[split] Chinese firewall

[Vanilla]

I don't quite know if this is able to bypass the great chinese firewall, but some years ago my ISP (Telenor) along with it's branches was judged to block all access to sites such as the pirate bay, mp3raid and such sites*. I never really used them, but i didn't like the fact that i was actually blocked from some sites. Therefore, I found out that i was able to change the DNS server to bypass the ISP firewalls. I also found that that i was able to bypass the school firewall with this method. I don't know whether this is able to bypass the chinese firewall, tho'.

There is two which i prefer to use:
- Google DNS:

• 8.8.8.8
  
• 8.8.4.4
  

- OpenDNS:

• 208.67.222.222
  
• 208.67.220.220
  

Alternatively, there some other DNS servers here:
