The Domain Name System (DNS) is the phonebook of the Internet. DNS resolves website domain names (www.website.com) to IP Addresses so you don’t have to remember the IP Address of every site you visit.

We setup each FlashRouter with Google DNS (8.8.8.8 , 8.8.4.4) and/or OpenDNS (208.67.220.220 , 208.67.222.222) to prevent your ISP DNS from leaking when connected to the FlashRouter.

By using a trusted DNS server like those listed below, or from your trusted VPN service provider, you can prevent ISP’S from compiling your browsing data and selling it to third parties without your consent.

We preset each FlashRouter with GoogleDNS and OpenDNS so there is no need to change the DNS servers unless you have reset the FlashRouter or want to use different DNS servers.

1. Scroll down to Network Address Server Settings (DHCP).
2. Enter in any combination of valid DNS servers into Statict DNS fields 1, 2, and 3.
3. Click Apply Settings at the bottom of the page.
4. Power cycle your FlashRouter off and back on.

We recommend checking to see if your DNS is leaking when using VPN.

Getflix offers a SmartDNS service for unblocking geo-restricted content without the encryption of a VPN service. SmartDNS routes DNS servers to different regions which “tricks” the website to allow access to previously restricted content.

SmartDNS does not change your IP Address or provide the encryption that a VPN connection does. This can result in faster speeds and unblocked content.

Login to Getflix’s website login page.

Visit Getflix’s DNS servers list page and note the DNS servers of the location you would like to access content from.

1. Scroll down to Network Address Server Settings (DHCP).
2. Enter in any combination of Getflix SmartDNS servers you noted into Static DNS fields 1 and 2.

When the router is fully booted back up visit your Getflix user dashboard and make sure your IP Address is registered with Getflix. If it is not click Force IP Update.

Once you are successfully registered you can now access your desired regional content on any device that connects to the FlashRouter’s network.
