The customer service is good

The customer service is good. When the service stops working, they are quick to confirm that a server is down. 90% of the time is quickly fixed. Have had the service for years.

Customer Service average at best

Asked them to look into a streaming service from the UK that was not working (that previously worked fine) and was fobbed off with the standard "check your settings" impersonal copy/paste level 1 reply and they clearly hadn't bothered to read my message. Thus, I can't agree on quality of customer service. It works most of the time, but customer service is average at best.

SmartDNS Proxy is a great solution!

SmartDNS Proxy is a great solution to outsmart the useless Geo-Blocker. I always got a super fast response to my emails when having questions or issues (that usually being solved super fast).
I can strongly recommend SmartDNS Proxy that I am using now for many years.

Always helpful and speedy.

Always helpful and speedy when it comes to resolving issues. The support team are friendly, and provide updates as appropriate.

I rarely have to contact support, but when I do, they reply within 30 mins initially with troubleshooting advise, and then escalate an issue if it needs it.

Some of the best support I experience.

These guys are good. I recommend them!

A good and responsive service that does what I need it to do. Support is quick to respond in the rare case I need it. And resolution of any issues usually follows swiftly. Reasonably priced too. I recommend them.

I have been using SmartDNS Proxy for almos 7 years…

I have been using SmartDNS Proxy for several years now, and it has been an outstanding experience. The service is so seamless and consistent that most of the time, I completely forget it’s even running in the background.

On the rare occasions when an issue does arise, their support team is top-notch. They resolve problems quickly and, more importantly, they keep me updated throughout the entire process.

I highly recommend this service to anyone looking to bypass absurd regional restrictions and enjoy streaming content from any country without a hitch. It is well worth the investment.

5-star A1 service

Yet again today, Smart DNS proxy have shown their high standards of customer care when things go wrong.
As a customer of five or six years there are obviously times when the system has a blip. However I know that the minute I contact them they are immediately on the case, keep me updated and confirm when its sorted.
A 5-star A1 service at all times.

Always quick help. I am talking minutes and not even hours. A strong ambition from support person to get all details clarified and willingness to communicate an extra loop of e-mails. So far, after many years using Smart DNS Proxy, help has always been there and a fix has been found.
