 Here are the three different methods to Unblock any websites completely free completely ad-free and without downloading any software

1. Use Google DNS

Most of the time blocked websites can be unblocked simply by changing the DNS settings.
ISP's block outgoing traffic to specific websites on their DNS servers, by changing your DNS configuration from that of your ISP's to a public DNS server like that of Google can unblock those websites.
Here's how you can change your DNS server address in windows 10
  1. Click Start Menu > Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center or Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center.
  2. Click Change adapter settings.
  3. Right-click on Wi-Fi or Local Area Connection.
  4. Click Properties.
  5. Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4).
  6. Click Properties.
  7. Click on "Use the following DNS server addresses"
  8. Type 8.8.8.8 in "Preferred DNS server"
  9. Type 8.8.4.4 in "Alternate DNS server"
  10. Click OK

2. Use PPTP VPN

Did you know windows 10 also has a VPN built into it? We just need a VPN provider. Don't worry you don't have to download anything.

PPTP stands for point to point tunneling protocol. Its name may sound complicated but it itself isn't. You just need to setup PPTP VPN once and after that, It's as simple as clicking a single button

Here's how to set up a PPTP VPN connection in Windows 10
Note: I am using VPNBOOK.COM as PPTP VPN provider you can use any other VPN provider
Step:1 Open Settings

 Step: 2 Click on Network and Internet

Step:3 Click on VPN in Panel on left side
Step 4 Click on "Add a VPN connection"
Step:5 Select VPN provider to Windows


Step:6 Type "VPNBOOK" in "Connection Name" without quotation marks
Step 7 Put any of the server address from the following link in "Server address"
Step:8 Select Point to Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) in "VPN Type"
Step:9 Select Username and Password in "Type of Sign-in Info"
Step:10 Type username and password from the following link and then click Save.

 The above-explained process is one-time and whenever you need to connect or disconnect to VPN you'll have to;

 Click on the Internet icon in the taskbar
Click on the VPNBOOK VPN connection in the pop-up
Click Connect/Disconnect





3. Google Translate



Who would've thought that Google Translate might one day be used for unblocking websites?

 This method is useful for unblocking a website instantaneously when you just want to get to a site without all the extra hassle.

 The process is pretty straightforward.
Open Google translate
Set one language to English
Set another language to anything, let's say Spanish
Type/paste a link in the English side
Click on the link in the translated (in our case Spanish) side
That's it.

It is very painful to see your mobile's battery dying too quickly.

 No matter how many times you charge it's always dead when you need it.

 You can't always keep your mobile plugged in.

 Power banks decrease your battery timing considerably, don't use them too frequently.

 Well, the following steps will help to increase your mobile's battery timing and it's battery life.

1. Screen Brightness

Screens drain much battery. It can use as much as 50% of the battery or even more.

 Do not keep your screen's brightness too high. Try to keep it as low as possible.

 Most of the smartphones have "Auto screen brightness" option. Use it, it can be very helpful.

 Set your timeout to as short as you can handle.

2.Hardware Radios

Most people keep their wifi, Data connection, Bluetooth etc. on even when they don't need it.

These radios also drain much battery. They are quite a burden on the battery.

Turning wifi or other such hardware radios off when they are not in use increases battery timing considerably.

This will also prolong long-term battery life as the battery is relieved from unnecessary stress.

3. Extra apps

Most apps keep running in the background without even your knowing. They also use battery (Obviously).

Do not install apps excessively that you don't even need.

If you have apps on your mobile that you no longer need or never needed, then it's time to get rid of them.

4. Excessive charge and Discharge

Charging your mobile, using it till it's battery dies and then recharging it, stresses the battery. 

Excessive charge and discharge have a negative impact on the battery whose lifetime is considerably reduced by this practice.

So, give your mobile some rest. Don't use your mobile ridiculously.

5. Battery Calibration

Over time, the remaining battery percentage which mobile shows and the actual charge in the battery tend to aberrate.

This is sometimes also a factor in decreasing battery timing and eventually long-term battery life.

It is good to calibrate your battery often.

It is very easy to do. Use your mobile and take your battery as low as you can (don't get your battery too low because it can damage the battery), then turn your mobile off and charge your mobile fully before turning it on.
