Ever since Malaysia Internet Service Providers (ISPs) been forcefully asked to block access to certain sites on the internet, there had been numerous rants of dissatisfaction amongst the locals. Be it from a wired or wireless internet users (and there still is).
I personally think this violates the freedom of the Internet. However I understand the pressure which has been put to SKMM (which I will elaborate no further here). But being us, creative Malaysian, and with good friends that we have all around the world, such as Anonymous (not that I knew them because they all wear masks!). Here’s a guide on how you can access those blocked websites via your mobile internet, on your Android phones.
It’s simple. And let me show you how…
First, yes of course, the ingredients needed to make this work.
You need SL4A apk, download it from > HERE < and choose sl4a_r4.apk
Next, install it on your Android device. Run it once, and then exit. Download the script file from my dropbox account > HERE < (There is no need to have a dropbox account to download, however, if you want one, please register via my link > HERE < and both of us may get extra space! Sharing is caring ) and save it to /sdcard/sl4a/scripts/
Now that you have the script in place, open SL4A again and you should see ‘change-dns.sh’ listed. Click on it once, and select the second icon (gear).
You should receive 4 requests from SL4a for ROOT access. Allow all of these and the application should end (and appears to do nothing). Exit, open your browser, and try access the sites which was previously blocked…
And there you have it, sites which have been previously blocked are now accessible. How? By changing your DNS. Here’s what inside the script :
su -c "setprop net.rmnet0.dns1 8.8.8.8" su -c "setprop net.rmnet0.dns2 8.8.4.4" su -c "setprop net.dns1 8.8.8.8" su -c "setprop net.dns2 8.8.4.4"
I have defaulted the script to use Google DNS. If you are using something else (eg. OpenDNS), then just change the numbers by editing the script file with any text editor program or with notepad on your PC. Do you have any other DNS to share? Remember, the best is to share, not to keep! 🙂

[…] away so soon isn’t it? (Or did they just threw the keys off?)Â I have previously covered Access blocked sites with your Android before, however we won’t be sure how long before some idiot come and block the hole on this […]

but nothing happens

Did you tried accessing sites which was previously blocked after that? You can’t see any changes after executing that script because the changes are not visible (it just change your dns).
August 23, 2011 at 4:00 am
Yes i tried to open blocked site. .. But thay still blocked
actually i did npt receive the 4 requests
August 23, 2011 at 6:42 pm |
You need to be rooted to do this.. are you rooted?
September 21, 2011 at 12:19 pm |
hi there, I’m having the same problem as ‘qoolly’… if ‘rammstein says’ recommended that i need to be rooted… i was assuming that the sl4a also roots up my android… since it does not do this, how do i root my device up?
thanks!
September 21, 2011 at 9:34 pm |
Hi Densands. Unfortunately sl4a does not ‘root’ your device. Your device need to be rooted first before you can use sl4a. Rammstein was correct with his comment.
There is an application called one click root or something like that which will temporary root your device (for those who wanted root but scared to go deeper and perma root it..).
As for now I can’t find it (I should have a local copy – perhaps). Try googling for it first.

Hey thanks bro. I’m only sharing back what I know.

Hey i did everything as you said & i even got 4 superuser messages and i allowed them all but after that still blocked websites not opening. I have Samsung galaxy Y & i live in Pakistan.
July 17, 2012 at 9:14 am |
Well try opening superuser and see if it really allows the application or not. You can also use Opera Mobile. They have their own server which compresses websites so I’m pretty sure you will have access to them. But if you want a direct connection for all apps to work then you still need to use the change dns method mentioned.

October 20, 2012 at 6:43 am |
is good but how to use
January 22, 2013 at 2:47 pm |
You can use Hotspot Shield VPN that makes it easier for people on restricted Wi-Fi networks to access the data and services they want, right from their Smartphone or Android tablet device.

I rarely leave a response, but after looking at through
a bunch of comments here Access blocked sites with your Android | Neato4u’s Blog. I actually do have 2 questions for you if it’s okay.
Could it be only me or do some of these responses appear
like they are written by brain dead people? 😛 And,
if you are writing on additional online sites, I’d like to keep up with anything new you have to post. Could you make a list of the complete urls of all your shared sites like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?
June 27, 2013 at 1:39 pm |
I am regular reader, how are you everybody?
This paragraph posted at this site is in fact fastidious.
August 13, 2014 at 4:16 pm |
Its better to use solid VPN like http://hidemyass.com/.
It doesn’t cost a lot of money and you can enjoy even more than just having an access to blocked sites.
The best advantage of good VPN is ANONYMOUS and SECURED connection + extras like having IP from different countries. Browse torrents, social networks, porn sites, you name it!
I am using HideMyAss for a long time already and I can truly recommend it to everyone 🙂
