Smart DNS (SDNS) services enable their users to avoid geographic restrictions to content (i.e., geoblocking) with minimal internet quality of service overhead. While previous research has shown that usage of SDNS has numerous associated privacy risks, the security and privacy perceptions of users of SDNS are unexplored. In this paper, we perform a survey of n = 63 SDNS users, finding that many have limited understandings both of how these systems work and their overall security/privacy properties. As a result, many users put undue trust in purveyors of SDNS services and in the security they provide.

User Perceptions of the Privacy and Usability of Smart DNS

今天分享的是一篇从用户角度分析智能DNS服务（Smart DNS）隐私和可用性的文章。文章主要由乔治城大学和乔治华盛顿大学的研究人员合作完成。Smart DNS服务能够“智能地”识别受限制地域的解析请求，并返回受限制地域内的代理服务器的IP给客户端。
