✨ 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.
