Why protect yourself?
Internet scammers often try to manipulate what people see and do online. One way they do this is by rerouting your Internet traffic using "rogue DNS servers".
These servers help scammers trick you into visiting websites that can contain abnormal advertising, spread malware, or even steal personal information.
Router Checker makes sure that your Internet traffic goes where it should.
What are DNS servers?
The Domain Name System (DNS) is like the Internet's phone book. DNS servers translate the names of websites into the phone numbers (IP addresses) that computers need to talk to each other.
Good servers translate the names of websites into the IP addresses you're looking for. Bad servers (often called rogue DNS servers) translate these names differently to reroute your web traffic.
Using a rogue DNS server is like using a phone book that someone's forged to help them scam innocent people.
What are DNS hijacks?
Hackers sometimes attempt to "hijack" the settings of your computers, phones, or even routers. They try to change your Internet setup to trick you into using bad servers instead of safe ones that you or your Internet Service Provider have chosen..
