MacDNS v1.1.18
What's New
Flexible App and Agent Lifecycle
MacDNS now offers more control over how the app and background agent behave. You can choose to quit just the menu bar app while keeping DNS protection running in the background, or quit both together. Disabling DNS protection no longer removes the agent, making re-enabling faster and more seamless.
- Quit MacDNS (
⌘Q): Closes the menu bar app while the agent continues running - Quit MacDNS & Agent (
⌘⇧Q): Stops everything completely - Toggling DNS protection OFF now keeps the agent idle for quick re-enable
Improvements
Enhanced Stability During Network Changes
Fixed a rare issue where DNS protection could become unresponsive during network configuration changes, particularly when license validation occurred. The system now handles concurrent operations more reliably.
Faster Startup
Reduced redundant operations during app and agent initialization, resulting in quicker startup times and cleaner logs.
