I recently had to switch over to NBN (with telstra). After doing so I realised i couldn't access blocked sites even after using the methods explained here https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/426804. Is there any way i can get this to work again?
NBN Was Recently Installed, Changing The DNS Servers Still Won't Let Me Access Blocked Sites

nah from the computer. Cant change it from the router, telstra isnt letting me
If you can't change DNS from the router itself, you'll have to manually change the DNS settings on each client/machine.
Once you change DNS on the pc, go into command prompt and type in
ipconfig /flushdns
Did that but no dice
EDit: Somehow i worked after the 5th try
@Sergeant Salami: Telstra lock the modem with their own DNS. To get around it you can select no DNS and then when you assign them on the device it'll work.
@o53djz7qTPY4der: Any idea how to do that? tried to search in the Gateway(?) outer settings, but can't seem to find it.
@Krad3r: I can't remember, I'll fire up my Gateway tonight to look. I am with iinet now but have kept the telstra router. It's in a box somewhere. It is definitely possible though because I remember it causing problems with my VPN and DNS leaks and that was my work-around.
Telstra lock the modem with their own DNS.
If it's a Telstra device it's a probably half decent device that Telstra has made into a shit potatoe with their own firmware.
If on desktop Windows, try use DNS Jumper app.

PC restart may be required.
- Change both DNS in router
- Reboot router
- Flush DNS cache on your device
That should do it.
Dont think i can change the dns from the router, and changing it from the pc isnt working.
What do you want to watch?
That would be HC, but im talking about Cantonese dramas from Hong Kong.
Same thing happened to me.
I just downloaded Opera and activated the built in browser VPN, that let me access what I wanted
what 'blocked sites" are you trying to access?
vpn maybe?
Yeah i got a vpn, just that changing the DNS didnt affect streaming speed
you got a link for those cantonese dramas?
my mrs is from guangzhou she loves that shit
Yes please share, my old folks would love it
Telstra lock down DNS changes? I wonder how long it will be before Telstra start trapping and redirecting all traffic on port 53 (DNS) to their own DNS IP?
Your can try an alternative router interface after you hack the firmware, if it is one of the hacked models.
Opera vpn for torrents.
Proper VPN for streaming.
Are you changing both DNS servers from your router?
