reported an ISP block of sites like Facebook. and raised provider-side fixes and switching ISPs — both can work, but it helps to first identify what layer is doing the blocking so the right fix can be chosen.

Quick checks to diagnose where the block happens:

  • From your PC, test DNS and routing with these commands:
    nslookup facebook.com
dig facebook.com    # macOS/Linux
tracert facebook.com    # Windows
traceroute facebook.com # macOS/Linux
  • Try a different network (phone hotspot) to see if the site loads elsewhere.
  • Inspect the local hosts file (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts or /etc/hosts) and router parental/filtering settings.
  • If DNS lookup fails but traceroute shows network hops, it’s likely DNS filtering. If DNS resolves but HTTP(s) fails, the ISP may be blocking IPs or doing HTTP filtering.

Practical next steps (without switching providers right away):

  • If DNS filtering is indicated, try reputable public DNS providers such as Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) and Google Public DNS (8.8.8.8) to see if resolution changes (, Google Public DNS).
  • If the block is at HTTP/HTTPS level, privacy-preserving tools (for example Tor) can route around censorship; evaluate them for security and legal fit (Tor Project).
  • If the hosts file or router rules caused it, remove the entry or disable the filter.

Note: bypassing network blocks can violate an ISP’s terms or local law. If unsure, document the tests above and contact the ISP to ask why the site is blocked before using circumvention tools.

Your internet provider? Then why not just drop them and go with another provider? Never heard of a provider filtering content. A way around, if they are allowing the traffic is to sign up for a VPN service that provide you with web surfing access.
