A user is experiencing difficulty blocking the website "tankionline.com" on a Mac system, despite following instructions from a guide to block websites in Safari. The user has attempted to flush the DNS and restart the computer without success.

Additionally, content-control software and services like OpenDNS are recommended as alternative methods for blocking websites effectively.

Hi,
I don't know where to ask this question so I decide to ask it here. I search all over the web and cannot find the solution.

Thank you very much for any help and suggestion.

the hosts file should do the trick but if that isn't working then perhaps you can make an entry on your firewall's outbound filter and block that address?
