    Hey guys ! It's just nice to be a part of NoFap community. I recently found a way to help us refrain from PMO, by blocking Internet access to certain sites. You may or may not know this tip however. For those who don't know : You can help to abstain from PMO by blocking specific porn sites in your router settings. This method is pretty easy to do, as long as you have some technical knowledge about managing your router. Having trouble ? Leave a reply below this post and I will help.

    P.S. : For this to work, don't use Tor, VPN or any other network-tunneling software like those ;)

    good advice!
    Another good way, although this one can be a bit more complex, is through your pc settings

    This is purely to help deter you and will not work if you work around it, same with the above option

    Seeing a page fail to load helps remind me of why I am doing this and almost always is enough to get me back on track

    here's how!

    Block a Website on Your PC

    1. Open Windows Explorer and navigate to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc. If Windows is not installed on C:, substitute the appropriate drive letter.

    2. Double-click hosts, and select Notepad when Windows prompts you to choose a program. If you don't get the prompt, or if the hosts file opens in another program, open Notepad with administrator privileges (right click, click on Run as administrator), (Start, All Programs, Accessories, Notepad), and then navigate to hosts by clicking File, Open within Notepad.

    3. Place the cursor at the end of the last line, which will say something such as '127.0.0.1 localhost' or '::1 localhost'. Press Enter to create a new line.

    4. Type 127.0.0.1, tap the spacebar once, and then type the address of a website you want to block. For example, to block all traffic from YouTube, type 127.0.0.1 www.youtube.com on this line.

    5. Continue to add the websites you wish to block, each prefaced with 127.0.0.1 and a space.

    6. Click File, Save to commit to your changes. Dismiss any warnings from antimalware software, which may be triggered by your editing of the hosts file.

    7. Close any open browser windows, and then reopen a browser to test your edits. The blocked sites should not display in any browser.
