Until you find something better, just mess with the HOSTS file. Works great if the person you're blocking isn't some kind of 😉Windows
wizard.

Well, pretty much any kind of Parental Controls should do the trick.
Maybe try searching Google for "Blue Coat K9" web protection freeware.

expert, they won't notice.
It's the quickest fix, and there's basically zero chance they'll realize Facebook is blocked that way. I had a buddy who actually wiped his entire hard drive because he couldn't get onto Facebook after I blocked it using that method 😁.
