6. Use a Smart DNS service (for geo-restrictions)
Many online services got smart and detected VPN traffic without too much effort. That’s why sometimes using a VPN won’t work as intended, especially if it lacks obfuscated servers (ones that bypass VPN blocking).
A Smart DNS service lets you access geo-restricted content by eplacimg your DNS address with one of its servers’ addresses, stripping geo-location data from it.
We hope that our quick guide helped you unblock websites on your WiFi router and access any content you desire.
Remember, if a website is blocked by your ISP or geo-restricted, there’s nothing you can change in your PC’s configuration to make it accessible again other than using third-party specialized tools such as a VPN or a Smart DNS.
