Webnull
======
A tool for putting hosts into a blackhole.

Webnull is a command line program that lets you stop your computer from being able to reach certain websites.

Usage: `sudo webnull deny example.com`

Above, example.com will be added to your hosts file and routed to localhost. The next time you try to visit example.com your browser won't be able to find it.

Later, `sudo webnull allow example` will re-allow access to the site for five minutes.

`sudo webnull allow -am` will allow access to all blocked sites until tomorrow morning.

See `webnull -h` for full usage.

`pip install webnull`

```
