Ask HN: How to block a specific website only at home
I want to block YouTube only at home. What’s the best way to pull this off? Any useful tools? Network wide, or just for your own browser ? There are a number of addons for Chrome/Firefox etc that allow you to block sites, usually for staying focused during work hours. If you want to do it network wide, you could utilise something like a PiHole, but that's a bit extreme for blocking access to one site. The other option would be to put an entry in your hosts file for www.youtube.com etc and point them at 127.0.0.1. Setup a pi-hole: https://pi-hole.net/ Although doing that for just one domain is overkill. Figure out how to log in to your home router, block it there. That is the best solution.
