Unblock Torrent sites using hosts file

[UpGrade]

Hi i found this proxy site:

http://unblocksit.es

this lets you unblock pretty much any torrent site and more that your isp has blocked you from accessing.

I have a problem though it works perfect when using the website but when i enter the lines into the hosts file it doesn't work id rather do it this way so please can someone help me.

for example i got to:

http://unblocksit.es/unblock/yify-torrents.com/

then enter:

46.41.129.5 yify-torrents.com
83.222.233.143 ads.lfstmedia.com
46.183.221.139 static.yify-torrents.com
31.13.64.48 www.facebook.com

109.163.230.151 publichd.se
72.21.215.52 www.imdb.com

into the hosts file then save it but its still blocked by isp can anyone help me ?

can you ping 46.41.129.5?

if cannot, i don't think add that line into hosts file would help

Hi,

I think you have to clean your DNS cache first.

To do so, type Win + Q (or Win + R if you are not on Windows 8+), then enter "cmd" en validate.

In the opened window, type :

ipconfig /flushdns

Then try again to connect to your site.

It's working like that : to speed up the connection to any servers, the system reads the host file first then caches any adresses that correspond to the IP. Usually there's nothing there but localhost, so it will do a DNS request to the DNS server to know what's the IP for the server you try to join (in the browser you typed the hostname). Once the DNS server respond, it correlate the hostname you entered with the IP the DNS server gave, so that the system won't have to make a DNS request all the time, and stock all of them in the DNS cache (it's automatically flushed periodically).

When you edit your host file the system will always take the IP written down there and won't do any DNS request for that hostname. So if there a filter in the DNS server of your ISP it will bypass it.
