How to Override Website Restrictions Using DNS > 자유게시판

If your institution, employer, or local authority restricts access to certain sites it's often because of DNS-based content restrictions. DNS is the internet’s naming protocol and it acts like a phonebook for the internet, translating website names like youtube.com into network locations that your computer can understand. If content is restricted it’s usually because the DNS server you’re using has been programmed to refuse lookup requests for that address.

To bypass these blockages you can change your device’s DNS settings to use a public DNS server that doesn’t enforce the same filters. Popular options include Google DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 or 1.1.1.1 and jun88 đăng nhập 1.0.0.1 from Cloudflare. These resolvers prioritize speed and impartiality and they typically don’t block websites based on location or policy.

In Windows 10 you can change your DNS settings by navigating to Settings > Network & Internet, selecting your active connection, clicking Properties, then editing the IPv4 settings. There you can manually enter the new DNS addresses. On Apple devices go to System Preferences, Network, choose your active interface, click More Settings, then DNS, and add the new servers. On mobile devices like Android or iPhone you’ll find DNS options under Wi-Fi settings by tapping the network you're connected to.

Once you’ve updated your DNS settings restart your browser or device to make sure the changes take effect. You’ll likely gain access to sites that were previously blocked. Note that changing DNS won’t hide your identity or protect your data in transit. For stronger privacy consider using a Virtual Private Network with DNS switching.

This method won’t work for every restriction because certain systems employ advanced censorship techniques like IP address blacklisting or DPI-based filtering. For most everyday restrictions switching to a third-party DNS provider is a simple, effective, and free solution. Verify that your actions align with workplace or school guidelines when making these changes.
