I'm in a restricted network and I want to setup a smart DNS server for personal use. I don't want to use any VPN services since it required setup on my Windows 8. I don't want to encrypt internet connection but only to geolocate to watch Netflix and Hulu.
Is there any application that can perform this smart DNS?
Can you give me a headstart so I can check and probably set it up myself?

I found guide to set this up using a US based VPS running DNSmasq and haproxy and requiring a OpenWRT based router (though should be possible with DD-WRT also) running at your home.

You can use Overplay SmartDNS on Windows 8 without having to setup any other applications.

He's asking how to setup one, not how to use one. – Devator – 2012-11-13T19:51:23.103

Maybe a proxy is the right thing for you instead of using a VPN (and of cource it's easier to use). This is a very simple tutorial for squid you can use: http://www.debiantutorials.com/installing-and-configuring-squid-proxy-server/

Welcome to Super User! Whilst this may theoretically answer the question, it would be preferable to include the essential parts of the answer here, and provide the link for reference.

1DNS isn't the only thing used in geolocation. In fact, many services that are restricted to a given reason often inspect your IP address to determine your eligibility. A VPN service with an endpoint in your desired country is the only reasonably reliable way to get around the restrictions you describe. – Goyuix – 2012-11-13T21:57:33.520
