About Network Assistant
Network Assistant is a lightweight and portable utility that helps improve internet browsing by switching your DNS server to the one with the fastest response in your area. Since DNS speed varies depending on location and provider, this tool lets you choose the best option and enhance browsing and download performance.
Select the Best DNS Automatically
The app supports six popular public DNS services: Google, Cloudflare, OpenDNS, Yandex, Level 3, and Comodo Secure. Instead of guessing, you can run a DNS ping test to measure each server’s response time.
After running the test, select your preferred provider and click the apply button to switch your network settings instantly.
Straightforward and Portable
No installation is required. Download, unzip, and launch the tool wherever you are. This keeps your system clean and registry untouched. The intuitive interface guides you through testing and applying the best DNS configuration in just a few clicks.
