Domain Name System (DNS) transforms domain names into a numeric IP address, which enables us to surf and stream the required information on our device. You can also find the DNS settings on most smart TVs. But, the drawback is that you can’t access the content outside the specific region. You must change the DNS settings on your Samsung Smart TV or other TVs to access it.
