This document provides an overview of a project to build a website blocker using Python. It discusses the project idea, literature survey on existing website blocking tools, technologies used including Python and Tkinter, the workflow involving importing libraries and creating GUI elements and block/unblock functions, functions used in the project, pros and cons, and references. The objective is to create a tool that can block given websites from any device to help users avoid distractions.

3. Project Idea
• The objective of this Project Idea to build
Website Blocker using python is to block the
given websites from any device. This project
will help the user to stay away from their
distraction by blocking websites from their
device so that they can not open them and
could not be get distracted .

4. Literature Survey
• This study investigates prevailing restrictions on Internet
diffusion through blocking of websites across five categories in
diverse country domains. A website block finder (WBF)
application is used to provide a snapshot view on Internet
filtering imposed through government regulations across ten
countries, namely Canada, USA, China, France, Germany, Iran,
New Zealand etc..., The five categories selected for this study
are religion, political, news channels, entertainment
• The study provides a snapshot view on website restrictions
within the selected categories and raises awareness on
prevailing regulations imposed on Internet diffusion in the
ever-increasing complex global environment. Keywords:
information filtering, website blocking , Website blocker
finder(WBF)

5. INTRODUCTION
Website Blocker is a tool that
denies access to websites
permanently or by schedule. To
use the internet safely we can
block all websites from unwanted
categories.
website blocker is proven to
keep out unwanted content and
block pornography with the best
Internet filter available in the
market today. You can feel
confident that our parental control
software is secure and that you
have the ability to tailor the range
of settings to fit the diverse needs
of each member of your family to
keep them safe while they use
their devices online.

6. Technologies used
Frontend:
• HTML5
• CSS3
Backend&library:
PYTHON
• TKINTER LIBRARY

7. COMPUTER NETWORKING
• Localhost – It is a set of hostnames that refer to your local computer to
access the network services being used by your computer. These
hostnames usually start with ‘127’.
• Hostname – It is an IP address (not specifically on your computer) that is
used to identify your computer during electronic communications.
• Localhost 127.0.0.1 – It is a localhost address called the “Internet
Loopback Protocol”. This address is used to establish an IP connection to
the same machine or computer being used by the end-user.
• Hosts file – It is an operating system file that is used to map a connection
between an IP address (localhost in our case) and a domain name, before
actually going to the domain name servers. It is a .txt file that contains a
mapping of the IP addresses and domain names. It no longer has an
extension but can still only be edited as a .txt file. It has different locations
on different OSs, i.e., it has a different location on Windows and Linux, but
the same location on MAC and Linux.

8.  Importing all the necessary libraries.
Setting the hosts file location and
local host address for the project.
Creating a master GUI window, and
placing all its components.
Creating a block function for the Top
level widget to block websites.
Creating a nested block websites in
the block function, which will do the
processing and eventually block the
desired website(s).
Creating an unblock function for the
Top level widget to unblock websites.
Creating a nested unblock websites
in the unblock function, which will
process the desired website and
unblock it.

Workflow of Website Blocker

9. Function used in website blocker:
title() method – This method adds a title to the
project window.
geometry() method – This method gives dimensions
to the window in pixels.
resizable() method – It takes the positional
arguments in the form (height, width) and the
defaults are (True, True) but you can also change to
False or 0 to set a fixed size to the window.
Label widget – This widget is used to display text on
the python website blocker window of any font or
