That should work, but anyone else who logs in will also see that the DNS IP has been removed.

Question

While attempting method 3, I was saving the newly altered host file but instead of making the changes it is making me save a new file, should I be worried about this? It is also telling me that if I saved, it would be saved as a text file rather than just "file," which is the original file type. What can I do?

Community Answer

Since this is a Windows system file, it won't let you overwrite it so easily. You can do one of these two options: 1) Save it to your desktop and then drag and drop it into the folder. At that point it'll ask extra security questions to make sure you want to do it. 2) After you open the file in notepad, delete the one that's in there. Then save the one that's in notepad.

Question

If I use a VPN from the app store, will my parents be able to track what websites I visit?

Community Answer

No. A VPN encrypts your data, so this shouldn't be a risk for you.

Question

What can I do if my router has been configured to block all DNS requests except OpenDNS on Port 53?

Community Answer

Live life without accessing the blocked websites. If someone has blocked this, they likely have blocked all other open avenues as well.

Question

Would using Method 1 affect the home's internet as a whole or just how it's used on that particular computer?

Community Answer

Just the one computer will be affected by this method. You would have to sign into the router and remove the entire DNS for the home internet as a whole to be affected.

Question

What do I do if both proxy and VPN websites are blocked on my computer?

Community Answer

If the VPN and proxy sites are blocked, then try to download a VPN extension from the Chrome web store. Make sure you don't need to sign up to use it because the sign up page is probably blocked.
