Streaming blocked content overseas has always been about setting up a VPN, but sites like
Netflix have started to crack down on VPN users,
Are you one of those guys?
So what are we gonna do about it?
Well, you're in luck, my friend, smartDNSproxy to the rescue.
Intro
G’day, I’m vamsi from smartDNS proxy
And Unlike desktop, that we already seen, Steaming blocked content to your Android and
iOS devices gets a little trickier,
I highly recommend that you setup smartdns proxy on your router instead,.
This way, you can have smartdns proxy both on your mobile and desktop simultaneously,
But say if you’re travelling overseas and you just want to setup smart dns on little
brother’ ipad Or other android devices, here’s how to
go about it.
----- Okay, so we are going to do this in 3 simple
steps, just like we did for windows and mac
Step 1.
Create a smart proxy account Step 2.
Setup dns server Step 3.
Activate your IP in smart DNS system
Step 4 (which is optional) configuring Region Summary, we’ll come to that.
Now, for step 1 and 3, I suggest using a computer, because you know, the bigger the screen the
easier it gets if you’re old that is . but say, if you’re young traveller like me and
only carry smartphones ,then you could still set up a smartDNS proxy without a computer
. Here’s how you do it
Android 1.
Open up your Android browser, and go to smartdnsproxy.com and create a free account.
If you haven’t done already You basically have to enter, you email address
and name etc, no credit cards info required.
Now, in this case, I already have a smart dns account, so I’ll just log into it.
2.
Next we need to setup smart dns server To do that.
Go to "Settings" > "Wireless and Networks" > "Wi-Fi settings"
Find the WiFi you are connected to, or want to use smart dns with
And then long press on the wifi name,
Select the modify network option,
And Under ip settings use static instead of dynamic
Leave the IP address and gateway as it is
And under dns1 and dns2 Enter the two IP address that you can see
on the screen right now Or you can find the complete list, by click
on the link in the description of this video or youtube cards..
It’s better to use the closest DNS server IP as your primary and another one relatively
close as your secondary.
For instance, say if I’m in canada, ideally I’d copy two dns servers from canada, and
if there was only one available, then I choose another nearby canada, like los angeles or
something.
And once you’ve done that , tap the save button.
But wait, isn’t the save button is greyed out.
This is an ubiquitous problem
So, if that happens with you All you need to do is,
Copy current IP address to IP address field And do the same with default gateway
Make sure you enter the same value Or it will create network problems .if you’re
curious about you should the video in the description below.
This will enable your save button.
Once you saved the changes, You’ve successfully configured smartdns
on your android device.
Or, if you don’t want to go through, all this hassle, simply download
WiFi Settings app from google play store and setup your dns server there.
That’s much easier.
Step 3
Step 3 is to activate your IP address in smart dnsproxy database
You can do that by loggin to your smart dns account from your computer
Or simply though mobile browser.
Now you stream blocked content without any geo restrictions.
But yeah, remember, just like I said in the desktop setup,
whenever your IP changes,(since you are using an dynamic IP address) your smartdns service
will stop working . And you’d need to Re- LOGIN to Smart DNS Proxy and UPDATE your IP
address
This should get you back on again ,
iOS
Now, let’s see how to setup smartDNS on iOS
I.e.
the steps are same for iPhone, iPad or iPod.
Do people even use ipods anymore?
For this instance, I’m going to show the steps for an iPad, because you know
The bigger the screen.
But yeah, the steps are pretty much identical.
Now, assuming, you have already created a smartdns proxy account,
1.
Start by going to Settings application and click on Wi-Fi.
2.
Click on the network you are currently connected to.
3.
Next, Tap on the DNS Field.
4.
Fill DNS field with Smart DNS Proxy Ips which you can see on the screen as we speak.
I’ve already explained this in the first part of the video, so, just jump back to it
, if you are not sure what I’m talking about.
When entering IP addresses remember to put "comma" (,) between them without space.
6.
And that’s it, restart your ipad,
And yeah, if you have not already setup smartdns proxy on your computer, then make sure to
activate your current IP address to smart dns proxy database, you can do that by either
loggin to your smart dns account from computer or your ipad/iPhone.
Outro
So, there you go, That’s how you setup smart dns proxy for
Android and iOS devices.
But, like I said before, it’s way more convenient to set up smart DNS proxy,
On your router,that way you’d able to access Blocked content on all of your devices connected
to the router.
