v1.1.17
What's New
High-Performance DNS Proxying
MacDNS now uses an optimized socket-based connection pool for DNS queries, eliminating per-query connection overhead. DNS responses are now faster and more efficient, especially under heavy query loads.
Smarter Cache Management
When you modify custom zones, overrides, or allowlists, MacDNS now flushes only the affected domains from the cache instead of clearing everything. Your DNS queries stay fast while changes take effect immediately.
Improvements
Enhanced Reliability
- Improved connection handling between the app and background agent with better timeout management
- Prevents unnecessary restarts when the DNS proxy is already in the desired state
- Streamlined cleanup process to prevent orphaned configurations
Better Extension Management
- Automatic detection and handling of extension approval states
- More reliable extension status monitoring and updates
