How to unblock postimg

So, you are in an ASEAN country or some other place and youre browsing SP for the latest teasers. Should be ok, right? But then you get this:

Wtf? Where is the plane? Luckily for you, you can see this plane by just modifying your hosts file to override your ISPs DNS info


1. Find your hosts file

This should be pretty simple.
On windows, its C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
On unix-based oses like Mac and Linux (by extension also Android, so you could probably do this if you rooted your phone), its /etc/hosts


2. Open in notepad

Paste in this:

104.238.221.169 i.postimg.cc
104.238.222.11 i.postimg.cc
104.238.220.140 i.postimg.cc
46.229.175.90 postimg.cc

Like so:

Save it and youre done! If you can see the image below after refreshing your browser youve successfully unblocked postimages

If you still cant see postimages, the website ban is probably much deeper than DNS and youll have to use a proxy or VPN, personally i recommend windscribe for a free vpn although i wouldnt trust it for privacy

    @MrRizzi On android the easiest method is to just change the dns server to something like 1.1.1.1 (cloudflare) or 8.8.8.8 instead of the one thats isp-provided, and theres many tutorials online for that, but you can also do the method here by rooting your device although i wouldnt recommend
