Do you not want your child to see adult content on your Windows computer? If not then this thread may be for you.
Five in 100 visitors of porn sites are under 10 years old.​
I know there are several ways to block porn contents ( photos, videos, and websites ) on your Windows computer: Using HOSTS file - what is present on each Windows computer - to block those sites is a great way to limit which porn and violent content an be watched, IMO.
Attached is a HOSTS file what contains almost 20,000 porn-blocking entries - compiled Jan 15, 2023.
You add these porn-blocking entries to your existing HOSTS file via Windows CMD ( must be launched as Adminstrator ) as shown next
Code:
CD \%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\Drivers\Etc
IF EXIST "HOSTS*.*" ATTRIB +A -H -R -S HOSTS*.* >nul
IF EXIST "HOSTS" COPY /Y /A HOSTS HOSTS.bak
IF EXIST "HOSTS" COPY /Y /A HOSTS + <full-path-to-anti-porn-file-here> HOSTS.new >nul
IF EXIST "HOSTS" REN HOSTS.new HOSTS >nul
Of course you also may use HostsMan app to add these entries to existing HOSTS file.
Important Notices:
1. Adding the porn-blocking entries to HOSTS file doesn't make any changes to the Registry or install any additional
files to the Operating System.
2. In some cases, Windows can reset “HOSTS” file to default state because of the Protection, you may need to use File – Hosts File – Add Exclusions to Windows Defender feature to avoid it.
3. In most cases a large HOSTS file ( over 135 KB ) tends to slow down a Windows machine.
To resolve this issue (manually) open the "Services Editor"
Start | Run (type) "services.msc" (no quotes)
Scroll down to "DNS Client", Right-click and select: Properties - click Stop
Click the drop-down arrow for "Startup type"
Select: Manual, click Apply/Ok and restart.
