How to unblock the Sites, If your school uses Linux Edubuntu - Clones - 11-11-2011
UNBLOCK SITES IN SCHOOL!
I am going to show you guys how to unblock the sites in school if they are blocked by the admin. I will do that in 6 easy steps.
Step 1: Login in with your admin account
Step 2: Go in Applications, Accessories and Terminal.
Step 3: Write sudo -i
Then it will ask you for your password.
Step 4: Write: nano /etc/resolv.conf
Then delete all the text.
Step 5: Write: nameserver 8.8.8.8 Then press enter and under it write: nameserver 8.8.4.4
Step 6: Press Ctrl+X And then press Enter
Then you can close the Terminal and the sites which were blocked now they will be unblocked.

So changing your DNS to use Google's DNS servers will unblock any website will it? :facepalm

In some cases it may. If they're using a custom DNS server to block particular domains, then yeah, more than possible this can work sometimes.

I'm still wondering why I've been given an admin account.

Didn't I give this tutorial on changing DNS in linux almost a year ago?

That you did, but doing it this way removes website blocks
