The Liberador app offers three different modes to help you bypass geo-blocks, improve access to streaming platforms, and enhance your online privacy.
Each mode works differently and is optimized for specific situations.
SmartDNS – Best for Streaming on Home Networks
SmartDNS is the fastest option for streaming content.
SmartDNS reroutes only the DNS queries related to streaming services — without changing your IP address or encrypting your internet traffic.
Key benefits:
- Ideal for streaming services on Smart TVs, Apple TVs, consoles, and set-top boxes
- Offers the best performance with no speed loss
- Works on all devices in your home network (when IP is registered)
- Does not encrypt traffic — your public IP remains visible
Requires your IP address to be kept up to date, either through the Liberador app or the website
SmartVPN – Use SmartDNS Even on Restricted Networks
SmartVPN enables SmartDNS on networks that block or filter DNS.
SmartVPN is a special VPN mode that encrypts only your DNS traffic. It’s useful on networks that block or tamper with DNS settings, such as:
- Public Wi-Fi in hotels, airports, or cafés
- Mobile networks with content filtering
- Workplace or campus networks
Key benefits:
- Encrypts only DNS queries
- Enables SmartDNS when regular DNS doesn’t work
- Keeps fast streaming speeds since traffic is not fully tunneled
- Works great when SmartDNS fails due to network restrictions
Automatically keeps your IP address up to date for SmartDNS
VPN – Full Privacy and Unblocking
VPN is the most secure option — all your internet traffic is encrypted.
VPN mode sends all your traffic through Liberador’s secure VPN servers, encrypting everything and changing your IP address.
Key benefits:
- Full online privacy and security
- Bypass geo-blocks on all types of content (not just streaming)
- Works with apps and websites that are not supported by SmartDNS
- Slightly slower than SmartDNS due to encryption
