If you know the website domain and the corresponding IP address and if your ISP prevents you from accessing this website by timing out or tampering DNS query results you can always put the entry like 192.168.10.20 www.domain.tld. to your hosts file and access the site. This technique is also in use when someone needs to access the site which is on a not delegated domains. -- Yours sincerely, Andrey G.
