When a Domain is Blocked by Filtering Software
Posted on August 10th, 2010 by Paul
Can’t access your favorite websites because some stupid ISP or access point is using DNS-level filtering?
Set your DNS to use Google’s DNS:
8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
Then flush the existing DNS cache and register the new DNS.
In Windows 7, you’ll need elevated privileges to changes to the DNS. Make sure you start cmd.exe as Administrator.
- Press the window Key
- Type “cmd”
- Right click the cmd.exe that’s found.
- Select “Run as administrator”
- Type
ipconfig /flushdns - Then type
ipconfig /registerdns
Now you’re free to roam the internet.
