Preventing users from entering URLs manually in the address bar is not possible in WordPress, or from any site, for that matter. It can only be done via a browser plugin.

However, redirecting users or displaying a 404 page for a certain URL is easy to do and there are several WordPress plugins for blocking admin access. One example:
