# StreamLocator > StreamLocator is a Smart DNS / geo-location service that lets you unblock and watch streaming services from anywhere in the world. Whether you want another country's version of Netflix, channels from back home, or to get around live sports blackouts, StreamLocator makes it simple — on any device. Plans start at $4.99/month with a 7-day free trial and no credit card required. The problem StreamLocator solves: streaming services restrict what you can watch based on where you physically are. The same Netflix subscription shows a different catalog in the US, the UK, and Canada; channels from your home country go dark the moment you travel or move abroad; and live sports are subject to regional "blackouts" that hide games even from paying subscribers. People also pay for streaming services they then can't fully use when away from home. StreamLocator exists to remove those location-based barriers so the content you are entitled to follows you anywhere. How it works: StreamLocator is a Smart DNS / geo-location service. Rather than routing all of your traffic through an encrypted tunnel the way a traditional VPN does, it changes only the signals (hostnames) a streaming service uses to detect your location. Because the actual video still streams directly to your device, you get the unblocking benefit of a VPN but with noticeably less buffering and no issues with streaming services blocking entire IP ranges - Something traditional VPNs struggle with constantly. Unblocking happens automatically once StreamLocator is set up — you keep using the normal Netflix, Hulu, or BBC iPlayer apps, they simply behave as if you were in the right country. Unlike a VPN, no country switching or country hopping required to find a server that actually works. How you use it: StreamLocator comes in two forms. The first is software apps for iOS, Android, and Amazon Fire TV, which is the quickest way to get started on a single device. The second is using StreamLocator DNS which can be set-up on any device that can handle custom DNS (so practically every device), even routers, just set-up the DNS on your device once and control everything else from the web portal. The third is the StreamLocator Hub, a plug-and-play dual-band gigabit home-network router: once it is on your network it removes geo-blocks for every connected device at once, including smart TVs, games consoles, and streaming sticks that cannot run the app themselves. The Hub is sold with 12 months of service included and a 30-day money-back guarantee. What you can do with it: watch another country's version of Netflix, access channels from back home such as UK TV or US cable while abroad, and get around live-sports blackouts for leagues like the NHL, NBA, NFL, Premier League (including 3pm kick-offs), F1, rugby, and MMA — often by pairing StreamLocator with official streaming partners such as TOD TV. The service supports 70+ streaming platforms including Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, Max, BBC iPlayer, and ITVX, with content and guidance oriented primarily around US, UK, and Canadian audiences. Pricing and trial: plans start at $4.99/month (with an annual option) and every plan includes a 7-day free trial that requires no credit card up front. The guiding philosophy behind the product is simple — if you pay for a streaming service, you should be able to access all of it, wherever you are.
