Internet Optimizer

Can someone give a more detailed explanation of Internet Optimiser. What are the alternatives DNS proposed, How can I get back to the original settings, what is the meaning of changing the DNS of the Internet connection?

Thanks for a reply

Internet Optimizer creates a backup -> look at backup list.

After running the tool and clicking Apply in the results screen, normally a new button is created there to go back to your original settings.

I did attempt to re-instate the DNS backup file and it did not work, the new 192.etc address was still active on my system, I even re-booted the modem, no joy.

If living anywhere other than the US, changing this address may have some unintended consequences , for instance, I now cannot log onto the Australian Amazon site for my Ebooks as logging in defaults me to the US site with no way of changing it to the AU site. How do I fix this, does anyone have any ideas?

I hope you have a recent system restore point at you disposal, so you can restore it.

Changing DNS settings should not have any effects relating to logging into servers like Amazon. I think you may be confusing this with VPN, which this is not. If you wish to undo the DNS changes, you can simply restore the System Restore Point.
