A simple desktop tool to block or unblock websites on a Windows machine using a graphical interface. It works by modifying the hosts file to redirect unwanted domains to 127.0.0.1.

Built with Python + Tkinter, packaged into a .exe with PyInstaller.

• ✅ Block any website (e.g., adult website, youtube.com)
• ✅ View currently blocked websites
• ✅ Unblock websites easily
• ✅ Simple GUI, no terminal needed
• ✅ Single .exe file with icon

This app modifies the Windows hosts file:

C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts

It maps domains to 127.0.0.1, effectively blocking them:

127.0.0.1 facebook.com

1. Right-click the .exe and choose "Run as Administrator".
2. Use the buttons to:
   • Block new websites
   • Unblock selected websites
   • View the current list

Make sure Python 3.x is installed and added to PATH.

pip install pyinstaller

• main.py → main Python script

• icon.ico → (optional) icon file

• admin.manifest → Windows manifest file to request admin rights

pyinstaller --onefile --windowed --icon=icon.ico --manifest=admin.manifest main.py

Output will be in the dist/ folder.

This app must run as administrator to modify system files. If you see "Permission Denied", do the following:

• Right-click the .exe → Choose Run as Administrator

• Accept the UAC prompt

• The app only modifies your local hosts file

• No data is sent online or stored externally

• Code is open-source and inspectable
