SMART DNS Proxy

Works great. We watched live BBC and on demand stuff from CH4 at the weekend.

If BBC do block them, it doesn't take them long to be up and running again.

Still no problems here with using ibVPN.

But also subscribing to Britbox now, since it's easier and you get HD picture quality.
