Unblock Websites Blocked by Recent Delhi High Court Order

The Delhi High Court ordered the blocking of 219 websites which could be used to stream Fifa World Cup matches illegally. Order was passed on the basis of  Sony  who  owned Multi Screen Media (MSM), which has exclusive rights to broadcast the Fifa World Cup 2014 in India.

The original list of 472 websites to be blocked included some strange entries like Google Docs, but the order was then amended and the list brought down to 219; however,there are still some website which has nothing to do with World Cup

Let have a Trick to Unblock these website using DNS change

Change the DNS

If the URL change doesn't work, then you might want to try changing the domain name server to Google DNS or OpenDNS. Most people have reported that this method works on BSNL for them. I am going to describe the step by step for diffrent device. If you are quite smart and techi you can also change your DNS setting of MODEM also so that you need to change it on every device.

For Windows Vista, 7 or 8 users

1) For Windows Vista and 7,
click Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center.

 If you're using Windows 8, hit Windows key + C > click Search on the right-hand side > type Control Panel in the search bar > select Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center.

2) Click Change adapter settings, which is on the left sidebar.

3) Right-click the Internet connection on which you're having trouble accessing websites, and click Properties.

4) Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IP), and then click Properties.

5) Click the radio button next to Use the following DNS Server addresses. If you want to use Google DNS, enter 8.8.8.8 as the Preferred DNS Server and 8.8.4.4 as the Alternate DNS Server. If you want to use OpenDNS, use 202.67.220.220 and 202.67.222.222 respectively. After entering these, click OK.

For Windows XP user.

1) Click Start > Control Panel > Network Connections.

2) Now select your specific Internet connection with access problems, right-click, then select Properties.

3) Left-click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), and select Properties.

4) Follow the instructions in Step 5 above.

Apple  iOS device that's connected to a Wi-Fi network.

1) Open Settings > tap Wi-Fi > tap the Wi-Fi network the device is connected to.

2) Tap DNS and change the two values to Google DNS or Open DNS (explained in step 5 above). These two values should be separated with a comma and one space (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4).

For Android users

1) Open Settings > tap Wi-Fi.

2) Long press the Wi-Fi network you're connected to > tap Modify Network.

3) Now tap the box next to Show advanced options. Scroll down.

4) Tap DHCP > select Static IP > scroll down and modify DNS 1 and DNS 2 (as explained in step 5 above).

On BlackBerry 10

1) Settings > Network and Connections > tap Wi-Fi. Now connect to a Wi-Fi network.

2) Long-press the connection you're connected to > tap Edit.

3) Scroll down and turn off Auto Obtain IP. After you do this, you'll see more options, such as the IP address, DNS and gateway. Switch to OpenDNS or Google DNS here (as explained in step 5 above).

Unfortunately, Windows Phone 8 doesn't support changing DNS manually.

Try a Proxy
If changing the DNS does not work, you should try a Web proxy to open blocked websites. These websites simply route you through servers based in other countries, which means that you can access websites that aren't blocked in those countries.

Kproxy,Hidemyass and NewIPNow are  such websites. Just enter the name of the blocked website in the form and click enter. On the Hidemyass website, the free proxy is at the very bottom of the page, .
