Customised host file to block Facebook and all it's sub domains
There seem to be various customised host files available for download that will block advertising/porn sites
Does anybody know where I can get one that will block facebook and all its sub domains? I've blocked facebook.com, m.facebook.com, blog.facebook.com but i keep finding more. It seems that every country has it's own sub domain (ie fr.fr.facebook.com)

Instead of a host file most firewalls will allow you to block domains from within.. is this something you only want for a few users or all users? What type of firewall are you using?

i don't know whether you are using any UTM/Firewall or not...
in a firewall you can enable httpstransparentproxy and can can block the facebook.all this sites are running on HTTPS not on HTTP
