What’s the difference between SmartDNS and VPN Unlimited
If you are even slightly familiar with VPN applications, you probably know that they also allow you to bypass blocking and watch geo-restricted video content. What’s the difference then? Why choose SmartDNS over a VPN app? The answer is simple, as it all depends on your needs. These applications are helpful in their own situations, as the whole bunch of their features are not similar at all. Let’s have a closer look at their features, taking VPN Unlimited and KeepSolid SmartDNS as an example.
- VPN app is a security and privacy solution first, video-unblocking second. VPN Unlimited, for instance, uses highly secure encryption methods to protect your private data and keep your online traffic untraceable for unauthorized third parties. SmartDNS doesn’t hide your IP address nor protect your sensitive info. Also, you can use VPN for torrenting.
- SmartDNS app, in turn, has been created especially for video streaming. This freedomizer tool is faster than VPN Unlimited. Since VPN encrypts your online traffic and routes it through secure VPN servers, it slows your speed a little – a small price to pay for your security. But when it comes to enjoying TV shows on your Apple TV, you’re probably only interested in watching them at the best possible connection speed.
