There are two ways to set up Smart DNS on iOS:
In this guide we will cover both approaches.
How to set up Smart DNS using a configuration profile
-
On your iPhone or iPad open up a browser window and download our Apple config file for LivingAbroad.tv Smart DNS from our link here.
OR alternatively scan the QR code using your iOS device:
-
You will be asked to confirm downloading the config profile - Select Allow
-
After it is finished, you will be shown this notification to confirm:
-
Next, visit the Settings app and press the new Profile Downloaded button below your name/account profile picture.
-
In the pop up window press Install in the top right, enter your passcode and press Install again during the warning. Do not worry, our service does not analyse your network traffic, it only routes requests to streaming platforms.
-
That's it! You can confirm you are set-up correctly by checking Settings > General > VPN & Device Management.
If you have followed the steps correctly, you should see Living Abroad Smart DNS appear under the "Restrictions and proxies" section on the page like below.
- Visit your Account page to ensure Smart DNS is now Active.
You can always change your DNS back to default settings by simply selecting the profile highlighted above (found in Settings > General > VPN & Device Management) and then switching it back to Automatic instead of "Living Abroad Smart DNS".
