In Windows 8 and 10, you’ll need to add the “hosts” file to the Windows Defender exclusions list. In these versions, Windows Defender will automatically revert your “hosts” files when it detects changes. Open the Windows Defender utility (search for it on the Start screen or menu), select “Settings”, and find the “Exclusions” section. Add your “hosts” file to the exclusions (see the location in Step 5), but be aware that this leaves you a little more vulnerable to adware. [1] X Research source

You can access your router by typing the router’s address into a networked computer’s web browser. Most routers use 192. 168. 1. 1 for their address, but some use 192. 168. 0. 1 or 192. 168. 2. 1. Refer to your router’s documentation if you can’t figure out the address. You’ll need to log in with your router’s administrator account. Different routers have different default accounts, so refer to your documentation or look the model up online to find the default admin account.
