I accidentally posted this question in the wrong place, but I'm really looking for a way to completely block ChatGPT on my computer. I've tried just avoiding it, but it's super tempting to use it for my assignments. Any tips on how to make sure I can't access it anymore? Thanks a lot!

You can totally edit your host file! Just throw in the ChatGPT URLs there, and it'll effectively prevent your computer from accessing them. Don't forget to set the IP addresses to 127.0.0.1, which basically redirects them back to your own computer, blocking access.
A good way to block ChatGPT is to add its URL to your Windows host file. This makes it so your computer will be unable to connect to the site at all. Just be careful, as they might have locked it down a bit more now. You might want to check for the most recent domain they use and add that too!
What if I need it for something important, though? Could I just temporarily unblock it?
