    Hi All,
    I have just found out today that O2 are blocking websites , primarily filesharing sites like Rapidshare, Hotfile and the one that really irks me, Megavideo.

    The whole censorship really F~~ks me off and i believe they are in breech of contract to start with. Anyway i would quit them immediately but as i am out in the country i have absolutely no other internet service available.

    My question.
    I have heard that it is possible to circumvent these blocks by changing the DNS settings on your Modem.

    Can someone please provide a guide on how to change the DNS settings which i can take across and post on the O2 forum just to show them how pathetic they are.

    I am using the Hawai Dongle modem if that means anything.
    Cheers
