How do I block an Internet site on my device?

Block a site with either your device settings or a browser extension. On Windows, it is possible to edit the hosts file, and on Android/iPhone it is possible to use Screen Time or Digital Wellbeing. Parental control or security applications can also be installed.
 
To block a website on your device, go to your browser or system settings, add the site to the blocked list, or edit the hosts file on your computer. You can also use parental control or security apps to block sites easily.
 
To block a website on your device:
  • On Windows: Edit the hosts file and add the site’s URL with 127.0.0.1.
  • On Android/iPhone: Use Screen Time (iOS) or Digital Wellbeing / Family Link (Android) to block sites.
  • On routers/browsers: Add sites to the block list in your router or use extensions like BlockSite.
