Ideally you have your own hosts file with the most important websites already configured.
For Windows:
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 this one line exactly
172.67.145.123 greatawakening.win
save the file (to your desktop) - ensure that windows does not add a .txt extension to this file. Then drag and drop it into your windows\system32\drivers\etc folder. Yes on the overwrite.
This will allow you to be able to access GAW even if worldwide DNS ceases to exist.
I would not recommend leaving this configured forever, incase GAW changes IP addresses or anything. But knowing how to do it for temporary purposes is a good idea.
For MAC:
open a terminal
type
Type sudo nano /etc/hosts and press Return
Enter your admin password and press Return
Using the "Nano" text editor can be a bit hard.. but follow these simple steps:
Use the Return key to create some space below the existing records
Input the IP address:
172.67.145.123
Press the Tab key
Enter the domain name:
greatawkening.win
Save the file by pressing Ctrl + O
Exit with Ctrl + X
This is a good temporary solution. I would not leave this configured forever in the event GAW changes their IP addresses.

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.
