Revert to Previous DNS Settings After Uninstalling DNSFilter
Bogdan Pavel
When we uninstall DNSFilter agents, the original DNS settings are not restored, causing the operating systems to lose connections and stop responding. Is there a way to prevent this issue during the uninstallation process? We would like DNSFilter to revert the NIC's DNS settings to their original state upon uninstallation.

Bogdan Pavel The agent should 100% restore the previous settings when it's uninstalled, have contacted support with your issue?

Can confirm this is not the case and happens way too much. Can’t really collect logs after it’s been uninstalled.
Bricks the machine for any remote support in client environments where they aren’t local admins. Very tedious to fix
