A laudable goal that's very important. I'm not aware of any service but, like a number of people suggested, if you make it inconvenient enough to visit these sites it could very well curb your addiction each time you're tempted. I've found anything over a couple of minutes to by pass is enough to sour me on the idea of it

Someone suggested router changes to block them, I'd like to add to that, if your router supports it, setting specific hours of the day these sites are able to be used might be enough.

You could still password protect the router interface and make that inconvenient to get at in some way also.

Oh, I hadn't heard of that. Of course that makes perfect sense though.

I can really depend on how the hose can be situated. Oftentimes the hose runs into a cabinet next to it and into the sink drain. Frequently just adjusting that under the sink is enough.

Also the hoses are intentionally too long so you can attach the hose before putting the washer under the cabinet. Making sure to take up the slack is the important part

But sometimes yeah you can't and just have to replace the hose every once and a while. If you use the washer frequently enough, like at least once a week it should be fine for years

Oh oh, finally something I can comment on!

I've replaced a number of dishwashers and in every case like this the drain hose, under the dishwasher, had a low spot where water then mold collected.

It's usually pretty easy to check. Most dishwashers are secured with a couple of screws to the counter top or sides. Once those are removed it should be easy to slide it out. Probably best to look up a YT video on it. But if that's the problem the drain hose is a dime a dozen, don't try and clean it. You'll know if it's the source of the smell pretty quickly.

If you zoom in the middle it looks like the Empire State building and the Chrysler building so I'd venture New York.
