UnblockUs is a leading SmartDNS provider that is able to unblock over 100 channels allowing users from all over the world to watch TV, stream videos and music that is typically blocked in those regions. Hulu, Amazon Video, HBO, BBC iPlayer, CBS, Discovery, National Geographic, Kids and Sports channels (NFL, ESPN…), Pandora, MTV, Vevo and many more are available with only 1 subscription. They also support a great number of devices: desktop, mobile, routers, streaming boxes, playstations, Google TV, Roku, Apple TV and many more.
Considering that Unblock-Us requires no payment information to sign-up for their 7 days free trial, just enter your email and check if you can access the channel of your choice.
Unblock-Us is not in any way a VPN company, however. SmartDNS differs from VPN in that it offers no encryption and it doesn’t actually replace your IP address. SmartDNS replaces only certain DNS related data to trick websites into thinking your are located in a specific region. There is no software required to setup SmartDNS proxy service as well. You just need to change your DNS settings in your device, register your IP with Unblock-Us and you are good to go.
Their VPN section describes a technology called Smart VPN that only uses some aspects of PPTP protocol to bypass securely configured internet connections (satellite, 3g/4g, public Wi-Fi, hotels etc) that normally don’t allow 3rd party settings for a number of reasons. SmartVPN only encrypts DNS related data and does not in any way encrypt traffic, hence, offering absolutely no security.
So while Unblock-Us is an excellent choice for multimedia streaming, they are a no-go for privacy oriented users.
