Bypassing a mere DNS block such as this one, should be trivial for anyone with basic network knowledge IMHO. I will offer a couple of solutions quickly:
1) Have you tried Tor[1]? Should be fast enough for Github push/pull and browsing. You can route all your traffic easily through the Tor network or even configure which requests (based on DNS) should be routed through the tor network and which ones should not. There are other solutions as I2P (google it).
2) You can buy a VPS and set-up a proxy from the Netherlands or the US, for 5 USD/month at Digital Ocean.
3) You can scan the internet for anonymous proxies, there are many lists available.
The most secure and cheap solution of course is Tor.
UPDATE: Some people report that it's not a DNS level block?! Anyway, using Tor should work for anyone. You can even setup a router running Tor and get over with it, DNS requests are router through tor.

- davidw 12y agoSure, these things are usually easy to bypass, but addressing the root cause is a good idea, long term.
- esalman 12y ago+1. Also, these are not so easy to bypass for people with not-so-high level of technical skills.
- jsudhams 12y agoDo NOT follow this. Circumventing the block might be crime. Wait for few days either they will unblock or file petition in court or to respective department. If many people do this , then gov will start blocking only content no the site.
- neil_s 12y agoThey have issued a circular instructing ISPs to block the websites, but haven't made accessing the sites illegal for consumers AFAIK. There are perfectly good reasons to already have been using Google or OpenDNS that have nothing to do with the block. If I'd already been using these perfectly legitimate services, and went onto Github like any other day, would I be committing a crime?
- atmosx 12y agoFor those who are concerned about privacy/security I would advocate with OpenNIC Project resolvers[1]. [1] http://www.opennicproject.org/ http://www.opennicproject.org/ I had a configuration some time ago using unbound + DNSSEC + DNSCrypt with OpenNIC servers.
