My ISP blocked a website, but I can still access by modifying host file (please read more)?
entering the website’s direct IP or domain name to the address bar wouldn’t help. it appears to be blocked. then I called my ISP, they said this website is blocked becoz of company policies.
but I open the hosts file, enter the websites direct ip and then enter an “artificial” domain name I made up to map into that particular IP I wish to visit.
wolla, the website appears to be unblocked, everytime I enter the artificial domain name I made up, the machine obviously search the hosts file first, once it found out the particular IP mapped into the domain name I made up, it go directly to the IP and stop contacting my ISP’s DNS server? does that mean the blockade of this website is ONLY established at the DNS level? is that the reason why?
and why if this ISP wants to block this website, it didn’t block the whole IP and allow this low level “hack” available?
You are most likely correct, they likely only blocked the site in DNS. I would suggest you begin sending refund demands to your ISP as you presumably purchased access to the entire Internet, not those sites they choose to give you access to. If their policy is not to provide access to the Internet, they shouldn’t sell Internet access. And if you buy Internet access and they don’t give it to you, they have to give you your money back.
