tl;dr what are all the ways I can block a website on linux? Debian if it’s relevant.

I want to stop myself using certain sites. Since I’m reasonably techy and can work round all blocks I’ve come up with, I’ve found an effective approach is to apply as many hurdles as possible, so that visiting the website takes effort.

So far I’ve added the site to ublock’s block list, and redirected sites via /etc/hosts. What other options are there?

While I have admin access to the router, I’m not allowed to block sites there.

    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.
