DNS Jumper helps you modify Internet connection settings to apply custom DNS servers for your computer. Although most Internet services have default server, they are not always ideal. This management program can easily define and apply customized DNS server profiles, drawn from 50+ free server profiles.
With the "Fastest DNS" option, DNS Jumper will ping all the DNS profiles and select the fastest one to use in your area. Although the program is speed-focused, it lets you select any DNS server, some helping improve privacy, block ads, and more.

My VPN app looks for the "best & fastest" DNS servers so I'm curious to try this software and make a comparison. It’s always good to have more than one source to have an efficient way to run your computer at least that's my opinion.

NetworkConnectLog repeatedly scans your local area network using ARP and Netbios protocols, adding a new log line every time a new computer or device connects to or disconnects from your network. This helps keep track of both machines that should be on your network (servers) and those that should not (unauthorized users).
Log files are easily exported to a variety of formats including basic spreadsheets or HTML/XML file.

NFO Pad (http://www.portablefreeware.com/?id=2164) is my preferred option for this -- it can double as a capable Notepad replacement, too...

iNFekt version 0.9.6 is slightly lighter (uses less RAM) than previous version 0.9.5, good job. |

The stable version (as linked here) doesn't work after the latest Windows update. The beta version (available from the website) works fine, though.

Hi, the link downloads the latest version (v5.11.3) and it didn't prompt for portable install. Also, Windows stopped the file running and I had to manually allow it.

NetworkInterfacesView displays the list of all network adapters/interfaces installed on your system. It displays network interfaces that are currently active, as well as network interfaces that have been installed previously, and now they are not connected (like USB wireless network adapters).
For every network interface found on your system, the following information is displayed (if it's stored in the Registry): Device Name, Connection Name, IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, DHCP Server, Status, MAC Address and more.
You can select one or more network interface items and then export them to xml/html/csv/tab-delimited file, or copy them into the clipboard and then paste them into Excel or other spreadsheet application.

This one is great. Unlike the other magnifier in the database ("OneLoupe"), it can also magnify constantly changing values on the display (OneLoupe sticks to the first value when moved over a changing field). I use Magnifixer to magnify the constantly changing display of a stopwatch ("1Time", also in the database), so I can check the watch when I'm doing something several metres away from the screen.

Currently in my Win10 installation ctrl-G for showing/hiding Magnifixer is not globally available. Any idea on how to fix this? |

There is a typo in the link, which is pointing to a non-existent strokesplus_2.7.8.1_x86.zippip, rather than to strokesplus_2.7.8.1_x86.zip

Tweak PDF lets you set the initial view preferences of a PDF document, such as whether to center window of the PDF file when opened, whether to display document title, to fit window, to hide menu bar, to hide toolbar, and to hide window UI. You can also set the page mode of a PDF document, such as show PDF files in full screen mode, outlines mode, thumbnail mode, or simply without any special mode. In addition, PDF document properties such as title, subject, author, keywords etc. can be modified.
Note: The latest version is no longer freeware - now includes a 500k file limit. As such, I have made the last free version (v1.33) available for direct download.

I need a program that will rotate a pdf by 4 degrees counterclockwise. I just discovered I can't do this in Acrobat!
webfork
on 2015-03-21 02:38
BGM: I don't know of a program that will do that. My best guess is a combination of 3 programs: export it to a high-quality PNG using PDF-XChange, rotate it using PhotoScape, and then convert back to PDF using LibreOffice. Please post in forums if you find another method.

I needed to connect to an onion site and downloaded the latest version (5.0.2) but Australis makes Tor Browser absolutely terrible and unusable- I do not want to install heaps of add-ons just to restore features the Mozilla idiots removed. I had an earlier version of Tor Browser (3.6.0- before the advent of the abominable Australis) but the perpetual blinking of the Tor button urging for update is unbearable and cannot be disabled. It can be removed from the tool-bar but this way one cannot acquire new identities.
