Usage

The simplest and most common usage of Block is to block all sites in a curated list. To do this, run the following command in the console:

$ block curated

and to unblock, run:

$ block unblock

To block a single web site, run:

$ block website_url

where website_url refers to, you guessed it, the URL of the website you want to block. To reverse the action, run

$ block unblock website_url

Note: modifying the hosts file requires administrator privileges, so make sure that the terminal is in elevated mode.

Another note: you might need to restart the browser for changes to take effect.
