If you’re not quite ready for a full Reddit fast but you’d like to at least keep it shut off while you’re trying to focus on work, you can easily modify the scheduling component to, say, restrict access between 8AM and 5PM on the weekdays.

If you don’t have Tomato installed on your router check out our guide to installing Tomato here. The steps we’re taking are largely equivalent to the DD-WRT system (you can read about selective domain blocking for DD-WRT here).
We’re going to go through the tutorial as using a Linksys router running Tomato custom firmware. Before proceed make sure you have the following things: For this tutorial you’ll won’t need much and you won’t have to spend a dime.
