Configure My Smart DNS for PlayStation 3

This guide will show you how to configure CyberGhost Smart DNS for your PlayStation 3.

Note: Smart DNS works differently from a VPN connection. It changes how some DNS requests are handled, but it doesn't encrypt your internet traffic or provide the same privacy and security protections as the CyberGhost VPN app.
