Hi
 
Read this thread:
https://community.webroot.com/t5/Ideas-Exchange/Firewall-IP-Port-Blocklist/idi-p/4481


You can block as follows:

Windows uses a HOSTS (located in %systemdrive%/windows/system32/drivers/etc) file to maintain a personal list of web addresses. Any time a request is made for a URL, the HOSTS file will be checked first. If a corresponding address is found you will be directed to that IP without first consulting a DNS Server. The original intent of this file was to define where sites exist; we will use it in this context to define where they don’t exist. Lets first look at a HOSTS file entry
127.0.0.1 localhost
This is the loopback address for your machine for those cases where an application needs to reference the local machine by IP address- the loopback address will always be valid. This entry should never be changed.
 
Now lets add an entry to block
127.0.0.1 www.*********.***

Thank you
Petr.
