UnoDNS delivers a cloud based Smart DNS service and its servers are connected to 1000 Mbit nodes to ensure high speeds even at peak times. In addition, the service has backup servers in place to deliver uninterrupted connectivity and uses an advanced algorithm that provides high speed connection to streaming providers like Netflix. All these features ensure that you would be able to access your favorite streaming services without experiencing any kind of speed loss, buffering problems or downtimes.

Privacy Settings

UnoDNS protects its customers from DNS poisoning which is used by criminals to deliver spam and malicious advertisements to web users. In addition, the company is committed to protect real IP addresses and other personal details of its customers from streaming service providers. The company will even protect customer details from third parties unless its service is used for illegal activities.

Supported Operating Systems

UnoDNS works with an astounding range of devices and operating systems such as Windows (Vista, XP, 7, 8), iPhones, iPads, Android Smartphones and tablets, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS2, PS3, Wii, Apple TV, Boxee Box, Roku, Google TV, LG Smart TV, Sonos, Amazon Kindle Fire, WD TV Live, Samsung TV and Blu-Ray Player, Dynex Blu-Ray Player, Panasonic TV and Blu-Ray Player, Sony TV and Blu-Ray Player, Toshiba TV and Blu-Ray Player as well as routers from D-Link, Linksys/Cisco, Buffalo, Apple Airport, Netgear, Bell, TP-Link, Simens and Actiontec. The company provides its own App (UnoHelper) for Windows and Android that make it incredibly easy to change DNS and update IPs. Other systems do require manual configuration but the process is extremely simple thanks to the detailed instructions provided by the company.
