Watch Star Sports outside India – Smart DNS Solution

When you enter the Star Sports website and try to watch any video, this message gets displayed “This video is not working or not available in your region.” Smart DNS offers a solution that allows you to bypass regional restrictions and stream Star Sports anywhere across the world. Once you set up your streaming device with Smart DNS, your real location will automatically be hidden from Star Sports and other geoblocked websites. I’ve summarize Smart DNS features here.

Smart DNS enables you to watch geoblocked content from different countries at the same time. Stream Star Sports, BEIN Sports, WWE Network, UFC, and NFL Game Pass using the same Smart DNS configuration.
To watch games online you need a fast Internet connection. Smart DNS does not consume your Internet speed.
Smart DNS works on all your streaming devices. This includes iPhone, Apple TV, iPad, Android, Smart TV, Roku, and Amazon Fire TV.
Local websites are not affected by Smart DNS.
ISP policies such as Transparent Proxies and DNS Hijacking stop Smart DNS from functioning properly. Make sure your ISP does not use these methods.

A good Smart DNS proxy service has at least 100 streaming channels. When you visit a Smart DNS proxy service website, skim through its list of unblocked services. Unlocator, for example, offers approx. 159 unlocked Internet channels. You can try their service through a free 7-day trial and video/setup guides.

Watch Star Sports outside India – VPN Solution

VPN takes a different approach to unblock streaming services abroad. It completely changes your IP address so that it seems to belong to the country where the service is available. So if you want to unblock Star Sports, sign up for a VPN service. Install the VPN app. Select an Indian VPN server. Watch Star Sports. Let’s have a look at VPN’s other advantages.

The VPN server you choose dictates the services and apps you can access. If you choose an American VPN server for instance, you can unblock all US channels. (Netflix, Hulu, CBS All Access, FXNow..)
As mentioned above, your IP address changes according to the origin of the VPN server you choose. In some cases, this can prevent you from using certain local online services.
Your Internet speed does get a hit. That’s because your traffic gets encrypted. This process protects your online privacy.
DNS Hijacking and Transparent proxies fail to stop VPN from working.
Iphone, iPad, Android, Mac/PC have their own VPN apps which are provided by the VPN service you choose. If you’d like to stream Internet channels on other devices, make sure you own a VPN enabled router. That’s because VPN can’t be directly set up on devices like Nexus Player, Apple TV, Chromecast, Amazon Fire TV Stick.

Hello all,

I ahve tried ExpressVPN and NordVPN. While ExpressVPN have good customer service and easy to use app, the vpn is slow. To India, trying to watch startsports and via usa. NordVPN is the same. I tried speed test from here in the UK to various countries dropped from 40mbps (no vpn) to less than 1. Are the sites saying how good the VPNs are sponsord by the companies?
Its very clear when doin the test that there is a significant drop. I tried the fe suggestions, but in the end gave up. I just can’t find a decent VPN to watch StarSports.

Hi,
Which VPN is best (by speed) for getting I.P. address in India? I want to use it to watch for video streaming like Hotstar, ErosNow etc.

I have already tried NordVPN, and I am not happy with the speed.

Can anybody give me the idea about the speed of different VPN provider? It will help me a lot in deciding the VPN provider.

  You’re setup is all correct. Apparently there are no more packages on Star Sports as they will be broadcasting for free.

    Cheers mate. I noticed that a few days ago when I was on their twitter feed saying the BPL (man why do that use BPL) is free from streaming. All set up here when testing their other live stream. Lets see what happens tomorrow :)
    
    Note I am the same person who posted the question last week, just on a diff computer, and cheers for the website! Keep the good work up.
