I can't access twitter.com. I don't know why.
Is it due to proxy or other things?

here are your possible solutions:
if you can't access the server (website) firstly try to ping it to get response:
ping twitter.com -c4 you must get e.g.:
ping twitter.com -c4 PING twitter.com (199.16.156.6) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 199.16.156.6: icmp_seq=1 ttl=246 time=134 ms 64 bytes from 199.16.156.6: icmp_seq=2 ttl=246 time=132 ms 64 bytes from 199.16.156.6: icmp_seq=3 ttl=246 time=133 ms 64 bytes from 199.16.156.6: icmp_seq=4 ttl=246 time=133 ms --- twitter.com ping statistics --- 4 packets transmitted, 4 received, 0% packet loss, time 3005ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 132.808/133.499/134.014/0.629 ms that means everything is ok.
Other solutions install tor
sudo apt-get install tor Then in Mozilla go to edit/preferences/advanced/network/settings choose manual proxy and enter in the Host tab 127.0.0.1 and port 9050 and press ok. Done.
Or install Tor-Browser bundle:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/tor-browser sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install tor-browser You can install wine, and after then download freegate and run it by wine to bypass filtering if any. I recommend you don't install Tor because it doesn't work correctly.
