The list below was created in the order of what we recommend the most.

Blocking a website on a router

Most home networks today have a network router for sharing an Internet connection between multiple devices and can even block websites. We recommend blocking a website through a router because it can be password protected to prevent the block from being bypassed and because it will block a website on all devices. Blocking on the router can prevent your children from accessing a page (e.g., Facebook) from the computer, as well as any cell phone or tablet connected to your home network.

To block a website on a router, connect to the home network router. For most routers, this is done by opening a browser and visiting the default router address: http://192.168.1.1

If this address does not work or you're having trouble accessing your router setup, visit the link below.

After connecting to the router, block a website through one of the below features. Unfortunately, each router setup is different, so you'll need to find one of the below settings for your manufacturer of the router. Generally, one of these options will be available under a 'Security,' 'Parental control,' or 'Firewall' tab or button.

• URL Filter - Some routers may have a URL filter section, which allows you to enter the URL for each website you want to block.
• Parental controls - New and more advanced routers have a section dedicated to parental controls, which gives you not only the option to block websites, but also specify the times the Internet can be accessed.
• Firewall - Finally, if neither of the above options is available, the router should offer some type of filtering through the Firewall router settings.

Although blocking a website on the router is one of the best ways to prevent access to websites, a child could still access the website through other means. They could connect to a neighbor's network if it is unprotected or use their cell phone's data service (e.g., 4G) to access the website. If you see any open networks in your neighborhood, try to educate your neighbors about the security vulnerabilities of leaving a network open.

Block a website using Family Safety

Blocking a site using these steps only blocks the website on one computer. Any other computer, phone, or tablet connected to your home network will still be able to access the site you're blocking.

The new versions of Windows include a Family Safety feature that enable parents to set up usage rules, allowing them to control which websites their children view. If you're running Windows 7 or 8, open Family Safety from either the Windows Start menu or Start Screen. Type family and then click on the Family Safety or parental controls program title.

In Windows 10, parental controls are managed online through the Microsoft accounts website. User accounts that are a part of 'Your Family' can be managed through your online Microsoft account.

Click on the File menu and click Save. Close the file. The site should be blocked in all web browsers and now instead of trying to access that site, the computer will redirect you to the localhost.

Blocking a website using software

Blocking a site using these steps only blocks the website on one computer. Any other computer, phone, or tablet connected to your home network will still be able to access the site you're blocking.

You can also block websites using a software firewall or a filter (such as a parent control Internet filter). Also, many antivirus software programs will come with a firewall or have an option to obtain one from them. Filtering software may also be available through the same companies or could be obtained separately. To configure these pieces of software to block websites, you need to follow the instructions provided by the software vendor.
