Nintendo Switch VPN: questions

Can I install a VPN app on Nintendo Switch?

You do not need one: IPHush reaches the console through your router, and every device behind the router is protected. A router counts as one connection.

What is Smart DNS?

Smart DNS changes the location your streaming apps see, without an app and without a router. It changes location and does not encrypt; for full privacy, use the router. It comes with Family (1 home network) and Pro (3 home networks) and works only for the home address you register.

Why restart the streaming app?

Streaming apps remember where you were. After changing location, restart the app (or unplug the TV for 10 seconds) so it sees the new one.

Which plan do I need for Nintendo Switch?

Family or Pro: each includes 1 router and Smart DNS, with all 57 locations.
