Unblock Youtube or fix flash error in MTNL or other networks(easy)

YOUTUBE FLASH ERROR FIX AND VIDEO STREAMING PROBLEMS FIXED IN YOUTUBE.

So, the past few days I couldn't load any video in YouTube in my firefox browser. With vpn somehow the videos loaded. But, after disconnecting the vpn, youtube would give errors again.
I thought the problem was caused by my adobe flash player. I uninstalled the flash player and installed it again only to be disappointed.
Then at last, I came across this dns server fix for MTNL. It worked and now flash videos works fine in every site. Before I couldn't even download from many sites. That is long gone now. So, here is the tutorial.

STEPS

1. If you are using an adsl router:
   
    Enter your wifi-router configuration settings page. It differs for every router.       Just look for settings with the words "DNS". It can be primary or secondary
    DNS. It might be 0.0.0.0 in your router right now. You need to change this. Go 
    to OpenDNS and copy the DNS server. The picture below is an example.

    Copy the DNS address. You will be pasting this in your router.
    After finding your DNS settings paste them like this


    Click save. Now, try youtube. It will load just fine.


2. If you are not using an adsl router

    The steps are the same as above. The difference is that you need to find the
    location of  DNS option in your windows PC.
    Go to your network connection. Select status and then click properties below the Activity there select the IPV4 and click on properties. There below you'll see  " use the following DNS name" there fill the primary DNS and alternate DNS servers. Apply it. All done.

Good Luck!
