Unblockable websites in a Mac using terminal command “sudo nano /etc/hosts”?

By admin on December 6, 2011

I’ve been blocking websites that have been distracting me lately. I’m currently using a Mac OS X ver. 10.6.4. Browsed through the web and learned how to block websites using the Terminal with the command “sudo nano /etc/hosts”. I found instructions from the link below:

http://osxdaily.com/2007/03/19/block-access-to-specified-sites-by-modifying-etchosts/

After completely following every step, I am able to successfully block many websites but I have not been able to block all websites, namely 9gag (THE BIGGEST DISTRACTION OF THEM ALL).

I would greatly appreciate if anyone can help me block such websites.

    They most likely use DNSWCD (DNS WildCard Domain) hosts and without going to the relevant sites there is no way to actually determine who exactly you are trying to block.
