New / Enhanced Features
🛠️ System Extension / DNS Proxy
The new 2.x codebase now leverages a system extension and DNS proxy on the endpoint. This enhances security and performance. As noted above, installation of two mobileConfig profiles on the endpoint is a strongly suggested prerequisite as failing to do so will result in the end user receiving two dialog boxes asking for permission to run the extension and proxy.
🔁 Improved Connection Handling After TLS Errors
We fixed an issue where the macOS client wouldn’t retry regular (non-TLS) connections after a secure (TLS) connection failed. This could lead to delays or missed DNS requests. The client now handles retries more reliably to maintain smooth operation.
⚙️ Reliable Configuration Updates
The macOS extension now correctly re-reads its configuration file and applies fallback settings if some values are missing. This ensures the extension behaves consistently during startup and while running.
🧹 Uninstall Script Improvements
We updated the macOS uninstall script to better handle data privacy settings. It now properly reads and filters the necessary configuration details, making the uninstall process cleaner and more accurate.
