# Website Blocker using Python
|
||
This is a program which blocks certain distracting website like Facebook, Youtube etc during your work hours.
|
||
|
||
## Libraby Used
|
||
time (datetime is imported from python)
|
||
|
||
## Host Files
|
||
Host is an operating system file which maps hostnames to IP addresses.
|
||
Using python file handling manipulation I have changed hostnames on the hosts files for a certain interval of day when I'm working and need no distraction and deleted it then after when the time is over.
|
||
|
||
## Location of host file
|
||
### Host file on Mac and Linux :
|
||
$ /etc/hosts
|
||
|
||
### Host file on windows :
|
||
$ C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
|
||
|
||
## Note
|
||
* Windows user need to create a duplicate of OS’s host file. Now provide the path of the duplicate file in hosts_path mentioned in the script.
|
||
* For scheduling above script in Linux you have to open crontab in your terminal as a root.(use sudo command)
