🔰 Administrator Privileges and PowerShell Check:

Ensures seamless execution by verifying that the script is run with administrator privileges and within a PowerShell environment. This script leverages PowerShell for applying DNS providers.

⚒️ Comprehensive Network Maintenance Tasks:

• Flushing DNS Cache: Clears the DNS resolver cache for improved performance.
• Registering DNS: Refreshes DHCP leases and re-registers DNS names.
• Releasing IP Address: Releases the current IP address configuration.
• Renewing IP Address: Obtains a new IP address configuration from a DHCP server.
• Resetting Winsock: Resets the Winsock catalog to its default state.
• Setting DNS Provider: Allows users to choose their preferred DNS Provider for enhanced browsing security and speed.

🌐 DNS Provider Options:

📈 Bufferbloat Optimization:

We have integrated a powerful script from Khorvie Tech to tackle bufferbloat issues. Bufferbloat occurs when network latency increases due to excessive buffering, especially during high-bandwidth usage.

Features:

• Advanced Registry Changes: Applies tweaks to optimize TCP/IP settings for lower latency.
• Compatible with Modern Windows Versions: Ensures smooth operation with the latest Windows builds.
• Easy to Use: The script runs seamlessly as part of the NSR process.

Testing Results:

To verify the improvements, we recommend using WAVEFORM - Bufferbloat and Internet Speed Test or similar tools.

After completing the network tasks, the script provides a user-friendly prompt, allowing users to restart their computers for the changes to take full effect.
