Use this tutorial to learn how to set up your Nintendo Switch with MediaStreamer by changing your DNS settings. Note that changing DNS settings can enhance your streaming experience, but won’t offer you the full privacy protection of a VPN.

Get your DDNS hostname
Note: Dynu’s standard free service is perfectly sufficient for most users. You do not need to create more than the four free hostnames in order to use MediaStreamer.Go to https://www.dynu.com and click Create Account.

Create your account to receive the account verification email from Dynu.

Open the link in the verification email then log in to your account on https://www.dynu.com and select DDNS Services.

Click on + Add to add a DDNS service.

If you do not have a hostname already, enter your desired hostname in Option 1 and click + Add. This is the recommended option for users who are not familiar with domain names.
If you already have your own domain name, enter your domain name in Option 2 and click +Add.

Once done, you will see your hostname and your current public IP. Uncheck both Wildcard Alias and Enable IPv6 Address and click Save.

And that’s it! Your DDNS hostname is set up and ready to be used!
