Set up Smart DNS on your device
Pick your device and get the generic setup sequence for that device class - change DNS, register your IP, restart - plus the providers that document support for it. Router covers every device at once; the hardware-hub note is there for rented ISP routers.

The two steps everyone forgets
One: register your IP. Smart DNS services authorize your home IP address in their dashboard - skip it and nothing unblocks. Two: restart the device after the DNS change so it drops the cached resolvers. If your ISP changes your IP often, pick a provider with dynamic-DNS or an auto-update app (flagged on each review). Device-specific walkthroughs with screenshots live in the setup guides.
// FAQ
Which devices can use Smart DNS?
Every row is a researched provider with dated facts. Free text would compare guesswork against facts.
What if my device hides the DNS setting?
Then the router is the way: one change covers the whole network. The router guide walks through it for common models.
Do I need the provider app?
No. Smart DNS is a device setting; the provider only needs your IP registered, and dynamic DNS handles changing addresses.
