Normally do VPN but they don't always do the job... Have heard of SmartDNS but not sure what the crack is with that?

I just add 2 SmartDNS servers to my router and that's it job done. I can switch say between S Sport, DAZN Canada, and my regular UK stuff without having to change anything or connect a VPN. Not only that I can keep my Internet speed rather than the drops that come with using a VPN as I'm only changing the DNS Servers nothing else.

Can't seem to work this out, how would I do this on my Android/Fire TV stick?
 
cornorth said:
Tried that on my android, and followed the guide etc but says
Your DNS is not configured properly. Please make sure you have set up your DNS in order to use our services
Restarted my phone and pretty sure I've followed the instructions properly?

Yeah you need to have your DNS servers from a SmartDNS provider have you got them?
 
TheSource said:
You need to activate your IP with them. And then add their DNS Servers. The IP Registered with them must match the IP your firestick is connected too.

Pretty sure it's all activated apart from the DNS servers. Gonna come back to that another time...
Do you or anyone have SonyLIV and/or Vidio? Massive respect for finding these and the deals. How many screens can you watch them on at once?

Sonyliv you can pay via Amazon India and I think they allow 5. Vidio is 1.

Revolut does have an actual address, but because you can have local currency on it you could/can actually be in that country as far as anyone is concerned,
The added benefit of revolut is you can have a virtual one time card that self destructs after the payment , thus preventing fraud

There are loads more benefits to using revolut, but that's probably the two main ones for this purpose

i use revolut: saves me taking currency abroad. i just load euros from my revolut app and pay in euros using the card. on the plus side i dont really need a safe at the hotel. oh and you can pre load gambling on the exchange rate getting worse. you do jump through hoops to get the card but security is important .
 
IIRC, took me about 5 mins to prove my identity and apply for a card.
I have cards for my kids too, I can set a weekly/daily spending limit, and a single transaction limit, and get alerts each time their card is used, and what for.
The big plus for me is the multi-currency aspect.

Can't use DNS/VPN installed directly on to a SQi Q router apparently?

What is a SQi Q router. Not sure what you mean. Unless you mean Sky Q router? Some main providers routers lock their DNS from being changed. You have 2 options use a third party router or add the DNS Servers on the Device itself.
 
Yeah that's what I meant, tried adding them to my devices after getting IP activated and confirmed but nothing happens after adding servers, restarted and everything.

Yeah he needs to activate his IP on the SmartDNS Website and then add the DNS Servers to his device.

Download the S Sport app. Connect to a Turkish VPN and setup a fresh account and follow it through until Payment. Has to be on the app.
