MassMediaBlock blocks news and porn sites in every browser on your
Linux or Windows machine — and tells a friend the moment you try to get around it.
Why it works when willpower doesn't
You're the administrator of your own computer; no local blocker can technically stop a
determined you. So instead of pretending to be unbreakable, MassMediaBlock makes relapse
socially costly: adding a block is instant, but removing a site, disabling a
category, or pausing protection needs your accountability buddy to reply APPROVE on
Telegram before it takes effect. Every attempt to open a blocked site — and every
attempt to tamper with the block — sends them a message.
How it blocks
Hosts-file floor — blocked domains (1000+ curated news outlets in English
and Russian, tens of thousands of porn domains) resolve to a local sinkhole in every browser,
no add-ons needed.
Local DNS filter — catches whole domain families and your custom
keywords ("block any domain containing …").
Real block page, even on HTTPS — a local certificate authority (installed at
setup, removable any time) shows your own "why I quit" message instead of a connection error,
and logs which browser the attempt came from.
Tamper watchdog — hosts-file edits are auto-restored; service shutdowns,
Tor launches, and config edits alert your buddy.
Streak tracking — clean days count up; a relapse attempt resets them.
Premium never touches enforcement. A missing or expired license can only stop you
from adding premium configuration — it never unblocks anything. There is no way to buy,
cancel, or expire your way past a block.
Pricing
Premium is a subscription. Pay with card via Stripe; you'll get a license key on the
confirmation page, and the app renews it automatically.
