How to Set Up KeepSolid SmartDNS Proxy on Samsung TV

This manual outlines the basic steps for setting up KeepSolid SmartDNS on Samsung TV. We can’t guarantee smooth work of our service on each Samsung TV, because of a big variety of Samsung TV models and region-related hardware limitations.

Important notice before you change Smart TV DNS settings 

Before you make any changes, make sure to make a note of your original Samsung Smart TV DNS settings. You will need them when you want to revert to the original settings. You can write them down or take a picture with your smartphone. 

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.

Besides, 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.

How to change region on Samsung Smart TV

Some apps are only available in certain regions, so to access them you may need to change the region of your Samsung Smart TV.

Note: In some cases changing your Samsung Smart TV region can’t help you unblock all the apps you want. The reason is that certain applications are locked down to the serial number of the TV model. As long as this limitation is based on Smart TV’s hardware, it can’t be overcome.
