How to block websites in a way that makes it very inconvenient to unblock them?
>>
>>109481601
Router/PiHole/Hostsfile.
You can also do it in uBO and then make uBO block the "Proceed Anyways" element lol. (gonna assume you'd do this for an old family member so doubt they would be able to bypass this as retarded boomers)
>>
>>109481659
he's obviously literally struggling with corn / 4cuck
>>
>>109481679
If that's true, blocking will only make the problem worse. Over-consumption of pornography or a social media like 4chin are signs of dopamine issues. Cutting off coping mechanisms while not addressing the underlying issues will just result in a relapse that goes even deeper.
>>
>>109481767
OP here, I'm gonna get straight to the point. I'm completely broke, learning a skill to make money in the future. Internet is the only way to socialize for me but it's bad, porn gets to me too, distractions and all that. I need to cut myself off from everything for a while, just work and nothing else.

I've been thinking of layering blockers to the point it would be a huge pain in the ass to undo it all, but it never truly sticked.
>>
I vibecoded a chrome extension to do that
>>
>>109481803
Do you have a healthy lifestyle? Do you have at least one daily routine? If not, you can start with those, something simple like going for a walk every morning or watering a plant every afternoon. Then build it so that you have morning and nighttime routines. Another huge thing is social life, go out and do shit. Find a hobby that involves others, preferably IRL. If you don't have a job consider getting one. When you do all of this you will have strong discipline and willpower. Note the 4 things found in all centenarians:
Very active social life
Physical activity often
Spirituality
Low stress

If you still choose to take the hard way, either cut yourself off from the opportunity to even think of it, and when you think of it distract yourself, or try to replace your existing habits relating to it with something else, i.e. if you currently watch youtube while eating, do something else while eating to get rid of the youtube problem.

>>109481803
Cold turkey is the only way until your brain resets. No using devices unless the action will result in more money in your pocket. It's adapted to military-grade dopamine based control, like a drug. Leaning into other sources of dopamine like listening to music and challenging physical labor will help immensely. I found that no matter how hard you make accessing what is essentially your preferred drug, your brain will find a fucking way, usually in a more destructive manner.

You need real world human interactions or you'll become mentally ill. This is not something you can get around. Going for walks or hiking has a very low impact of finances while allowing you to be social.

If you want to deny 4chan, add this to /etc/hosts (you can also use 127.0.0.1 instead of 0.0.0.0)
0.0.0.0 4chan.org
0.0.0.0 www.4chan.org

Then
sudo chattr +i /etc/hosts
alias chattr='echo "fuck off"'

You can add a shutdown command or something else that makes it so annoying that even when you try to edit with chattr, you accidentaly ruin everything and start actually thinking that "well, good then, I will not change it back".

I have extreme problem to shutdown my pc and go to bed, so I use this and it has always worked:
# I have this via 'sudo crontab -e'
55 22 * * * /usr/bin/loginctl poweroff

sudo chattr +i /var/spool/cron/*
# leave empty:
sudo touch /etc/cron.allow
sudo chattr +i /etc/cron.allow
# add your user and root here:
sudo touch /etc/cron.deny
sudo chattr +i /etc/cron.deny
sudo chattr +i /etc/crontab
alias crontab='echo "fuck you"'
alias chattr='crontab'
>>
>>109486536
One trick is to lock you out of your pc for X amount of time just to say fuck you to yourself if you try to edit something.
alias crontab='for i in {1..3}; do sudo -k && echo wrongpassword | sudo -S true; done && loginctl lock-session'
alias chattr='crontab'
>>
>>109486536
on Windows, first part (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts) is usually enough, or a good start, as also need to remember to run Notepad as Administrator to edit. Which is all usually enough of a PITA to make you think twice and you (OP) overthinking this anyway, instead of just doing.

Stop doing anything you ever enjoyed, and live entirely for work. That is the ultimate dopamine detox, and you will be the most productive goy ever.
>>
>>109486565
I always just edit the file immediately when I want to do the thing. That is why I usually create 3-10 different things to prevent that. For example I even have three different services to shutdown my Linux automatically, because I know I would just disable or stop the service. Last time (month ago) I tried to disable all of them, but forgot one. One time I undo all but was too slow and it did shutdown before I did the edit in crontab. Usually in the morning, I just redo all my chattr and alias things in shame, being thankful that I made everything so difficult.

I solved my addiction to one website by dns blocking it on both the router and my laptop.

Undoing it is enough of a hurdle to trigger the "do i REALLY want to do that" thought.

If you don't wanna go down the Pihole/router method, ColdTurkey works decently well at this. You can set a 40 character password or have it so your whole PC needs to restart in order to remove something from your blocklist
Adding something to the list doesn't require unlocking however, and you can maintain it easily.

It only works on Windows/Mac though, although I imagine Wine could do the trick. IF you're really broke you can unlock the paid version by inputting some commands via registry.

For this kinda thing its the best software I've used although OpenDNS is pretty alright if you wanna go the layering route too.
>>
>>109493676
I tried Cold Turkey blocker but I also circumvent it by using the remover tool they have on their website. I feel like I would need 20 different blocking tools to make it work for me, because so far I've been circumventing everything with relatively low effort. I tried it all, hosts, vibecoded plugin that blocks the websites

>>
>>109481601
Honestly you're an adult so you have to just willpower this. There is no trick. Anything you do can be undone. The only way would be to just delete all local porn and cancel your internet but even then you could just go get public wifi and goon in your car or something. The internet is pandoras box, you have to just have willpower or run away from the box and stop using it entirely
>>
>>109493698
Have you hit a low yet? I hit a low that made me realize I need to stop and I want to stop and that's what it took for me to start really trying. I still wanna do it and am tempted but I just know it's demonic mindrot poison and I know I have to stop engaging in it after realizing the truth.
>>
>>109493874
Willpower method is not good, it's a finite resource that puts strain on your mind and makes you relapse eventually, guaranteed. Heavy addictions are not solved with common sense, a lot of addicts know they could do better but the addiction affects them physically (aka why junkies have shivers when abstaining)

>>109493895
It seems like no matter how low I go, I still go lower. I've been gooning to trannies, ai chatbots, a lot of shit that I despise but got addicted to because of the circumstances. I could still get worse and I'm not far from my health getting completely destroyed. Even then I'm afraid I won't stop. I'm too deep by the conventional standards.
>>
>>109493921
addiction cure rate is dogshit low anon I'm sorry to tell you this. Willpower or finding God are basically your only options. Porn addiction is close to food addiction. It feeds off a natural instinct you're inclined towards naturally and access is everywhere at any time as much as you want. You have to use tech for the modern world and it's all just one easy hop away even with the most tedious blocks in your way we both know you can get around it, just have porn on a secret usb or hdd or route around it or whatever the solution is always there to go back easily.

You're going to have to fight, or turn to God but I'm not foolish enough to think it's that easy, you need something to hit you in the soul and make you go 'ok this is enough, I'm done' you may never hit there or you may need to struggle longer IDK, I can only tell you as one gooner to another there's no technological cure unless you just become ted and live in the woods and your mind is occupied away from tech on other things all the time.

Having regular sex with women would do more for me than anything else, but to have it I have to overcome my porn addiction and fix my life. Catch 22 if you will
>>
>>109494063
Many porn addicts are still in relationships. Having a gf may seem like a solution but gooning will tempt you back eventually. Especially if you're far in it can be better than sex unironically, I guess if anons know they know. I wish you luck, my advice would be that this shit imo is genuinely spiritual warfare, it's meant to do what it's doing and it's old spirtual warfare as well, very very old. If you're spiritually inclined or open to it attacking it from that angle may be successful for you.

It's an ongoing fight forever as long as you're alive though. I've stopped but I still wanna go back all the time, I get why people wanna just keep their kids sheltered from all this stuff, once you're in it's rough
>>
>>109494092
Nah, for me porn and gooning is pretty much 100% coping with lack of sex. If not for porn, I'd pretty much be disconnected from sexuality, which sounds grim but that's exactly what you get for not having sex. Ironically if it were a spiritual issue for me, it would be much easier to solve. That's why God won't help me, it would only turn me into a schizoid who relies on higher powers, I've seen it happen more than once. Random club slut would do more for me than going to church.

>>109493921
this is cliche and maybe you won’t want to hear it but you need to start exercising, preferably outside. it’s not the only thing you need to do but it’s basically non-negotiable. you won’t even have the energy to goon if you do cardio or lift weights until until your body is sore. and for the times when you absolutely need to jerk off, have a go-to image or folder of images ready on your desktop. be done in 5 minutes. it’s not fun time, it’s stress management. I was a turbo gooner for years, really sick and degenerate shit, many times a day, and nothing worked until I went outside and started exercising (which rolled into many other improvements as well)
>>
>>109494139
Lifting doesn't make you hornier? It does for me, I almost always goon after the gym

>>109494153
no but I always do heavy cardio on the same days I lift. it feels like I channeled all my pent up sexual energy into cardio and jerking off is almost a chore now

During a similar crunch I had success with leechblock. It has a bunch of different levels of how bad you want it to be to unblock it and nothing stops you from just uninstalling the extension but it added enough of a roadblock to me. I started off simple and just added a couple of key sites to the blocklist until 8PM m-f and 12pm saturdays. Just seeing the override screen is typically enough for me to check myself. If you need something you can override a few minutes or a few hours at time. You can set limits on overrides if necessary. I'd recommend adding it to all browsers on your phone and computer. Might not help everyone but it helped me a ton.
