native agent for most common linux distributions (ubuntu, debian,..))

Martin

in a modern company you usually support linux as an operating system as well so it would be great to have dns filtering also available here, without much hustle during the installation

James Kinsley

We are in dire need of this... We've lost 3 contracts in the past 2 months alone simply because we (DNSF) do not support Linux OS's natively. It's made our management begin to look at other tool sets that do support it
We can't use resolvers as these are laptops not on VPN and used as daily drivers and do not stay on-site / in the office. 
Ubuntu and RHEL/CentOS are the top ones.

James Kinsley: Thanks for sharing your experience, and for reaching out to our support team as well. We wanted to echo Casey's suggestions here for anyone else landing on this thread with the same challenge.

We don't currently offer a Linux Roaming Client, so per-device roaming protection for off-network Linux laptops isn't something we can provide natively right now. A couple of things worth knowing in the meantime:

If your "Linux" use case is actually WSL on a Windows machine
, the Windows Roaming Client can still provide DNS filtering coverage in PreCheck mode—so that may cover more of your fleet than expected.
The DNSFilter Relay is not a substitute here
. It's designed for fixed network environments, not individual roaming endpoints.

Keep the votes and comments coming on this one—use cases like yours help us understand the demand. 🙌

A source package for Ubuntu and derivates would be fine.

Frank

rhel/centos please rpm but a repo would be nice to simply do a dnf install and automate the updates.

Pav

I vote for Ubuntu Desktop support, it's getting quite mainstream.

Juan Ortega

Hi,

We use primarily Ubuntu and .dep or snap packages.

Gibran

Hi,
From our side, it would primarily be Mint, and a preference for .deb packages for simplicity sake.
What does everyone else run?

Mikey @DNSFilter

Hi voters, thank you for beginning this thread. I understand the spirit of this request is for a Linux roaming client but wanted to make it known that our Relay product (https://docs.dnsfilter.com/docs/relay) works well as a Linux roaming client. There are several binary deployment options and a Docker container.

With that out of the way, I'd love to learn more form the existing voters and future voters. Which distro do you typically deploy? What is your preferred install method? Do you utilize flatpaks, snaps, appimages, or source packages?
