🪲 Bug Fixes & Improvements
More Reliable Connectivity Checks
The Roaming Client now automatically retries its connection to our service if a temporary error occurs, preventing unnecessary shutdowns. This ensures more stable operation by giving the client multiple chances to validate its identity before taking action.
Update Process Optimization
We’ve streamlined how the Roaming Client checks for updates, reducing redundant status checks that were happening too frequently. This improvement boosts performance and efficiency in the background.

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.

New Features
Remote Uninstallation for Windows Roaming Client 2.0.1+
Admins can now seamlessly uninstall Remote Clients (RC) directly from the App Dashboard, addressing a key community request. This update supports triggering or queuing uninstalls for active devices, ensuring automatic restoration of network settings without user intervention. Uninstallation is integrated into single, multi-select, and bulk deletion options, with accurate status tracking.
Purpose-Specific Log Files
The RC logging system has been improved by splitting a single log file into multiple purpose-specific files. These new logs are fully integrated into the debug tool.
WinRC Debug Tool Update
The WinRC Debug Tool now supports IPv6-enabled network interfaces even when configured in IPv4-only mode. It utilizes updated DNS resolution methods to ensure accurate diagnostics and improve troubleshooting capabilities.
Sleep-Study Integration in Debug Script
A new sleep-study script has been added to the troubleshooting toolkit, allowing admins to correlate device sleep patterns with recent controller activity. This enhancement provides insights into device states to help identify and resolve operational issues effectively.
Bug Fixes
Domain Resolution Discrepancy:
Resolved an issue where queries to non-existent hosts with local domain suffixes incorrectly returned an unknown IP. The correct response (SERVFAIL or NXDOMAIN) is now provided, ensuring proper functionality, particularly in VPN environments.
Improved Local Domain Handling After Sleep:
Fixed an issue where WinRC failed to query local resolvers for local domains after waking from sleep, ensuring correct behavior on Windows 11 Pro systems.
Correct NXDOMAIN Response:
Addressed a problem where non-existent DNS records returned a SERVFAIL response instead of NXDOMAIN, aligning with expected DNS behavior.
RC Uninstall Log Location Update:
The RC uninstall process now writes logs to a consistent and reliable location in the system logs folder, improving accessibility for monitoring and troubleshooting.
Seamless Upgrade Installations:
Upgrades now properly stop and restart the TrayIcon process, preventing file access issues during installation.
