This is a guide on how to change the DNS setting on Kindle Fire HD8, so that one can watch Amazon Instant Videos in Malaysia. This is for advance users who already have a DNS service subscription.
Important:
If you want to purchase Amazon Instant Videos, you will need to have a valid Amazon account and Kindle Malaysia gift card. If you want to watch unlimited Amazon Prime streaming video, you will also need to have an Amazon Prime subscription.
You will also need to have your own DNS service subscription for this to work, such as unlocator.

4. Tap and hold on your WiFi settings, then tap on the Advanced Settings below
5. Tap the box for Use Static IP
6. At the dialog box, input the following:
- For IP address, enter the IP address from step 3. In this example here, it is 192.168.99.137
- Under the Router, enter the first three group of IP numbers exactly the same as the IP address, and enter 1 for the last digit. So, for the example here, the Router should be 192.168.99.1
- Use the DNS as provided by your DNS provider for DNS 1 and DNS 2.
For example, using Unlocator DNS service provider, set
DNS 1: 185.37.37.37
