Mac Roaming Client

1/21 January 21 macOS Roaming Client v2.3.9 Beta

A new version of the macOS Roaming Client is now available on the
Beta channel
. The latest installer is available in the dashboard under
Deployments → Roaming Clients
.
✨ What’s New
Travel Wi-Fi Mode (MDM support)
Travel Wi-Fi settings can now be deployed via MDM to help users connect on restrictive captive portal networks, including inflight Wi-Fi.
🪲 Bug Fixes
  • Dashboard Last Sync / Last Query Time
    – Fixed an issue where Roaming Client timestamps (Last Sync / Last Query) were not updating reliably in the dashboard.
  • DoT/TLS connectivity reliability
    – Fixed an issue that could cause connectivity problems in some environments when DoT/TLS was enabled.
  • Local Resolver priority order
    – Fixed an issue where Local Resolvers could be tried in a random order instead of the order configured by admins.
⚠️ Known Issues
  • Inflight / Viasat network connectivity
    – Connectivity issues may still occur on inflight networks and other Viasat-based providers.
    Travel Wi-Fi Mode
    was designed to assist in this scenario.
  • DoT/TLS intermittent page errors and certificate issues (macOS 2.3.3+)
    – Some users may still experience intermittent page errors and certificate issues when DoT/TLS is enabled. We’re actively investigating.

Windows Roaming Client

1/21 January 21 DNS PreCheck Beta for Windows Roaming Client

DNS PreCheck
is now generally available in the
Windows 3.1.0 Beta Roaming Client
for customers using the Beta Channel.
To enable DNS PreCheck, go to
Roaming Clients → Control Center → Connection & Filtering
in your dashboard.
✨ What’s New
DNS PreCheck (modern DNS protection)
– A transparent DNS proxy that validates and filters DNS locally before queries leave the device. This reduces conflicts, improves reliability on unmanaged networks, and helps preserve connectivity without requiring DNS setting changes.
New Connection & Filtering Mode framework
– Configure behavior directly from the
Roaming Client Control Center
across three dimensions:
  • Connection Mode:
    Transparent Proxy or DNS Loopback
  • Filtering Mode:
    Classic DNS or DNS PreCheck
  • Failover Mode:
    Fail Open or Fail Closed
✅ Why It Matters
  • More reliable protection
    on untrusted networks with fewer DNS conflicts
  • Greater admin control
    with predictable behavior and clearer outcomes
  • A stronger foundation
    for future feature delivery and cross-platform consistency
⚠️ Known Limitations
Some network and VPN/security configurations may impact behavior in certain environments. For details, see our knowledge base.

Web App

API

01/20 January 20 - Web Application and API Update

✨ What’s New
IPv6 Site Deployment Support
– DNSFilter now supports
IPv6 addresses for Site deployments
, making it easier to protect modern and IPv6-only networks with the same confidence and visibility you expect from IPv4. Whether you’re running hybrid environments or building for the future, you can now extend DNS protection across every connected device—no gaps, no blind spots.
  • Smart IPv6 Formatting and Handling
    – IPv6 addresses are automatically standardized into a compressed format for readability, and DNSFilter will expand a single IPv6 entry to its full
    /64 subnet
    to ensure consistent site coverage.
  • ⚠️
    Note:
    If you’re configuring IPv6-only traffic, make sure your network is also pointing to DNSFilter’s
    IPv6 resolvers
    before removing IPv4 resolvers to avoid connectivity issues.
  • See our Sites deployment guide for more IPv6 details.
Automatic Site Security Key Generation
– Site Secret Keys (SSKs) are now generated automatically right after a new site is created, making them immediately available for bulk export without manual setup.
🪲 Bug Fixes
  • Improved API Date Range Handling
    – Fixed an edge case where 60- and 90-day API queries could fail when spanning daylight savings time changes. Date range validation now accounts for the extra hour to prevent unexpected errors.
  • Plus general performance and stability improvements across the platform.

The latest
Windows Roaming Client (v3.1.0)
is now available in the
Beta Channel
and can be downloaded from
Deployments → Roaming Clients → Install Roaming Client
in your dashboard.
🛠️ Improvements
  • More helpful
    client logging
    is enabled by default, making Windows troubleshooting easier
  • Upgrade checks now account for local client state
    , reducing unnecessary
    DNSFilter Updater
    requests and limiting repeated upgrade attempts
  • The Windows
    tray icon now determines connection state independently of DNS
    , improving reliability and reducing flicker during state changes
🪲 Bug Fixes
  • Fixed an issue where DNS settings were not applied after wake or certain network transitions, which could prevent filtering from resuming until the client re-evaluated the connection
  • Fixed a configuration precedence issue where legacy registry values could override settings defined in appsettings.overrides.json file
⚠️ Known Issue
  • Automatic upgrade from Windows Roaming Client 3.0 to 3.1.0 does not occur.
    Devices running 3.0 must manually install version 3.1.0.
  • Duplicate dashboard entries may appear after upgrading to 3.1.0
    on devices that were fresh-installed on Windows Roaming Client 3.0 and may require cleanup.

Mac Roaming Client

12/03 December 3 - macOS Roaming Client v2.3.8 Beta

A new version of the macOS Roaming Client is now available on the
Beta Release Channel
. Agents on the Beta channel will auto-update within
24–72 hours
.
✨ What’s New
Travel Wi-Fi Mode
(manual option)
  • Adds a manually enabled option that opens a short window for captive-portal sign-in on networks where the page normally cannot load due to DNS proxying, such as inflight or hotel Wi-Fi.
  • Allows users to load the sign-in page and connect, then automatically returns to normal DNSFilter protection once the window ends.
🛠️ Improvements
Reliability during network changes
  • Improves recovery in cases where the agent could previously show an Offline state or stop resolving DNS after a network change, reducing the need to restart the device and helping maintain stable connectivity.
Captive portal behavior
  • Improves how captive-portal sign-in pages load, reducing situations where the portal would stall or fail to appear on public Wi-Fi networks such as hotels, airports, and cafés.
