Chrome Extension
The Chrome Extension Roaming Client 2.1.0 will start being released on July 26th 2022 at 9:15am (eastern, UTC -5). This new release includes:
Automatic User Creation
Currently, the Windows RC automatically creates a user under Deployments, Users when a new roaming client is deployed, allowing owners and admins to assign the user to a collection and apply a corresponding policy.
Without this functionality, owners/admins/edit policy users must rely on machine names alone to identify Users for policy assignment. This release adds automatic user creation to the Chrome Extension RC
Note:
User creation will only occur if the user is logged into the Chrome browser with Sync either turned OFF or ON. If a user is not logged into the Chrome browser, User Creation will not occur since the user can't be identified.Local Domains
Currently, the Windows, iOS RC allows for adding domains/DNS suffixes that will be sent to the local DNS resolver instead of DNSFilter. This is often used to support corporate intranet or other LAN local tools. This release adds Local Domains to the Chrome Extension RC.

Web App
Domains which have been registered in the last 24 hours, which have a high probability of serving malicious resources can now be blocked with the Very New Domains threat category. Currently, New Domains blocks domains created in the last 30 days, which sometimes will include valid domains. The Very New Domains helps in protecting against malware, as C&C domains are often associated with them and generally have a life of 6-12 hours before they are taken down, and it would have a low impact for false positives as domains would expire quickly.

Data Export
New Feature
With this release, customers can now export query log data to be utilized by a Security Information and Event Management (
SIEM
) or other tool of their choice. Exporting DNSFilter data allows an organization to aggregate relevant data from multiple sources and then take action. DNSFilter's Data Export supports Amazon S3 buckets and also Splunk. Many SIEMs are able to pull data from an S3 bucket enabling many tools to access the exported data from DNSFilter.
To configure this new option, user's navigate to:
Tools
> Data Export
> Configure Data Export

iOS Roaming Client
Default DNS-over-TLS (DoT)
DNSFilter currently supports DoT as an optional configuration for the majority of DNSFilter roaming clients. DoT is now enabled by default on the iOS roaming client, no longer requiring the end-user to configure manually. More roaming clients to follow.
Local Domain Fallback
If no Local Resolvers return a valid response, the iOS roaming client will now request an IP address from DNSFilter resolvers as a last attempt to resolve the domain.
