[liberationtech] Internet blocking tools

[Greg]

I’m gonna help you out brother (or sister, can’t tell what gender your name is).

If you’re on a mac or linux, whip out that terminal and type:

$ sudo nano /etc/hosts

Then add an entry like:

	127.0.0.1   twitter.com <http://twitter.com/>

Save the file, and bam, twitter is blocked in all browsers.

Cheers!
Greg

I'm trying to study for the bar exam and only need access to two or three websites most days. Embarrassingly incapable of avoiding the internet rabbit holes on my own. Would appreciate any advice.
