Some websites use geo DNS to route traffic to the nearest server based on your IP address. This helps them optimize speed and performance, but it also means your DNS settings can affect how trustworthy your connection looks.
With SOAX, you can choose how DNS is resolved when using proxies.
Two DNS resolution options:
1. Node (default)
DNS is resolved based on the location of the proxy node you’re using.
Most natural behavior
Matches IP location
Best for avoiding suspicion
Example: If you're using a German proxy, geo DNS will route your request to a nearby server, just like a real user from Germany.
2. Server
DNS is resolved via the SOAX gateway server.
Faster DNS resolution
May trigger suspicion on some websites if the DNS and IP location don't match
Example: Even if you're using a German proxy, the request might be routed through a server close to our gateway (e.g., in the US).
Need to switch DNS mode?
By default, we use the Node setting to ensure natural, location-matching behavior.
If you'd like to change it to Server, just contact our Support — we’ll update the setting for you.
