HOW TO BLOCK SOFTWARES FROM ACCESSING THE INTERNET ON YOUR PC

Hi guys! 

In today's article I'd be sharing with you; How to block softwares from accessing the internet (Deny Internet Connection).



I know it's sounds weird ("like why would I want to do that?" Trust me, it's needed at some point (couple of friends reached out asking this and I also do it--when I have low data balance and need to avoid softwares that would download update automatically or maybe I'm busing and I don't want distractions from several softwares)

(Okay! Let's jump right into it!) Cool stuff, you don't even need a third-party software.

Follow the steps below to block software, (I'm running on Windows 10 here but you could follow same process for other window versions);

1.  Open/Click "Start Menu" and search "firewall"
2.  Select "Window Defender Firewall"
3.  Select "Advanced settings" from the left corner

4. Select "Inbound Rule" from the left corner and "New Rule" from the "Actions Tab" at the right corner.

5. From "New Inbound Rule Wizard" Select "Program"
6. Browse the software - make sure to select the executable/application file (.exe)

7. After selecting "Next" Select "Block the connection" and select "Next"

8. On the next page make sure all options are checked (Domain, Private & Public) and select "Next"
9. Enter Name and Description (optional)


You are done but you have to do same for "Outbound Rules"

1. Select "Outbound Rule" from the left corner and "New Rule" from the "Actions Tab" at the right corner.
2. From "New Outbound Rule Wizard" Select "Program"
3. Browse the software - make sure to select the executable/application file (.exe)

4. After selecting "Next" Select "Block the connection" and select "Next"

4. On the next page make sure all options are checked (Domain, Private & Public) and select "Next"
5. Enter Name and Description (optional)

HOW TO PARTITION YOUR HARD DRIVE/DISK (Windows-based)

Hi guys! Today We'll be talking about one of the powerful and useful features of Windows, PARTITION. 

Today I'll explain and walk you through

• what partitioning is
• why you should partition your disk/drive
• how you can partition your disk/drive with an inbuilt Windows tool, NO THIRD PARTY APPLICATION is required. 

What's Partition/Partitioning?

It's an act or result of dividing into parts (partitions); an arrangement of partitions.

More explicitly, it involves diving your computer's hard disk or drive into two or more unique parts (more like dividing an office space for two individuals, clear?)

Disk partitioning is also called Disk slicing.

Click here to read more.

Why partition?

As explained above, Partitions enable users to divide a physical disk into logical sections. So, partitioning your disk comes with a lot of merits (over demerits). 

Below are a few;

1. Allowing multiple operating systems to run on the same device (Linux, Windows...) or multiple versions of an OS (say, Windows 7, 8, 10, 11) on the same device.

2. Speed: Keeping your Windows system files separate from personal files makes it easy to perform operations on Windows itself.

3. Reinstallation Ease: It's a lot easier to reinstall Windows when it's on a separate partition. All you have to do is format your Windows partition and reinstall the OS. Your installed programs and files will stay where you left them.

4. Multiple files systems: If you own a Windows-based PC and a Mac-based PC but you've got only one drive (most likely, external), you could partition your drive into two parts; one in NFTS (file system) - which is readable and writable for Windows and the other as APFS - which is compatible with Mac OS (FAT32 and exFAT are compatible for both Windows and Mac OS).

5. Other benefits include simpler backups and improved security among others.

HOW TO PARTITION YOUR DRIVE

1. Open Disk Management  - you could search "Disk Manager" in the search bar and select “create and format hard disk partitions” 

2 Hopefully you would have no partitions yet (unlike the image below, SAFE is a partition). Find your C drive and left-click on it then, select “Shrink Volume”

 3. On the next page, some space will be allocated for the NEW VOLUME/PARTITION however, you could enter your desired amount of space for the partition to be made, I created 199MB (or 200MB if you will) for this tutorial.

4. After the window closes, find the volume labeled “Unallocated”, left-click on and select “New Simple Volume”

5. "New Volume Wizard" opens up to guide you through the process 

6. On the page shown above; it is advisable to select “format the volume….”, select “Perform a quick format”, Choose an appropriate File system and Label the volume (though you could rename the volume after the process) 

On completing the process, your new partition should be up as shown below;

How To Unlock/Bypass CM Locker And Other Lockers (Apk)

Have you forgotten your password?
Have you tried, and tried and tried?
Did someone tried to unlock your android and ended up locking it?
Do you really need that android back without been erased/wiped?

What if i tell you that there is a solution without wiping your phone.

 stay calm!........and read this article!!!

Recently, i wrote an article about "Safe mode", if you haven't read that, then you really should do that now before this tutorial!

I guess you've read that now!

Today, I'll be sharing an important function of safe mode, that is, how to bypass/unlock Cm locker and other lockers via safe mode!

Now lets go through the steps:

1. Boot your locked device into safe mode......click here to learn how to do this!
2. Get to "settings":
Once your device is in safe mode, the lock won't show up. But in some cases(androids) it might, if it does then you won't be able to draw any pattern or input any pin/password. All you need to do is to find a way to get to  "settings"; In most android you might just slide the notification panel down and click "settings"
3. Go to "Applications/Apps"

The "Application/Apps" (some androids have applications, while  some have "Apps". Any one you find) gives you access to all applications installed on your device.
4. Find the Locker (Cm Locker in this tutorial):

When you see the locker, click on it, then click on uninstall: to remove the apk or "Clear Data": to remove the locker's files(pin/pattern/password) and keep the apk.
4. Turn off system
As you know that a simple reboot will turn off safe mode

After restart, lock is gone

Note: This trick does not work for phone lock (Phone/System Security). Only for installed lockers like Cm locker, AppLock and many more!

How To Boot An Android Device Into Safe Mode

I want to use this medium to say "Happy New Month & Happy Independence Day To My Fellow Nigerians!"


Today's article teaches you about safe mood and how you can boot your android into safe mode.
I'm sure you've heard about "Safe Mode" before! and if you haven't, you are in the best place to learn about what its means!

So, What is "Safe Mode"?

Safe Mode is a tool for troubleshooting: When you boot your device into safe mood all third-party  applications installed won't run on the device, that is, all downloaded apps won't run, only the system apps will run.

Safe mode can help you to track down the causes of problems you may be having with your device. If your android device is overheating, drains battery quickly, slow or not performing operations properly— and do not exhibit these troubles  while in safe mode—then you know that an application you installed is the cause.


The process for booting your phone into Safe mode can vary a little between different Android devices.

Here’s how to do it.

1. Press and hold the Power button.
2.Tap and hold Power off.
3. When the Reboot to safe mode prompt appears, tap OK.


Your device will then restart and it will say “Safe mode” in the bottom-left corner. This method works for LG, HTC, Sony, Techno, Infinix, Samsung, Gionee, Itiel, Lenovo, and many other Android phones.
