FAQ
Does UnGeo Smart DNS work on Chrome OS?
Yes. Chrome OS lets you set custom name servers for Wi-Fi or Ethernet connections, which works with UnGeo Smart DNS.
Do I need to install an app on my Chromebook?
No. You can configure UnGeo Smart DNS directly in Chrome OS network settings.
Do I need to change Secure DNS in Chrome browser too?
Usually no. For Smart DNS setup, configure the network connection name servers in Chrome OS settings. If Secure DNS causes issues, you can set it to use your current service provider or turn it off.
Can I use UnGeo on both Wi-Fi and Ethernet?
Yes, but each connection has its own DNS settings. Configure the connection you actually use for streaming.
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.
