what to do for blocking subdomain?
lets say i am home and want to block website subdomain from being accessed? like website.com would be fine but i want to block website.com/subdomain from being accessed on my browser. is that still impossible? i dont want to use 3rd party software, but if i must then it shall be.

, website.com/subdomain it’s not a subdomain of website.com. That’s just a folder inside the root of website.com (called subdomain).
A subdomain would be something like mail.website.com, and this you also may block\redirect through the hosts file.
Just a particular page or folder on the web server (like website.com/aaa/, you just can’t block through this process.

I’m a fan of ESET’s solutions, so I will use ESET Smart Security as the example (although there are innumerous firewalls that include this functionality). For Smart Security you may find here instructions:
Instead of www.example.com, just create a rule to block the url www.hbo.com/sports/ and www.hbo.com/sports/* if you wish to block all pages\folders under the folder sports.
