Hi all

I have blocked porn etc on my iPhone 6 using the block facility available through my network provider (giffgaff). Can I also block a specific website - namely Twitter? Apparently I can install a "custom HOSTS file" but have no idea how to do this. Am using Ios 8.3. Any ideas gratefully received, as always.

Check this out, shows how to block adult content OR specific websites:

So, without linking to a minute long video with an ad, that could have been easily summarized by saying check out the options available at Settings > General > Restrictions > Websites

Having said that, it also doesn't seem like it allows you to block specific web sites, does it?
