How to Setup KeepSolid SmartDNS for PlayStation 3?
Important notes before you start changing DNS settings on PS3
- If you want to setup any US application on your PlayStation 3, you need to have the US PSN account. After creating the US PSN account, you should use it with the PlayStation Store, find the app you need, and install it on your device. If you already have the US app downloaded on your PS3, you need to reset settings in this app. In order to do so, please hold down Start and Select while opening the app.
- To unblock streaming services with our KeepSolid SmartDNS app, you have to register your IP address. Check out how to manage your IP address in the KeepSolid SmartDNS App and your KeepSolid User Office here.
- One more important note is about your original DNS settings. So, before you start making any changes on your PlayStation 3, we highly recommend you to save your original DNS settings. You’ll need them in case if you want to switch back to the original settings.
- Also, we recommend you to block Google DNS servers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) on your router, otherwise you may not be able to bypass geo-restrictions and access the desired content.
