Alternative DNS servers, Unblock Websites in Malaysia

Can’t access a number of websites in Malaysia? It is because the Internet service providers like TM (Streamyx/Unifi), Maxis, Celcom, Digi, U Mobile, Time are blocking those websites via something called DNS.

Domain Name Servers (DNS) are the Internet’s equivalent of a phone book. They maintain a directory of domain names and translate them to Internet Protocol (IP) addresses.

By changing the DNS settings on your PC/computer, you could unblock and visit all the websites on the Internet.
