed, there are different ways to do it. First option is the “hosts” file located on the system drive. To try this, open Windows Explorer then navigate to “C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc”. Here, right-click the “hosts” file and select “Open”. In the “Open with” dialog, select “Notepad” or any text editor application you have.
Once the file is opened, scroll to the bottom of the page and enter this string:
Replace without quotes “bandicam.com” with the site’s address that you want to block. If you want to block multiple websites, enter the address or domain name in separate lines:
- 127.0.0.1 bandicam.com
- 127.0.0.1 bandisoft.com
Save and close the file then restart the computer. This should block the website on the computer. Another way is to use or install a firewall.
