Quick signup and working

Signed up on the site on my phone in the queue for the bus, took about five minutes. Set it up on my Apple TV after and it all works for iPlayer and All 4. Only niggle is the emails came a bit slow to confirm my account, took maybe an hour. Otherwise sorted.

Not quite as quick as the VPN

Compared with the VPN my son suggested, this is a little less fiddly to set up on the house router, though I did find the speed slightly lower on an evening. Still perfectly watchable for the programmes I like. The welcome email took a while to arrive but everything after that was straightforward.

Subscribed for the smart tv

Subscribed to use on the smart TV for the foreign channels my family watch. I already know a fair bit about DNS settings so the manual setup was quick. Latency is low and it has been stable for the last few weeks. Price is in line with what I expected.

the verdict is a good one

I'd say this is a sensible choice if you want your television to behave. My grandson set it up on the smart TV in the lounge and it has been reliable since. The price is reasonable and I was grateful for the email reminder before renewal. It has done exactly what I needed.

needed it for work travel

I needed this for keeping my usual sites reachable when I'm working from hotels. I've used DNS services before so I know the setup and it went smoothly on the router. The only small niggle is the account page could be clearer about renewal dates. Otherwise it does what I need.

Firestick setup

Bought the plan for my firestick, quick signup on the site. Followed the steps while the kids were shouting and it was sorted in ten mins. Works fine, no buffering on the iplayer. Sorted.

Sorted my sons gaming streams

Honestly the first thing I noticed was how quick the whole thing was to sort out, I wasn't expecting it to take five minutes but it did. Signed up on the app while waiting for the kettle, and then I just followed their little guide to get it working on the Xbox. The streams my son wanted to watch from his mates in Canada came through fine straight away and he hasn't stopped going on about it since.

Got the monthly plan for the iPad

Got the monthly plan for my iPad after a mate kept going on about it. The setup took a bit longer than the video made out but I got there in the end. Streaming is solid now and I've not had a drop in the evenings. Only thing is the delivery of the login details took ages to show up in my inbox so I was a bit worried. Still pretty happy with it though.

best value after comparing

Went through a few options and this was the best value by some distance. Set up was easy enough and it works on the smart TV and the laptop. Support replied quickly when I had one question.

Better than the one before

Compared with the service I was using before, this is a clear step up for getting my shows on the big screen. Set it up with the help of the guide and it's been reliable since. I have had no complaints and the renewal was painless.

the setup guide saved me

The step by step guide for the router was the part I noticed most, it covered my exact model and I had it running in a quarter of an hour. I know my way around networks so I didn't need the support line. Good value and no faff since.

Been with them years

I've been a customer for a long while now and I still think this beats the other DNS services I tried years ago. It's a bit pricier than some of the cheaper options but the service has held up. I had one renewal reminder go to spam, which was my own fault really. Still happy to keep paying for it.

needed it for the football

Needed something to get the match streams on my PS5 when I was living abroad last summer. Signed up on my phone in like five minutes and then followed the setup guide. Works loads better than I thought it would, no lag at all. Would sort it again for sure.

slower than the other one

Compared it with another DNS thing my mate uses and this one feels a bit slower on the streams. It's fine for normal browsing but I notice it when watching live football. Setup was fine and support was ok. Not the worst but I'd check the other options first.

does the job

Works for what I wanted it for, which was getting my shows on the telly. The setup was a bit of a faff at first because I didn't read the guide properly. Price is okay for what it is. Not sure I'd rush back to it.

Bought the annual plan

Got the yearly plan for my Smart TV and it's paid for itself already compared with what I was paying for the old setup. Set the DNS address in the TV settings and it worked first time. Nothing to install and no app to keep updated. Good value for a household with two or three streaming accounts.

works on my telly

Honestly the bit I liked most was that it works on my Samsung telly without me having to install anything weird. Signed up on the site in like two minutes and was watching iPlayer that night. Speed's fine for streaming, no buffering on Netflix or anything. Didn't have to speak to anyone, which suited me. Would use again.

needed it for the telly

I needed it so I could get my programmes from home while my daughter's in Australia and wants to watch with me. It's a fair price for what it does and the monthly option means I'm not tied in. Set up on the router with the guide and it's been reliable since.

Best of the lot we tried

I looked at about three or four of these smart DNS services before settling on this one, and it was the easiest to get going. The setup took a few minutes on my router and the streaming sites I use all work now without any fuss. Support answered a question I had within the hour, which I wasn't expecting. Price was fair for what you get, and I haven't had a single drop since signing up.

Why I needed it

I needed something to get my favourite channels from home when I was staying with my sister in Spain. The setup was clear and I was able to manage it myself with the instructions. It has been very dependable for me since, and I have nothing to add to that.

About Smart DNS Proxy

Smart DNS Proxy is a telecom service that lets people access geo-restricted streaming, gaming and web content by routing DNS requests through its servers. The service is sold online and is used by customers who want to watch region-locked television, films and sport from outside their home country. Its focus is on DNS-based unblocking rather than a full virtual private network, which keeps connection speeds closer to those of a standard line.

The company operates entirely through its website, where customers set up the service on devices such as smart TVs, games consoles, routers and computers. Smart DNS Proxy is known for its compatibility with devices that cannot run a VPN app directly, and its setup guides cover many different platforms.
