In "King of the Hill" or "Sumo" modes, do not just run at the biggest guy. If you have low mass, you are fast. Use speed to slingshot around corners. If you have high mass, play like a tank. Do not jump. Just walk into people slowly. The "Bonk" happens automatically based on relative velocity.

For home networks, you can technically edit your host file, but this is overkill for most users. Stick to proxy sites.
