Requirements

To set up the Smart DNS you will need:

  1. 1. A SmartDNS account. If you are not a current subscriber sign up here.
  2. 2. Your DNS addresses. You can find them under the Control panel on our website.

Note:

To unblock streaming services with our SmartDNS service, you have to register your IP address. Check out how to update your IP address under the Control Panel here.


Step 1

Open a web browser and enter your router’s IP address into the address bar to access the network settings page.  This address is typically http://192.168.0.1 or http://192.168.1.1

You will need to log in using your administrator credentials.

 

Step 2

From the left navigation menu click on the “Basic” tab and then select “Network“.

Once you are in the Network page take note of the “Static DNS” box to the right of the page.  In this section enter the IP addresses of our Smart DNS servers (you will find them under the Control Panel on our website) in the Primary and Secondary DNS server fields respectively.

Click “Save” when complete.

Step 3

Click the menu option on the left labeled “Advanced”. Then below that “DHCP/DNS”.

In this section, place a check in the box that says “Use Internal DNS”. This allows you to use the DNS server of your choice. Leave the next box empty, but put a checkmark in the box titled “Prevent DNS-rebind attacks”.

Place a check in the next box also, it is called “Intercept DNS port (UDP 53)”, this makes your DNS server unable to be overridden by another computer on your network.
