Version 2.1.0
New Features
- Brand Customization: The AXS Guard logo and all naming references have been removed from the software.
- Automatic Server Selection: The agent will automatically detect and switch to the optimal server.
- VPN Support on Mac: Introduced VPN support specifically for macOS.
- Robust Recovery: Improved the mechanism to restore the original DNS configuration after a system crash or forceful shutdown.
- Notification Refinement: Removed the mention of PowerShell in Windows notifications.
- Process Identification (Windows & Linux only): We have implemented the use of
netstat
to identify processes causing a filter activation. This feature is currently only available for Windows and Linux. Please note that events are currently not logged to the server. - Client-side Notifications: We have implemented the ability to mute client-side notifications related to DNS validation. It's crucial to highlight that muting must be configured exclusively on the server (API) side, enabling the suppression of notifications linked to DNS validation. Additionally, we have introduced the capability to add notifications, providing integrators with greater flexibility in customizing their notification preferences.
Bug Resolution
- Addressed bugs related to accessing specific DNS addresses, ensuring smoother functionality.
- We've implemented various performance improvements to enhance the overall user experience, ensuring a more optimized and responsive system.
