Smart DNS Proxy - Setup on Router

Set up a Smart DNS Proxy on your router. FREE TRIAL -www.dnsproxy.co.uk
Here's a quick tutorial on how you can set up a smart dns proxy on your router instead of directly on your devices. This has the advantage of using the Smart DNS servers on all your equipment even stuff like Smart TVs like the Lg Smart, apple TV, Amazon Fire TV , Samsung Smart TVS and Roku's for example which don't let you modify the DNS settings directly.
Smart DNS has become increasingly popular over the last year or so, largely due to the fact that it can be implemented on most devices. It can open up virtually any blocked website which may be restricted due to location. It can be used to access bbc iplayer, Hulu Netflix, NBC sports and whole host of others - you can even get the disney channel from South Africa.
The smart dns proxy servers are a new brand of global stealth which bring the ability to hide my IP on things like mobile devices, gaming consoles in the same way that traditional vpn plans were able to do. One of the difference between vpn and smartdns is that using someting like overplay smart dns you only need to modify the dns provider in order to set it up.
Using a VPN works too and of course offers a level of security, but they can be difficult to set up on devices other than PCs and laptops. Using a Smart DNS provider things like the server location are irrelevant as they are with traditional virtual private networking, This is because the internet speed is not affected as the internet traffic is not rerouted like vpn connections are. You can setup smart dns in a few minutes on any device or operating system.
Remember although it's tempting to just use smart dns there are distinct advantages to using a VPN server. One of the most important is security, which is essential in some situations where privacy is imoportant. You should use vpns for torrents or accessing blocked content in places like Saudi Arabia. Also some sites can block Smart DNS for example Netflix and Amazon prime, you'll also find vpns for mac operating systems can be quicker.
There has been some efforts to block the use of Smart devices by various media companies over the last few months. This is mainly by hard coding public DNS servers into devices and applications, however companies seem to be back tracking on this method. This is due to the complaints from both customers and the public dns owners such as Google.

How's Smart DNS with Netflix at the moment?

[@proxyguy1]

Not so good to be honest, although haven't checked for a week or so. Netflix are quite aggressively blocking lots of these, some VPNs still working though.

I don't get it

The main reason I like to use a Smart DNS proxy rather than a VPN is it's easier to install on different devices. You can usually set it up directly on most devices by just modifying the DNS setting.
