What do you mean with "bypassing"?
"I just remembered something that happened a long time ago."
You mean instead of google it's using your ISPs search engine?
Switch your DNS to another (openDNS will do the same as your ISP, but use opendns search, but you can disable that if you register with them and disable the setting).
how do i change my dns or to open DNS. also will i get banned by torrent sits if i change my dns?

No, you will not. There's absolutely nothing wrong with using an alternative DNS service. I've done that for years. I don't think trackers can even tell you're doing it.also will i get banned by torrent sits if i change my dns?

i tried open dns and it made me lag really bad so i switched to googles

You can use Namebench to check which servers are the fastest for you. I did the test and it said OpenDNS was the fastest of them all, but as you can see that varies from computer to computer.

I wasn't aware such a service was available. thank you!! Blocking phishing sites sounds like a huge advantage as well but is it any better than the filters already on firefox?
