What Is A Smart DNS Service?
Basically, the service works by redirecting certain traffic via Smart DNS servers located throughout the globe.
So for example, say you want to watch the UK’s BBC iPlayer from abroad, instead of your computer connecting directly to the BBC iPlayer servers, it is automatically redirected so that it connects via Smart DNS servers in the United Kingdom.
As a result, BBC iPlayer thinks that you are actually in the United Kingdom and lets you access the site.
This service is highly recommended if you’re planning to use a service to access geo-restricted TV channels.

Frequently Asked Questions
How To Cancel Smart DNS Proxy Free Trial Account?
Your free trial account will be automatically cancelled if you’ve passed the 14 days free trial and didn’t take up a paid subscription.
Is Smart DNS Proxy Safe?
Absolutely! Most of the region-restricted websites have an initial location check, so a Smart DNS service route this request to their servers so you can bypass them.
This is a great service for Streaming as they only route the Internet traffic for the TV sites they support. Any other Internet traffic goes directly onto the Internet without Smart DNS service automatically.
Is Smart DNS Proxy Free?
You can use their service for 14 days for Free! They will not ask for your payment details and therefore, you will not be charged.
On the 14th day, you can either take a subscription with them or just don’t take any action. The free trial account will be automatically cancelled.
Personally, I would highly recommend their service because they support over 600+ TV channels and you can access it from anywhere in the world.
As low as $4 per month, their subscription is really cheap and it’s a good bargain.
This is also a great service for those who want to cancel their expensive cable TV subscription and look for a cheaper alternative.
Can I Use Smart DNS Service On Multiple Devices?
Yes! You can set up and use smart DNS service on any number of devices but they all need to be connected to the same network. i.e. Your home Wi-Fi connection.
For a Smart DNS service to work, you just need to activate your public IP address on their website and once you have done that, any devices connected to that network can use the service if the DNS servers are set on the device.
Smart DNS Proxy Stopped Working?
Unfortunately, whenever your public IP address changes, you will need to activate/update your IP.
To do so, login into your Account and click on Activate next to IP activation and you’re done.
Just to share, your IP address could have changed due to;
- You are connecting from a different network. (Other Wi-Fi / 4G)
- Your Internet connection got cut off momentarily.
- The Internet router was rebooted.
- Your ISP made some changes or rebooted their system on their back end.
Conclusion
Smart DNS proxy is one of the leading DNS proxy service providers and I like the simplicity of their registration process. They don’t even ask for credit card details like others.
Personally, I would highly recommend their service because they support over 600+ TV channels and you can access it from anywhere in the world.
As low as $4 per month, their subscription is really cheap and it’s a good bargain.
