What are the differences between a VPN and a smart DNS? VPN was designed with privacy in mind, while SmartDNS is designed for media streaming, without privacy related features.

I founded Holker IT in 2009, having previously spent 10 years as a network engineer (from leaving school). Initially, the company was just me and a computer, but we have grown significantly and now provide an end-to-end IT and security helpdesk support system for businesses large and small right across the UK. We also deliver user awareness training and have a CRM platform for managing IT problems. In our experience, internal IT departments are not particularly good at handling cyber risks, as they simply tend to fix problems with little to no security in mind....

Case in point: No, I am not Doctor Thomas, and No, I can’t help your pet cat....

My personal choice for Netflix is ExpressVPN....

My team and I have still compiled a list of VPNs you can try with Sky Go at no cost....
