Step 1: Get your fastest DNS Server Addresses
Go to Smart DNS Proxy Servers Page, and write down any two DNS server addresses/numbers but it’s recommended to choose the closest location to you.
Note: Regardless of the DNS server locations, they all configured the same way. Therefore, any DNS servers will work.
Step 2: Setting Up Smart DNS On iPad / iPhone
Choose Settings from Home screen.
Tap on Wi-Fi.
Find your Wireless connection (which has a tick or check mark) and click on the blue ‘i‘ icon.
You should now be in your Wi-Fi details page. At the Configure DNS section, tap on Automatic.
At the DNS configuration screen, tap on Manual and tap on the red (-) minus icon to remove your existing DNS address.
Now, tap on the (+) Add Server and enter the DNS server address that you’ve written down in Step 1.
You will need to click on the plus (+) button again to enter the second DNS server.
Once you’ve added two DNS servers, tap on Save at the top right corner to save the settings.
Step 3: Activate Your IP address
Now that you’ve configured your device to use the Smart DNS, you will just need to activate your IP address. To do so, login into your Account and click on Activate next to IP activation.
If you’ve activated your IP address successfully and you have configured your computer to use the DNS address, you will see green checkmarks next to DNS Setup and IP activation.
