To block Friendster using a hosts file, you need to edit the hosts file on your computer. On Windows, navigate to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
, and on macOS or Linux, it’s located at /etc/hosts
. Open the file with administrative privileges and add the line 127.0.0.1 friendster.com
and 127.0.0.1 www.friendster.com
. Save the file, and Friendster will be blocked on your device by redirecting its domain to your local machine.

Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc, open the "hosts" file with Notepad, and add a new line with "127.0.0.1" followed by the website's URL (e.g., "127.0.0.1 www.examplegame.com"). Save the file and ensure it's not saved with a .txt extension. This will redirect the website to your local machine, effectively blocking access.

Hosts
