I saved this from what another techie Anon posted a year or so ago:
Ideally you have your own hosts file with the most important websites already configured. it's located in the windows\system32\drivers\etc\ folder.
The file is just called "hosts".This will allow you to browse to these sites without any use of external DNS servers.
To elaborate further for Windows users (sorry I do not have a MAC but I am sure the process is similar, just need to find where the hosts file is located on MAC/Linux)
Open the hosts file in notepad, by default it should look like this
Copyright (c) 1993-2009 Microsoft Corp.
This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
space.
Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
For example:
102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
#127.0.0.1 localhost #::1 localhost
add a new line at the bottom, with no "#" infront
172.67.145.123 greatawakening.win
save it to your desktop... drag and drop it into windows\system32\drivers\etc folder
make sure windows does not add .txt to the filename. it is not a text file.
located in windows\system32\drivers\etc
there contains a file simply named 'hosts'
copy this file to your desktop
edit it with notepad
at the bottom of the file add these two lines exactly
I gotta admit- I always panic a little when it goes down! :)
Me too. This is my link to reality.
I get excited because usually it means something BIG happened.
Same here. And then the EBS comes on I’m giddy...then it’s just a freakin’ test and deflated.
Me too. Is there a plan B if this site does go down? Can't imagine being without this community.

TruthSocial?
At least 2 times for me.
Was down for me but could still access through https://communities.win/c/GreatAwakening/
404'd for a sec. Back running now.
Do you think more than usual because we are getting closer to midterms? Also there are several primaries tomorrow.
Yup was just down for me
Been down twice today for me
It was down 3 or 4 times.
Yeah I noticed a glitch in the matrix too.
No probs, perhaps due to my VPN?
Yes, it was down for me. I changed my log on and password then I was able to log in. Might have just been timing on my part.
For me tooZ,
I wasn't able to get on earlier today
Yep. I got an error too
I noticed it to and immediately went to check other websites. Everything else was working. Glad this is back up.
Several times this morning.
Me too
