CactusVPN recently added a new service for members who want to avoid geo-restrictions but don’t need an encrypted connection. They are introducing their own Smart DNS solution. You can purchase it alone or along with VPN. Smart DNS costs $4.99 a month or $6.99 a month with VPN. CactusVPN is currently offering a 7 day free trial of Smart DNS. A good chance to test the new service. There is no credit card required.
CactusVPN has a comprehensive list of media sites and services that are available through Smart DNS. The service supports a wide variety of devices including Windows, Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod, Xbox 360, PS3, Roku, Apple TV, DD-WRT / Tomato routers, media players and more. Here’s a list of video sites by device.
We enjoy their VPN as well. The difference in cost to add VPN is only $2 a month. Less if you purchase a long term account. We would buy the combo plan. Here’s a full breakdown of their pricing:
- Smart DNS + VPN – $6.99 a month
- Smart DNS + VPN – $17.99 a quarter
- Smart DNS + VPN – $31.99 for 6 months
- Smart DNS + VPN – $54.99 a year
- Smart DNS Only – $4.99 a month

The Smart DNS + VPN gives you access to their servers in United States, United Kingdom and the Netherlands. Along with a nice VPN client with advanced features like app killer. Helping protect your privacy in case the VPN connection ever drops. All purchases come with a 30 day money back guarantee.
