Unlocator vs Unblock-Us – Best Smart DNS Service 2015
Unlocator vs Unblock-Us Best Smart DNS Proxy Service in 2015
What is Smart DNS?
To get a better understanding of how Unlocator and Unblock-us work, you have to know what Smart DNS does. There are mainly two methods which allow you to unblock geoblocked channels. One is VPN. The other is Smart DNS. Unlike VPN, Smart DNS does not change your IP address. It also does not encrypt your traffic. The result is a much faster way to access geo-restricted content. Smart DNS is also compatible with most streaming devices. VPN on the other hand can only be installed on selected devices due to the lack of VPN clients on most streaming platforms.

Unlocator vs Unblock-US: Best Smart DNS Proxy Service in 2015
Personally I do prefer Unlocator for two reasons. They offer excellent customer support and they have a 14 days money back guarantee refund policy. That means you can get your money back in case you’re not totally satisfied with the Smart DNS proxy service. Unblock-US offer a great solution to unblock Netflix, Hulu and other geoblocked content outside USA. Unblock-Us are also currently running a promotion which allows you to sign up for 0.99 cents only.

unlocate us has very good support and easy to use software the auto configures windows. smart dns proxy has very poor support and easy to use which for someone who has had a stroke is very important
How safe is it to use unlocator and is it worth keeping my security service that protects me on the web
Hi Crystal. Unlocator is totally safe. All your traffic remains untouched. They do operate under Danish laws and have a clear privacy policy you can check on their website.
Thank you for the amazing article, both companies provide you with great SmartDNS services, and I can promise you I have test many of them, I can name them easily; Unlocater, SmartDNS Proxy, TrickBytes, SmartyDNS, BlockLess and Unotelly.
I have test all of them in my PS4, XBox 1, Apple TV 3Gen and my beast UHD Samsung TV which comes with Netflix UHD TV series like House Of Cards, Breaking Bad and DareDevil. I have tested all of them and thanks for Netflix Test channels that shows you how long does it take to reach 1080P and which resolution. With keeping in mind that I have 50mbps connection. The test took me about a very very long time to experience and thanks to (4K Netflix Channel Test) to determine whether it can handle or cant handle. Keep in your mind that my location is Middle East. So someone of them couldn’t give me the promised speed and connection they claim in their website except Unlocator. With Unlocator it takes a minutes and half to reach 4K and that due to the streaming technology Netflix Uses. This is so far what my feed back about unlocator.
Hi Mozef. Thanks for your feedback. I’m sure other readers will find it very useful.
I am in Mexico and wish to watch the major USA channels as well as NETFLIX and HULU. Is this possible with either or both of these?
Hi Kathy. You unblock American Channels including Netflix and Hulu in Mexico using either Unblock-US or Unlocator.
