How to Setup KeepSolid SmartDNS on Nvidia Shield?

Important note before you start changing DNS settings on Nvidia Shield

The process of setting up of DNS for your Nvidia Shield is really easy. However, before you start making any changes, you should save your original DNS settings. You’ll need them in case if you want to switch back to the original settings. 

To unblock streaming services with our KeepSolid SmartDNS app, you have to register your IP address. Check out how to manage your IP address in the KeepSolid SmartDNS App and your KeepSolid User Office here.

Besides, we recommend you to block Google DNS servers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) on your router, otherwise you may not be able to bypass geo-restrictions and access the desired content.
