"Does a Smart DNS Proxy Really Improve Streaming Speeds Without a VPN?"
Hey folks! So I’ve been testing a Smart DNS proxy lately to watch stuff that’s usually blocked in my region. Works pretty well, but I’m curious—does it *actually* speed up streaming compared to a VPN?
From what I’ve seen, a Smart DNS proxy doesn’t encrypt traffic like a VPN, so yeah, less lag. But is it consistent? Sometimes my streams still buffer, lol.
Also, does it work with *all* platforms? Netflix? Hulu? BBC iPlayer? Or is it hit or miss?
Would love to hear your experiences. Is a Smart DNS proxy worth it for speed, or should I just stick with my VPN and deal with the slowdown?
Cheers!
