FAQ
Does UnGeo Smart DNS work on Ubuntu?
Yes. Ubuntu lets you manually set DNS servers for Wi-Fi or wired network connections, which works with UnGeo Smart DNS.
Do I need to install an app on Ubuntu?
No. You can configure UnGeo Smart DNS directly in Ubuntu Network settings.
Should I use Wi-Fi or Network settings?
Use Wi-Fi settings if your Ubuntu device connects wirelessly. Use Network settings if you use Ethernet.
Should I configure IPv6 DNS too?
For most users, IPv4 DNS is enough. If your network uses IPv6 and you notice issues, you may need to adjust IPv6 separately.
Where do I find my UnGeo DNS addresses?
Your UnGeo DNS addresses are shown inside your Client Area. Use only the DNS servers assigned to your account.
