How to Block Facebook

Seeking a balanced digital environment? Whether you aim to block Facebook, other social media platforms, or online entertainments on your computer to avoid distractions for yourself, your work team, or your ten-year-old, our website blocker you covered.

How to Completely Block Facebook

The most reliable way to block Facebook without any possibility of overriding the limits is by using specialized software such as HT Family Shield for home or HT Task Vector for business purposes.

  1. To get started, download and install the appropriate software:
    Download HT Family Shield for Home Use
    Download HT Task Vector for Business Use
  2. Once the software is installed, create an account for remote control and log into your online dashboard https://family.ht-vector.com via a browser.
  3. Navigate to 'Rules → Website Limits.'
  4. Add facebook.com to the list and select «Block» for it.
  5. Alternatively, choose «Block» for the Social Networks category to block all social media sites.
Once Facebook is blocked, users can’t access it on any popular browser, even in private mode or with a VPN. The filter can be customized for different users and managed remotely from any device you can open your dashboard site.

Setting Time Limits and Schedules for Facebook Usage

Implement time rules for Facebook and other websites to maintain productivity while still enabling leisure time on the computer. Conveniently, you can block Facebook during work hours, and allow access during breaks, after work, or once children's homework is completed.

  3. Add facebook.com to the list and select «Limit» for it.
