  1. Sign in to your Pingura account and go to “My account ← DNS settings”.
  2. IP Enter and register your current internet (you can get your IP from that section’s page or from IP lookup sites).
  3. Take the two Smart DNS addresses: DNS 1 and DNS 2.
The service only works from the registered IP. Whenever your internet IP changes (for exampleً after turning the modem off and on), register it again.

Step 2: Enter the DNS on the console
