How to UnBlock websites

[DELETE THIS ACC PLS]

Hello guys,

 

Few days ago i had a HUGE problem .. Waited few days but couldn't solve it so .. I need someone to help me out.

I tried to open Google but it didn't open ...   But when i went to Google Drive (Something like Dropbox)  It worked fine .. (Google play too)

I tried Facebook and it didn't open .. Yahoo too .. Paypal and Ebay and many many other sites didn't open till now ..

I know a lot will tell me to use proxies or vpn's but i want to know why this happened .. Is there's a file on my computer preventing them from opening? 

 

Please reply ASAP.

Cheers,

Hadzy Hayman

Well what are you gonna do? try erasing all the browser history and cache maybe ?  idk , looks odd.. try another browser and see if the problem persists.

I once had a problem like this after editing my /etc/hosts file. Any chance you (or a program) changed it?

Try using OpenDNS. It look like DNS faliure.

Can you tell me what to add/remove? I've seen an article on the net to scan that folder.

Oh you have same modem (or near) as me!

1. Goto- http://192.168.1.1

2. Then goto "Advanced Setup" from menu at left.

3. Next click DNS.

4. Select option- "Use the following Static DNS IP address:"

5. At Primary DNS server, enter- "208.67.222.222"

6. At Secondary DNS server, enter- "208.67.220.220"

7. Finally click "Apply/Save" button.

8. Now restart your modem.

 

By doing this you would successfully have OpenDNS as default DNS manager.
