"Now when Turkish users seemingly ask a Google DNS server for YouTube's address, they get the IP address of a Turkish government site (195.175.254.2), explaining the ban," the company said.

The DNS converts human-understandable domain names to computer-understandable IP addresses. On your system, you use the DNS server, which is set by default by your internet service provider (ISP).

Enter your device's network settings and manually add the IP address—such as 1.1.1.1 for Cloudflare or 8.8.8.8 for Google—to connect to the desired DNS server.
