| Accessing a blocked torrent site Internet service providers can use DNS blocking, IP address blocking, URL blocking or any other technical method to block access to the torrent websites. DNS-level blocks are extremely easy to bypass. All you need to do is go into your network settings and change your DNS server address. Changing the DNS server address will mean you are no longer using the DNS server of your Internet Service Provider where the torrent site is blocked, but a different DNS server without the block on the torrent site. What is DNS? The Domain Name System (DNS) underpins the web we use every day. It works transparently in the background, converting human-readable website names into computer-readable numerical IP addresses. DNS does this by looking up that information on a system of linked DNS servers across the internet. Domain names are the human-readable website addresses we use every day. For example, Google’s domain name is google.com. If you want to visit Google, you just need to enter google.com into your web browser’s address bar. However, your computer doesn’t understand where “google.com” is. Behind the scenes, the Internet and other networks use numerical IP addresses. One of the IP addresses used by Google.com is 172.217.0.142. If you typed this number into your web browser’s address bar, you’d also end up at Google’s website. We use google.com instead of 172.217.0.142 because addresses like google.com are more meaningful and easier for us to remember. IP addresses are also known to change, but the DNS servers keep up with that new information. DNS is often explained as being like a phone book, where you look up someone’s name and the book gives you their phone number. Like a phone book, DNS matches human-readable names to numbers that machines can more easily understand.  How to change DNS server on your pc How to change DNS Server in Windows 7/8/8.1/10 You can change the DNS server in the “Change Adapter Options”. How to access this option differs on the various Windows versions. Accessing the “Change Adapter Settings' in Windows 7 Step 1: Go to the Start Menu and click on “Control Panel”.

| Free Public Secure DNS servers Comodo Secure DNS  Free for: Personal use only DNS Addresses: 8.26.56.26 and 8.20.247.20 Comodo Secure DNS offers a simple free service for personal use. It is preconfigured to block harmful websites, such as those containing malware, spyware and phishing attempts. Additionally, it claims to offer a more reliable, faster and smarter DNS service than those provided by most ISPs. Like Dyn, Comodo also sells services that include authoritative DNS services for websites and many other security solutions, such as SSL certificates, secure email services, antivirus and even PCI compliance services.  When a site is blocked by Comodo Secure DNS, a warning page is displayed. It shows the reason why the page is blocked and allows the user to disregard and continue to the blocked site anyway. When a user continues to a blocked site, he or she can choose how long to allow access to the site. In the case of nonexistent or unresponsive domains, users see a page called Comodo Secure DNS Search. Suggested search terms or phrases are displayed based upon the domain they're trying to visit, in addition to a search field. One big downside of the search: Although the site says the results are powered by Yahoo, only sponsored links are given and are not true search results. Currently in beta: Comodo SecureDNS 2.0. It offers customizable content filtering and is also being marketing towards businesses. Dyn Internet Guide  Free for: Personal or business use DNS Addresses: 216.146.35.35 and 216.146.36.36 Dyn Internet Guide is a free service offered to the general public for personal or commercial use. Its basic preconfigured service automatically blocks malware and phishing sites, and offers typo correction. Dyn also offers authoritative DNS services: hostnames for remote access and full DNS solutions for websites.  In addition, Dyn offers customizable content filtering if you create an account. You can block up to 30 pre-defined content categories and create custom white- and blacklists. Although it offers an Internet Guide subscription the company says is free, to use it you must sign up for Dyn's separate, fee-based Remote Access (DynDNS) service. When a user tries to visit a site that's been blocked by the content filtering settings of Internet Guide, an alert page is shown citing the reason why the page is blocked. When a site is detected as malware or phishing via the Internet Guide's automatic protection, the user is allowed to bypass and continue to the site -- unless that particular site or content category has been explicitly blocked via Internet Guide's settings. For nonexistent or unresponsive domains, users by default see the Internet Guide showing search results related to the non-working domain with a Google-like look and feel. If you create a free or premium account, you can optionally disable this Internet Guide feature. GreenTeam Internet  Free for: Personal or commercial use DNS Addresses: 81.218.119.11 and 209.88.198.133 GreenTeam Internet provides both free and premium services for homes and small businesses. Its free preconfigured service automatically blocks malware and phishing sites, advertisements and adult-related content, including aggressive, violent and drug-related sites.  When you create a free account you can customize the content filtering by choosing among three predefined protection levels and 47 predefined categories, and you can create custom whitelists and blacklists. Paid accounts, according to the company, provide "more control, further customization and a wider protection." When a site is blocked, the user is notified and told which category the site is classified as. On the blocked page, the user can report the page or send an email to GreenTeam asking to unblock it. Users can also enter their email to be notified if the page becomes unblocked. When using a free or premium account, the local network administrator can also include a customized message on the blocked page. GreenTeam Internet doesn't provide a landing page for nonexistent or unresponsive domains, allowing the Web browser to display its default error page in those instances. Norton ConnectSafe  Free for: Personal use DNS Addresses: Vary based upon desired protection Norton ConnectSafe provides three preconfigured DNS servers, free for personal use with no account needed:  There is also a business service that requires a paid subscription and that offers the same first two levels (via different DNS addresses); the third level blocks P2P file sharing instead of other mature content. When they hit a blocked site, users see a page saying it's blocked and why, and there's a link to email Norton to dispute its blocking. There are no third-party ads on the page, but an ad for Norton products does appear. The page shown for nonexistent or unresponsive domains doesn't contain advertisements, but offers a search field that will display results powered by Ask.com if the user decides to perform a search. OpenDNS  Free for: Personal or business use for Enhanced DNS; personal use only for other home and family services DNS addresses: 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 "FamilyShield" DNS addresses: 208.67.222.123 and 208.67.220.123) OpenDNS is one of the most popular third-party DNS providers around, offering both free and premium services for homes and businesses. Its most basic free service is called Enhanced DNS, which is provided via the company's main DNS addresses and is preconfigured to block malware and phishing sites.  OpenDNS also offers different service options for personal home use: When a webpage is blocked, users see a simple page saying it's blocked and why. Network administrators who are using a free or paid account can add a note and contact form to the page so the user can request the website be unblocked. When using the Umbrella services on a business network, administrators can enter bypass codes to instantly unblock websites. Similar functionality is available when using the OpenDNS home services on a Netgear router (according to Netgear, most of its newer routers support it) with Netgear's Live Parental Controls. Users who try to access a nonexistent or unresponsive domain will see the browser's default error page. OpenDNS' free services used to have advertisements on this page, which OpenDNS called the Internet Guide. However, as of June 2014, all advertisements have been removed. OpenNIC  If you are someone who is very much concerned about your privacy, OpenNIC is the DNS server for you. Using OpenNIC DNS servers, you get faster browsing experience. But what makes these DNS servers stand out is the fact that they give high priority to users’ privacy. You can protect your data even from the government using OpenNIC DNS servers. Following details can be used to setup OpenNIC as your DNS server: Preferred DNS Server: 46.151.208.154 Alternate DNS Server: 128.199.248.105 DNS.Watch  DNS.Watch is very famous for its policies of No Censorship.
