OverPlay is celebrating Boxing Day with a promotion that exceeds anything we’ve seen them run in the past. That includes Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals. Everyone who signs up during the OverPlay Boxing Day Sale this week will receive SmartDNS + VPN for the price of SmartDNS alone. That means instead of paying $9.95 a month you can enjoy both the privacy protection of a VPN and the fast unblocking of geo restrictions through the SmartDNS for just $4.95 a month. Those who sign up for an annual account during the sale will get both services for just $4.16 a month. That’s by far the price price we’ve ever seen from OverPlay.
Let me take a moment to explain how Smart DNS works fr those who are new to the technology. When you use a SmartDNS service like OverPlay it masks your IP address so thata popular streaming services like Sling TV and channels like BBC iPlayer (a great site for the live sports) think you’re eligible to access their content. I don’t want to confuse anyone. Some sites are free to use like BBC while you’ll still need a paid subscription to services like Netflix and Hulu Plus. The magic of SmartDNS is being able to access popular sites and services from anywhere in the world with the geo-restrictions that would otherwise block your access.
Now let’s specifically look at how OverPlay stacks up to the competition. I use them and would highly recommend both their SmartDNS and VPN services. The difference between the two technologies is encryption. Their VPN service will encrypt your data along with masking your geo location. The VPN adds a layer of privacy protection but the encryption will slow down your Internet connection just a bit. In contrast, SmartDNS will unblock the geo-restrictions without any speed loss. OverPlay will help unblock sites like Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, Vudu, BBC iPlayer, iTV Player, Pandora, Facebook, Twitter and more.
As you can see, having access to both VPN and Smart DNS service will give you the privacy protection when you need it and open access to geo restricted content regardless of where you might travel in the future. You can read our OverPlay review to learn more about their service. Remember to sign up during their Boxing Day Sale to enjoy SmartDNS + VPN from just $4.16 a month.
