TCP Optimizer provides an easy way to optimize Windows' networking parameters. The developers tried to take into account all related RFCs, the Microsoft TCP/IP implementation oddities and verify that only the necessary Registry parameters were changed.
Category: | |
Runs on: | Win95 / Win98 / WinME / WinNT / Win2K / WinXP / Vista / Win7 / Win8 / Win10 |
Writes settings to: | Windows registry. But given the nature of the application, I think it can be accepted as portable. |
License: | Freeware |
How to extract: | Download TCPOptimizer.exe to a folder of your choice and launch. |

Once upon a time this pgm. was great and very useful, but for the last few windoze OS it didn't seem to help at least when I used it. I don't wanna say anything bad about this pgm. cuz I have no doubt that for many, many OS systems it is a real game changer and will greatly improve system speed and performance. |

I've updated the entry. Since the changelog is only available in German I tried to translate it for our purposes, but I'm not sure to what extent my translation is correct...

It should be mentioned, that eToolz requires NET3.5 - I think since version 3. It does NOT run on Windows 8 and higher with the integrated NET 4+, if the optional NET3.5-package is not installed! |

Last time I tried it, I was unable to redirect domains to 0.0.0.0 (an invalid IP, I know, but enabling much snappier redirection). Apart from that, it works well -- but there are other similar options. |

Prefer NetSpeedMonitor, available: https://download.cnet.com/s/netspeedmonitor-64-bit/ 32-bit on same page, but no longer available on developer's site. Provides numerical up/down info on toolbar. May not be portable, but is quite small 1.26 MB. Have used for years. |
IPNetInfo is a small utility that allows you to easily find all available information about an IP address: the owner of the IP address, the country/state name, IP addresses range, contact information (address, phone, fax and email) and more. This utility can be very useful for finding the origin of unsolicited mail.
Optionally, add CurrPorts to the same directory to resolve information of the remote IP address via the right-click context menu.

Had trouble with Canadian sites. For example, www.cbc.ca is the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Claimed the domain is not registered.

Straight-forward but doesn't reset to original DNS. Still needs improvement. |

Under Windows 7 (and probably Vista), you may need to run this program as Administrator for it to work.
