Setup a PiHole and add them to the blocklist. Then make the PiHole password stupid long and write it down. Then take the paper, put it in a safe, and put it in the highest shelf in the back of your closet. Recurse safes and passwords as much as needed.

Therapy of some sorts is probably going to be more effective than making self-blocks, especially if you’re technically competent. I wish you luck with stopping whatever addiction it is.

You’re gonna have better luck changing your habits than you will making a block that you yourself can’t overcome.

Only thing I can think of is to remove your default account from the sudoers file and have an account with a frustratingly long password written on physical paper hold the keys to the kingdom. That will make a whole lot of other things a hurdle too though.

Any of the adblockers can do this. Pihole, adguard home, technitium. Ublock origin to. You can probably do it pretty painstakingly through the hosts file as well.

Just set the site to be hidden? If it’s not in the list you didn’t even know its an option and thus everything else is moot.

Pretty sure every search engine at thing point has a option to just “not show results from this website” or equivalent.

Out of sight out of mind.

/etc/hosts and set the websites to go to 0.0.0.0 or 127.0.0.1

If redirecting with /etc/hosts isn’t enough, you could set up a cron job (I guess as root?) to re-copy a hosts file back to /etc/hosts every half hour or something. That way even if you do manually change /etc/hosts for an quick peak of an illicit website, it’ll go back to being blocked in a short amount of time. This’ll add a bit of the “pain in the ass” factor.

Private DNS service.

DNS level blocking is a massive pain to circumvent. Adguard DNS and NextDNS allow you to do this. Mullvad DNS allows you to block adult websites, gambling sites, and (optionally) social media without creating an account.

You can use iptables to block connections, by example, using ufw the uncomplicated firewall:

# apt install ufw bind9-dnsutils  #  Install ufw and nslookup
# uIPs=$((nslookup reddit.com && \
  nslookup www.reddit.com && \
  nslookup redd.it && \
  nslookup redditstatic.com && \
  nslookup www.redditstatic.com) \
  | awk '/^Address: / { print $2 }' | sort -u); \
for uip in ${uIPs}; do \
  echo -n "${uip} " &&  \
  ufw deny from "${uip}" comment 'deny reddit.com'; \
  ufw deny out to "${uip}" from any comment 'deny reddit.com'; \
done;
# ufw enable
# ufw status numbered

I use NextDNS and it has feature to block domains. Unfortunately i often unblock it back.

i’m curious what websites are you doing. what’s the threat model??

Therapy is probably a better option.

DNS… set your system up to use an external DNS provider like OpenDNS where you can select categories to block.

I used this to block adult, gambling, malware, etc at the grandparent’s house when the kids were growing up and starting to search the internet for school homework, etc.

If it’s done in the router you’ll cover all devices and you give someone else the password, so you can’t change it.
