What would be the best way to go if I want to unblock american channels in my Roku 3? Can I use smart DNS or VPN on a router for that purpose? Thanks for the video, I finally understand the difference!

Question : When you sign up with a VPN service like IP Vanish do you know how that work`s with multiple devices such as PC, Mac, Android TV like I have ?

i have question, because I am confused, i stream from www.beinsports.com/ar/, this website allow to the people. who in arabic countries, at begin have used vpn, then i have changend to smart Dns, but the DNS server from Germany , nevertheless it works
but when i use normaly arabic dns, it doesn't work, why ?

This is much better explained than other videos on the topic. However I still don't understand smart DNS. My device will contact the (normal) DNS server only to get the IP of the server that hosts the website. After that my device will create a connection directly to the website server, which will see my IP and thus my location. There is no connection from the DNS server to the website server (only occasionally back for update the IP that belongs to it's domain), right? If there were, then it would be a proxy server. So what is the "smart" part of the smart DNS and what's the difference to a proxy server?

Why can't services like Netflix block SmarDNS like they block VPN?

thanks for the explanation. I already have already downloaded VPN. I have accessed most tv stations around the world through the fastest servers, but my one problem is the US channels! I connect through VPN to US fastest server but most website ask for registration and monthly subscription!? as far as i recall, there are free channels in the US! any ideas?
