Google is blocked in some countries. However, there are many ways to access Google, like VPN, agent, and by changing the hosts file.
If I want to change the hosts f
nslookup google.com
is the easiest way. Works on Linux and Windows.
If your issue is that your DNS server is not returning a response for google.com, use a different DNS server, such as a public one. For instance, you could do:
nslookup
>server 8.8.8.8
>google.com
For a more thorough solution to getting around annoying Internet filters, look into using Tor.
On Windows, open command prompt and type tracert google.com
and press enter, or on Linux, open terminal and type nslookup google.com
and press enter:
