If you have a high-speed Internet connection but notice that your web browsing speed isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be, then your problem may lie in the DNS. By optimizing your device's DNS records, you can find the fastest routes for your data packets to take when traveling the Internet. It won’t boost to your download/upload speed, but in some cases it can result in quite a noticeable improvement in web browsing time. At times, you may experience slow hiccups while trying to use the internet from your device. Sometimes, these problems can be attributed to your provider's DNS settings because your ISP may not always have the best DNS server speeds. Your default DNS server directly affects how fast you’ll be able to connect to a website. So choosing the fastest server according to your location will help speed up browsing. With Net Optimizer, you can find the fastest DNS server and connect to it with just one touch! So your browsing speed and gaming experience (ping and latency) can be improved. (But you should remember that DNS settings will not affect your internet download / upload speed but response time) Results Test results showed a 132.1 percent improvement from using Google's DNS servers over using the stock DNS servers, but in real world usage, it might not be exactly that much faster. Still, this one tweak might get you finally feeling like you have a blazing connection to the internet!

Trackers follow you everywhere — in apps, browsers, and emails — building profiles that advertisers and data brokers sell, and AI-powered attackers weaponize. Tracker Protection stops them. HOW IT WORKS Tracker Protection runs at the DNS layer. Every domain your device tries to look up routes through our encrypted DNS resolver. So every time an app or website tries to connect to a known tracker, our technology blocks the connection before the tracker can do anything. No scripts run. No data leaves. No profile gets built. — Blocks thousands of tracker domains before they collect your data — Encrypts every DNS lookup so your ISP, carrier, and Wi-Fi network can't see what sites and apps you're using — Works system-wide: every app, every browser, every email client on your device FREE — Default tracker blocking, always on — Encrypted DNS for every lookup PREMIUM Everything in Free, plus: — Activity dashboard: see what was blocked, on which sites — Per-vendor controls — Facebook, Google, Amazon, TikTok, Snapchat — choose protection level for each — Block email tracking pixels — Block fingerprinting scripts — Block cryptomining WHY DISCONNECT — No logs.
