Is some specific website, like Twitter, bringing you joy or is it bringing you the opposite? Do you have a hard time stopping? Here's a quick tutorial recommended by 9 out 10 dentists.

 Never run random bash scripts you find online without reading the scripts yourself!

If you understand the first rule, then read, copypaste and run following script in your terminal.

sudo bash -c "cat >> /etc/hosts << EOF

0.0.0.0 twitter.com
0.0.0.0 reddit.com
EOF
"

And that's it. This should apply the rule immediately.
If you want to check how does your 

echo 0.0.0.0 twitter.com >> %WINDIR%\System32\Drivers\Etc\Hosts
echo 0.0.0.0 reddit.com >> %WINDIR%\System32\Drivers\Etc\Hosts

 set up on your network to proxy all your DNS requests. pi-hole is also available on

***First rule:** Never run random bash scripts you find online without reading the scripts yourself!*

## Blocking with /etc/hosts
If you understand the first rule, then read, copypaste and run following script in your terminal. 

**On Linux or MacOS**
```shell
sudo bash -c "cat >> /etc/hosts << EOF

0.0.0.0 twitter.com
0.0.0.0 reddit.com
EOF
"
```
And that's it. This should apply the rule immediately. 
If you want to check how does your `/etc/hosts` look like, then just run  `nano /etc/hosts`.

**On Windows**
```batch
echo 0.0.0.0 twitter.com >> %WINDIR%\System32\Drivers\Etc\Hosts
echo 0.0.0.0 reddit.com >> %WINDIR%\System32\Drivers\Etc\Hosts
```

## Blocking with pi-hole
Even better option is if you have [pi-hole](https://pi-hole.net/) set up on your network to proxy all your DNS requests. pi-hole is also available on [Umbrel](https://getumbrel.com/) or [Citadel](https://runcitadel.space/).

Simple steps:
1. Sign in to your your pi-hole admin interface, e.g. https://pi.hole/admin/index.php
2. Navigate to *Blacklist*
3. Add `twitter.com` in the Domain input box and click on *Add to Blacklist*
4. You are all set.
