Deployments

Install
), our Help Docs or from Docker Hub. VM installations, including Docker, should receive the latest version via auto-update.
Bug Fixes 🐞
  • Fixed an issue that could cause the Relay to prevent Windows devices from communicating with domain controllers via local domain routing. This version further improves support for local domain failover to backup addresses without long delays.
A new version of the DNSFilter Relay v0.2.0 is now available. Updated binaries can be downloaded from the Dashboard (
Deployments
Relay
Install
) and our Help Docs. VM images will be updated with v0.2.0 in the coming weeks.
Improvements 🛠️
  • Updated the behavior when Relay is configured with multiple local resolvers — previously, attempts would be made to each resolver in sequence leading to slow resolution times. In v0.2.0, unreachable resolvers are not attempted, speeding up resolution times. To get started with the new functionality, please see this new section in the Relay Deployment Guide
Bug Fixes 🐞
  • Fixed an issue that could cause the Relay to bind to port 5353 when configured to use port 53.
Announcing the DNSFilter Relay. It’s like X-ray vision for the DNS on your network.
DNSFilter is on a mission to make it easy for organizations of all sizes to filter their users from online threats and inappropriate content. Last month we announced Roaming Clients. This month, we are announcing the DNSFilter Relay.
The Relay makes it easy for you to filter and report on all LAN devices. While our recent roaming clients are great for PCs & mobile devices, we realize that today's business networks often have Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) and IoT devices.
One of our most common requests comes from system administrators who want to audit their network traffic. Their question is “How do I know
which
machine is going
where
?”
The DNS Relay is a virtual appliance that reports and filters DNS traffic on your network. This gives you unparalleled visibility and control of the DNS activity of all network devices, including servers and IoT.
