Mac Roaming Client

2/18 February 18 macOS Roaming Client v2.3.12 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
.
This Beta release focuses on reliability, local DNS accuracy, and improved connectivity across macOS environments.
🛠️ Improvements
  • Reliable Local Hostname Resolution
    – Non-FQDN hostnames (such as computer names) now resolve correctly using local DNS servers, ensuring consistent local network connectivity even if public DNS fails.
  • Correct Local Resolver Usage
    – Queries for
    .local
    domains and dashboard-configured local domains now properly use the specified local DNS resolvers instead of routing to our anycast network.
🪲 Bug Fixes
  • AirPrint Discovery Restored
    – Network printers now appear correctly when the Roaming Client is enabled.
  • Improved DoT/TLS Stability
    – Fixed intermittent connectivity issues affecting apps like Slack, Chrome, and Gmail when DNS-over-TLS was enabled.
  • DNSProxy Reliability
    – Resolved an issue where the DNSProxy process could unexpectedly stop on certain 2.3.x builds.

Expanded Filter Options on Sites Dashboard
Finding where a policy is applied just got a whole lot easier. The
Sites dashboard
now supports filtering by all visible columns—including
Policy/Schedule
and
Block Page
—so you can quickly pinpoint exactly where settings are in effect. This feature applies to both Organization and MSP Site management dashboards.
This long-requested update makes it faster to troubleshoot policies, track down specific configurations, and keep your Organization clean and organized—no more guessing based on totals alone.

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.

✨ 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 MSP Sites dashboard now uses
    Assigned and Unassigned
    labels, with updated tooltips, styling, and icons to better reflect policy status and align with DNSFilter terminology.
🪲 Bug Fixes
  • Alongside this update, we’ve included general bug fixes and small usability improvements across the dashboard.

Windows Roaming Client

12/17 December 17 - Windows Roaming Client v3.1.0 Beta

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.
