How To Bypass Blocked Websites By Internet Service Providers!

So one day a friend told me that he couldn't get through some sensitive websites, and he seem to be blocked by his ISP DNS filter. Having the same issue on my computer few years back, I have the exact solution for him which might in turns be useful for all my readers.

"DNS" or domain name server acts like a storage and verification center which stores details of websites. When a user enters an URL on browser, it is then sent to the DNS server to be checked for avaibility; if it is, then website is fetched back to the browser. So this DNS, the middleman might block anything found offensive or sensitive.
