✨What's New
🧰
Expanded Device and Protocol Support
  • ARM64 Architecture Support
    Now available: a separate build for ARM64-based Windows devices, extending protection to a broader range of hardware beyond x64.
  • IPv6 Support
    Full IPv6 support is now included. DNS queries from IPv6-enabled devices are routed properly through DNSFilter. IPv6 is now attempted first by default—no registry changes needed.
🛡️
Service Manager: Improved Stability & Self-Healing
A new Service Manager has been a dded to monitor and protect the Roaming Client in real time:
  • Automatically checks health every 5 minutes
  • Restarts services if needed
  • Self-repairs and verifies installation integrity
  • Runs as a Windows service with enterprise-ready behavior
  • Now bundled with the installer
Think of it as built-in resilience—if the client goes down, it brings itself back up.
🛠️Improvements
🧹
Smarter Startup with Built-in Cleanup
  • The client now removes outdated or leftover registry settings on startup, helping avoid config-related issues and ensuring a cleaner, more reliable launch experience.
💽
Smarter .NET 8 Dependency Handling
  • The installer now detects and installs missing .NET 8 dependencies automatically, reducing manual setup steps and avoiding install-time errors.
🧩
Better Compatibility with Windows Defender
  • The installer now better aligns with Windows Defender and related security settings to avoid being flagged in stricter environments.
🪲 Bug Fixes
  • Local Domain Resolution
    Fixed an issue where the client failed to fall back to a secondary DNS suffix for local domain lookups.
  • API Error Handling
    The client now retries on temporary API errors instead of shutting down, improving service continuity.
  • Startup Reliability During API Downtime
    Improved behavior during initial startup if DNSFilter’s API is temporarily unreachable.
