wireless - My computer is only connecting to huge websites like FB and Google - Ask Ubuntu

i'm writing friend's computer in same house. being feet same wireless router, can't access not owned super-massive corporation. laptop's running ubuntu 16.04, date relatively nice hardware, i'm pretty baffled.

it might not computer's problem (to can check using computer access not-controlled-by-mega-corporations-websites other internet access point) rather problem of friend's router. s/he (or 1 set up) might have allowed popular websites , blocked others in router settings. possible case isp might have done - maybe on friend's request. check computer first on other internet access point.

also, try using vpns or proxy websites - knows, might work.
