Bug Fixes 🪲

Static IP Issue:
Addressing the persistent issue where workstations with static IPs suddenly lose network access. This fix ensures that machines operate without interruption, restoring reliable connectivity.
VPN Connection and Local Domain Resolution
: Users connecting to a VPN from offsite can now resolve local domains instantly without delay. Previously, a validation issue caused the roaming client to rely on backup resolvers, delaying resolution by up to an hour. This fix ensures seamless remote work by processing local domain queries immediately upon VPN connection.
Improved Error Handling for Local Domain Resolution
: We have enhanced the reliability of our resolution process for local domains by ensuring that the RC no longer errors out when cycling through additional local resolvers. With this update, the RC will smoothly transition to subsequent local resolvers without triggering connection closure errors, improving the local domain resolutions.
Improved Network Switching for DNS Fallback
: Addressed the issue where the Windows Roaming Client was not correctly setting the fallback DNS when switching networks. This enhancement ensures that upon network change, the correct fallback DNS is applied without needing a manual restart of the agent, streamlining DNS resolution as users transition between different network environments.
Improved Restoration of DNS Settings
: Resolved an issue with restoring DNS settings when releasing or shutting down a network interface. Updates now correctly differentiate between Wi-Fi profiles and hardware level settings, ensuring DNS settings are accurately restored at the hardware level. Enhancements also improve the restoration of DHCP and static settings for wired connections.
Network Backup Settings Synchronization
: Resolved synchronization issues between memory and registry backups in network settings, ensuring accurate restoration of values to prevent device connectivity failures. Enhanced backup mechanisms now consistently update and maintain accuracy during DNS resolution takeover and proxy initiation.
Enhanced Device Sleep Handling for Windows 11
: Improved handling of device sleep state in Windows 11, particularly addressing issues with Modern sleep mode. The agent is now aware of the sleep state to prevent actions that might not be feasible, such as resetting network settings, restarting the process due to failed pings, and performing network changes while devices are asleep. Additionally, startup after sleep is delayed by 2 seconds to ensure all interfaces have re-established connectivity.
