Last month, Malaysia has instructed all the ISP to block some file sharing website. Some of the sites are : www.thepiratebay.org filestube.com duckload.com megaupload.com and many others. Most ISP block it inside their DNS server. Users just change to a new DNS server and will be able to access all those sites.
What is DNS Server? DNS is Domain Name Server. Devices connect to each other using IPV4 address on the internet. Like : 206.678.1.5 or 235.456.23.5
when you key in an address on your browser like www.yahoo.com, the computer will ask the DNS server for the IPV4 address of www.yahoo.com. And the DNS server will reply something like 243.326.345.6
Just change the DNS Server to google DNS server and you can bypass all your ISP blocking.
In Windows XP:
Control Panel -> Network Connection -> Local Area Network (Or Wireless Network) -> click on TCP / IP -> Properties
change your DNS server to 8.8.8.8 and secondary 8.8.4.4
In Windows 7 :
Control Panel -> Network And Internet -> Network And Sharing Center ->Manage Network Connection
Right click on your connection and select Properties. Click On TCP/IPV4 and select Properties
change your DNS server to 8.8.8.8 and secondary 8.8.4.4
In Linux :
edit the file /etc/resolv.conf
