// FAQ
Is VPN-bundled Smart DNS as good as standalone?
Rarely. Bundled DNS features are narrower: one large VPN documents only Netflix Originals and a handful of US services, while standalone specialists list hundreds of channels. Treat bundled DNS as a free extra, not a reason to subscribe.
Why choose a bundle at all?
If you already pay for the VPN, the DNS extra is free and covers the Smart TV that cannot run a VPN app. The DNS also streams at full speed where the VPN throttles.
Did any big VPN drop Smart DNS?
Yes - a top-3 consumer VPN discontinued its Smart DNS feature in February 2026, citing limited demand. It is listed in our discontinued archive so nobody configures a dead feature.
