SurfBlocker 💻🌐❌

● What Is SurfBlocker?

SurfBlocker is a site-blocking tool for parents and professionals. It blocks specific websites directly on the host computer, making the restriction effective across all web browsers and difficult to bypass.

● Why Use SurfBlocker?

-Reliable Blocking: Unlike browser extensions, SurfBlocker cannot be easily removed or turned off by users.

-Comprehensive Coverage: It blocks sites across all browsers on the computer.

-User-Friendly: Easy to set up and manage with minimal technical knowledge.

● How It Works

Host Configuration: Updates the local hosts file to redirect requests for blocked sites.

Port Mapping: Adjusts network settings to ensure that blocked sites are inaccessible through any port or protocol.

● Differences from Browser Extensions

-Persistent Blocking: Extensions can be disabled or removed; SurfBlocker works at the system level, making it harder to bypass.

-Cross-Browser: Works across all browsers without needing separate installations.

Drawbacks

-Requires Administrative Access: Installation and configuration need system privileges.

-Broad Blocking: May lack the fine control of some extensions.
