SmartDNS unlocks 400+ geo-restricted streaming services worldwide by transparently routing your DNS queries through UK servers — making streaming services believe you're in a different region, instantly, with zero speed loss. £3.79 per month, no contract.
SmartDNS works at the DNS layer — there's no VPN tunnel, no speed overhead and no app to install. You change two DNS addresses and you're done. Unlike a VPN, SmartDNS only routes the DNS lookup; your actual streaming data travels directly from the streaming server to your device at full speed, with no tunnelling or encryption overhead. That's why it has zero impact on streaming quality.
When you access a geo-restricted site, your device first does a DNS lookup to translate the domain into an IP address. SmartDNS intercepts only those DNS queries for geo-sensitive domains and returns responses that route the connection through our UK proxy infrastructure. Using SNI (Server Name Indication) proxy technology, the streaming service sees a valid connection originating from the correct region — without any VPN tunnel, encryption overhead or IP masking of your main connection.
The service runs on a dual UK server architecture with automatic failover — your subscription gives you access to both primary and secondary servers simultaneously. We continuously update our routing tables as streaming services change their geo-detection methods, so your DNS addresses never change but the backend adapts to keep services working.
Trusted by thousands: 8,500+ active subscribers, 400+ streaming services, two UK redundant servers, and 24/7 UK support from real engineers. Pair SmartDNS with our Deep Packet Filter to block adverts, malware and tracking at the same time.
