🛡️ Privacy and Safety

This tool performs changes at the system level. Before you run any script, the tool creates a backup of your current network configuration. If you encounter issues, you can restore your settings using the menu. No personal data leaves your computer during this process. The scripts only modify Windows settings that you already have access to.

💡 Troubleshooting

If the program fails to start, check the following:

• Ensure your Windows 11 installation is up to date.
• Confirm your antivirus software has not blocked the file. Sometimes, security software restricts programs that make system-level changes. You may need to create an exception for this folder.
• Ensure you have administrator rights. If you use a work computer, your IT department might block these actions.
• Check that you are connected to the internet. Some features require a connection to verify DNS settings.

🚀 Optimization Tips

For the best results, use these settings:

• Choose the "Gaming" profile if you notice delays in your online games.
• Select the "Privacy" profile if you want to limit how much information Windows sends to their servers.
• Keep your AdGuard Home DNS settings active to stop ads from loading in your browser and apps.
