Configure My Smart DNS for Xbox 360

This guide will show you how to configure CyberGhost Smart DNS for your Xbox 360.

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.
