Smart DNS affiliate programs
Webmaster deals and referral systems of every listed provider - terms from the official program pages.
Short answer: Smart DNS Proxy is our top-rated Smart DNS affiliate program as of 2026-09-23 (8/10), from $2.85/mo, 14-day free trial without a card.
Every listed provider was checked for a partner program on 2026-09-23: program pages, affiliate terms and platform datasheets, archived captures where the live pages block datacenter requests. Two separate worlds exist here - classic webmaster deals with revenue-share ladders (run by the big VPN brands) and the simpler referral systems of the standalone DNS specialists. Both are below, with the terms that actually decide earnings.

// Referral systems (9)
No dashboards or net-revenue math here - these are built-in refer-a-friend mechanics or programs whose terms are not public. Entries marked "terms not public" have a working referral system but publish no rates - what the operator hides, this page flags instead of guessing.
// FAQ
Do Smart DNS providers have affiliate programs?
The established ones do - the big standalone brands and most large VPNs run public programs. Many small standalone services do not: the segment partly runs on word of mouth, which the no-program list documents honestly.
What commissions are typical?
The market pays percentage-based revenue share on signups, often 25-50% for VPN bundles and lower flat rates for standalone DNS. Terms change - the program page is always the source of truth.
Do affiliate rankings here influence provider scores?
No. Provider scores come from published criteria only (coverage, reliability, speed, devices, value, support, privacy). A provider can score poorly and still have a generous program, and the other way round.
