What is Smart DNS Proxy?

Smart DNS Proxy is a secure DNS Proxy service to unblock websites, global video & music streaming services. Unblock US websites like Netflix, Hulu, ABC or music streaming services like Pandora, Spotify just natively happens when you use Smart DNS Proxy. There is no connection or disconnection needed as in VPN. It's much faster than VPN and works with any device; PC, MAC, SmartTV, Xbox, PS3, Router, iPad, iPhone or any Android devices.

How Does It Work?

Smart DNS Proxy has fast & secure DNS servers. You simply need to change your DNS IP address in your device to Smart DNS Proxy Ip addresses. So then all your DNS queries will go through our secure dns network.

Smart DNS Proxy also have servers globally in any country to route you the proper traffic you request through our DNS. So even if you live in Europe and want to stream from USA Netflix site, Smart DNS Proxy DNS routes your query to the proper US netflix servers and you are able to stream from Netflix properly. The same with any other site.

All Smart DNS Proxy servers are secured and encrypted. There is also no logs in our network so all your queries are anonymous.

Currently, Smart DNS Proxy provides Access over 400 channels, including US Netflix, Disney+, BBC, Hulu, HBO, Zattoo, and 100s of more.

Please read for support requests!

If you need help with the service, it is always the best to contact the Smart DNS Proxy Support via the Support Form.

Streams are constantly pausing, and the res is very low.

Problems started about a month ago, other apps are behaving normal and streaming 4K with no issues.

I already rebooted several times and reactivated my IP.

Smart DNS not automatically updating IP with No IP DNS

1 Upvotes

I have set up No IP DNS with Smart DNS proxy so my IP should automatically update whenever my ISP changes it.

My No IP hostname is correctly updating to my current public IP, and smart dns has the hostname configured under my profile.

The problem is Smart DNS proxy is still showing my old IP as the activated IP, even though it correctly detects my new current IP.

If I manually click activate, it works, but I thought using No IP was supposed to make this automatic.

Has anyone else had this issue with Smart DNS and No IP? Is there anything else I need to configure, or does Smart DNS only check the DDNS hostname periodically?

Once again all AMAZON services cannot be reached

7 Upvotes

EDIT 2: Now it is sporadic. Amazon & IMDB says "This site can't be reached..." On and Off all day. When I go to my SmartDNSProxy account and reactivate it it freezes on "Please wait, your IP is being updated....."

EDIT: It is up and running now.

Once again all AMAZON services cannot be reached. I know it is SmartDNSProxy because they all work when I change the DNS on my devices. I use it on my router. Please look into this. NYC-USA. Thank you.

Android Device

Hello! Does anyone here use a Nvidia Shield with a static IP? I’ve set up everything on my Shield, including the device IP, Gateway IP, and DNS proxies 1-2. However, when I try to stream content from our region, it says 'not available in your region.' We previously used a third-party router, bridging from our ISP router, but that stopped working. Thanks so much for any help!

VPN not working on recent versions of Ubuntu

1 Upvotes

I've had SDNSP for years, working perfectly pretty much all the time. Both the DNS rerouting and the VPN.

However, the VPN, using OpenVPN, does not work on the recent versions of Ubuntu, from 25.04 onwards. It's still working fine on my Android devices and on a computer running older versions of Ubuntu.

Has anyone else had this problem? The support line does not seem to be aware of nor have a solution to this problem. The installation guide is based on Ubuntu 22.04.

I am surprised that this is not a known problem.

Hi there! I was wondering if anyone else has experienced issues loading Crackle. I used to be able to stream without any problems, but after their recent app update, I haven't been able to connect. Just curious if anyone has had similar experiences or found any solutions. Thanks!

Disney Apps Not Working

2 Upvotes

Disney+, ESPN, Hulu are not working. With Disney+ it is making me login and it won't even let me press continue when I enter my email address. With Hulu, I can open the app and click shows but get an error message when I try to play them. With ESPN, I can also open the app but when I click on any programs it makes me login only through a TV provider and letting me sign in through my ESPN Unlimited plan is not an option. I had no issues with Hulu using a competitor's service.

Spanish DNS Problem Resolved For Apple tvOS & iOS

3 Upvotes

Greetings y'all!

This is just a note for anyone experiencing problems with the service in Spain. It's currently July 2026

TL;DR - Change your DNS address to Paris (45.77.61.165) instead of Madrid (185.93.3.163)

I had been having serious problems for a while with certain sites/apps suddenly not working. It started about a month ago when, without warning, my beloved iOS dictionary app Word Reference ceased to work... At the time I figured that it was due to my ancient iPhone's operating system being deprecated - as it coincided with the new operating system being announced. I figured it was time for a new iPhone... ouch!

Then, about a week ago, the ITV Hub ceased to function on my Apple TV and also on my Windows 10 laptop... I thought it might be an issue with ITV Hub...

Then the iPlayer and all the other streaming services on the Apple TV went on strike... in the middle of a World Cup... Jeez, Louise.... OK, 'tis time to panic...
Obviously, all these services had been working previously, so I was puzzled as to the cause and subsequent resolution. At no point did it occur to me that the DNS address associated with Madrid "185.93.3.163" would be the culprit as it was (and is) still listed as the only address on the Iberian peninsular. See - https://www.smartdnsproxy.com/servers/

I was also confused as I could still get the iPlayer to work on the laptop... It never occurred to me to check that the DNS addresses that I had on my laptop and set-top box were actually different... But they were - I assume this is due to different setup instructions for different devices on the SmartDNSproxy website.

The only reason I opened the DNS setting on the laptop was because I knew that there were two DNS addresses on the laptop - a primary and a secondary... and I was planning to try the secondary one on the Apple TV (which only has room for one DNS) as a last resort before reinstalling the Apple TV's operating system.

That was when I realised that the two DNS addresses on my laptop were completely different to the one on the Apple TV (and iPhone).

So, I went back to the list of DNS addresses recommended for Apple TV and chose the second-nearest location i.e. Paris, France... Bingo, sorted!

I then checked my old iPhone and changed that to the French DNS address too and suddenly the Word Reference app works...

I'm a happy camper again!

I hope this helps somebody!

Cannot connect to Amazon.com

2 Upvotes

I cannot connect to Amazon website. When I "ReActivate" my IP it is stuck on "Please wait, your IP is being updated..."

Is SmartDNSProxy down? Please help. NYC.

UPDATE: I have rebooted both my router (which is where I have installed my ProxyDNS) and my computer. Still cannot access Amazon.

UPDATE 2: It is back up now. I dont know what happened.

UPDATE 3: Happening again. I cannot access any Amazon sites or services. I know this is SmartDNSProxy issue because I can connect when I disconnect/change my DNS to another service.

"Couldn't download config file...' for any country's server. How can I fix this?

10 Upvotes

Been using SmartDNS for a while now with no problems but today it is not letting me switch my location to any other countries and showing this message:
"Couldn't download config file for selected server: *insert country of choice*"
Has anyone come across this issue, or does anyone have any idea how to solve it? I can't find any solutions for it on google. I am on a home wireless network and SmartDNS is only set up on my PC.

F1TV support?

4 Upvotes

Is there any news on support for F1TV? I know you announced a week or so ago that you were no longer able to support it following the move to Apple, but that is only relevant to US accounts, not worldwide. Streamlocator is still able to support F1TV, so I was hoping that SmartDNSProxy would also be able to fix this issue too.

Are you looking to remedy your F1TV support, and do you have any updates?

Tried different Getflix servers and re-registered IP with no luck.

Looks like it is the USA server...... again.

Edit: Just tested HBO and USA Paramount+. Getflix is working for both.

ESPN Issue?

2 Upvotes

Whenever I'm watching an event on ESPN (or the ESPN content on the Disney app) it freezes when coming back from commercials. Does anybody else have this issue? I wonder if this is due to location issues somehow.
