I wanna prank a friend by blocking a few sites like Facebook for him.

Just edit his hosts file
Google 'Hosts file prank' or if you're lazy here is a decent tutorial (http://www.se7ensins.com/forums/thre...l-prank.73553/)

Other than that I don't know how you would block a site, or even with VB

I have not heard of this before sorry, but if you find a way please private message me with the tutorial thanks

Like tynted already said, hosts file is the way to go here. You could program a program to edit your hosts file for you, but that seems a little bit over-doing it.

Yep, programs like Fiddler can your connections 'auto respond' which basically means if I go to google.com, it could send me anywhere else I choose.
But it would be pretty obvious with Fiddler running in the background :\


I also just thought of something else.

Would require you to be on his network, and it not being very secure.
You would have to do a MITM attack to redirect his connections being made to where you want them.

I wouldn't recommend this though, it's pretty complicated, considering you asked this question :P
