Updated with MAC steps at the bottom.
Update #2: I want to add that this should only be used temporarily. In the event GAW ever changes their IP address you will need to update your hosts file with the new IP.
Update #3: Added authentication.win record
Hi frens,
Some asked me to make a thread about this directly so that it could be stickied. Mods, if you deem this sticky-worthy go ahead.
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 these two lines exactly
172.67.145.123 greatawakening.win
104.21.87.229 authentication.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:
greatawakening.win
Press the Enter key to start a new line
Input the IP address:
104.21.87.229
Press the Tab key
Enter the domain name:
authentication.win
Save the file by pressing Ctrl + O
Exit with Ctrl + X
