Could not resolve DNS etc, I have Win 8.1 and Hotspot Shield.

[Jackie1957]

Since I installed Hotspot Shield, I can't sign on to Second Life. Says: Can't resolve DNS etc. I tried signing on to SL first then HS, but I get kicked off after a few seconds. I am afraid of trying using Google DNS. Please help. Hotspot Shield is a universal proxy and I am currently signing on from San Jose, Ca.  I can sign on to Second Life web page and Google with Hotspot Shield, but not the SL Program.

If you have any suggestions? Thanks, Jackie

Why are you afraid of trying the Google DNS servers?  If you don't like Google for some reason, you can find others here >>> here for alternate servers, or grab DNS Bench to help you locate one.

You might try simply rebooting both your modem and your router first, though.  See that clears up the problem.
