Any Weblock

Any Weblock version 1.1, developed by AnyUtils, is a free utility designed specifically to block access to any website on your local computer. Available for download as AnyWeblock.exe, this program operates seamlessly with all browsers and caters to users across various Windows OS platforms including Windows XP, XP Professional, Vista, 7, 8, 10, and 11.

As a member of the Internet & Network category, under the subcategory Browser plugins, Any Weblock stands out due to its simplicity and effectiveness. The software allows effortless website blocking without needing any network expertise. All that is required is to input the domain or subdomain names of the sites to be restricted.

The free software offers a simple yet powerful solution for parental control purposes such as blocking pornographic sites, online games, and chat rooms, as well as preventing access to malicious content and advertisements. By modifying the hosts file, Any Weblock ensures that attempting to access blocked domains results in a generic connection error page, keeping users oblivious of the blocking mechanism in place.

A key feature of Any Weblock is the backup functionality, which simplifies undoing changes if needed. The program requires you to create a password for accessing its settings, adding a layer of security. To block a website, one only needs to click 'Add', input the domain, optionally include a note, and press 'OK', followed by 'Apply changes'. More
