| Jan 26, 2016 at 9:58 | comment | added | TheHidden | @HamZa I was simply trying to explain it in simple terms by giving an analogy I was not trying to cause confusion to this level. | |

| Jan 26, 2016 at 9:55 | comment | added | TheHidden | @HamZa no im not, its quite common over here in england we have alot of blocked websites... change my dns to 8.8.8.8 and boom access to blocked websites | |
| Jan 26, 2016 at 9:37 | comment | added | HamZa | I think you're confusing "DNS" with "proxy". | |
| Jan 26, 2016 at 9:33 | comment | added | TheHidden | @HamZa yea sorry im trying to explain the best way I can but the DNS allows you to bypass rules implaced by an ISP and also allows you to access content based in the country of the DNS (its a common trick to get around netflix etcetc) | |
