Smarty DNS

[snorbs]

I just got my renewal notice from smarty.
However when I try to look at my account on their website I get an error message (have tried various devices) saying site cant be reached or safari cant open page because it could not connect the server.
I also tried the app and it says the certificate for this server is invalid.

I normally use smart dns but subscribe to smarty only as a back up.

anyone any idea?

Hi snorbs,

Clear the Cookies and Cache for the SmartyDNS site...........then try again

[snorbs]

tried that still the same

[Enrique]

Hi snorbs,
Are you using Safari to access SmartyDNS on all devices ..................

If so
Try another Browser Google Chrome...........

SmartDNS is a " grey " (my term) site and current Browsers will flag these sites as "Potential Security Issue"

You could lower the Browser Security........not recommended

[snorbs]

i have tried chrome , edge and safari on different devices

[snorbs]

to be clear its smarty dns i have an issue with not smartdns which I can access fine

[Enrique]

Hi,
Missed my typo in previous Post..........

SmartyDNS is the one that my Browser flags up a "Potential Security Issue"

Leave it for now and try again later..........

having had a look on social media I am not sure this company / website is still active
they have my credit card details for renewing a service that maybe no longer exists
anyone else still using them?
not sure how I can stop them taking the money if there is no way to contact them / cancel the subscription

Hi snorbs,


www.smartydns.com is currently down............

Webpage has been like this for a few weeks now...
smartdnsproxy still working

[snorbs]

yes the problem is I dont want to pay USD 50 for a 2 year renewal to Smarty DNS if you cnat even contact the company and the website no longer works

Simple solution - stick with SmartDNSproxy - no need for a backup.

yes I understand that, my issue is how do i stop them taking the renewal fee?
will i be able to claim refund via the bank card card? Its a Spanish bank card.

I used Smarty as a backup for a couple of years but I changed to Unlocator because Smarty was starting to be very unreliable.
As far as I remember taking out another long term subscription was not automatic.

Another point is that it is not necessary to pay the full amount for these services. I pay 43 USD for two years with unlocator and 19.99 USD for 1 year with SmartDNS. The trick is to take out a free trial, then wait for them to send you the offers, which they do on a regular basis
