How to use IPHush on Samsung TV
- Set up IPHush on your router
Pick your router: router guides. Family and Pro include 1 router.
Then on the TV
Samsung TVs cannot install VPN apps, so IPHush reaches them through your router.
- Open Settings → General (or Connection on newer models) → Network → Open Network Settings.
- Choose Wireless and pick your router's Wi-Fi, or Wired for a cable.
- If you ever typed a DNS server by hand, set it back: Network Status → IP Settings → DNS Setting → Obtain automatically.
- Restart the streaming app so it sees the new location.
Smart DNS: Network Status → IP Settings → DNS Setting → Enter manually, and enter the first IPHush DNS address from your account (Samsung has one field). Then turn off IPv6 under Network → Expert Settings.
Works the same on: Samsung, Samsung The Freestyle.
Samsung TV VPN: questions
Can I install a VPN app on Samsung TV?
You do not need one: IPHush reaches the TV 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 Samsung TV?
Family or Pro: each includes 1 router and Smart DNS, with all 57 locations.
