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.

Read moreHonestly 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…
Read moreCompared 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.
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.

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.
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.

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.
