Yes, you should follow those instructions. Go step by step testing those things. When one of them doesn't work try another one and so on and so forth... Trying a new kernel should be the last one and it may not work or work as you'd never seen before!

If you can reach the blocked sites by their IP, then you could just use another DNS provider. However whatever technical measure you use, circumventing some censorship measure might get you in hot water with the management...

I think it might be able to run my port of Linux-Libre [1], but there is no free distribution yet with ARM support. I only have an A13 for testing, you will need to compile the kernel from source for A10. Maybe one could start with Arch [2] and upgrade to Parabola. [1] http://platen-softwar

You can use smth like Jappix with TorBrowser. Other way is to install TOR and use it as proxy (Pidgin supports SOCKS proxy), or just start pidgin as "torify pidgin".
