Using a VPN? Use Your Provider’s VPN DNS

Example: VPN DNS for Xtream Codes
Xtream Codes URL address:
http://vpn.dream-4k.coOTT Navigator Not Connecting? Quick Fixes
- Connect fails or 0 channels: check the URL address, Login and Password (they are case-sensitive), and that your subscription is active.
- Use http://, not https:// in the URL address.
- Enter only the server URL (with the port) in URL address, not a full M3U link.
- Loading is slow or the list is too long: after loading, use Choose categories to keep only the groups you watch.
