    • 🛠 Fixed multiple issues with DHCP server.
    • 📚 This release updates many API calls which may cause issues in 3rd party clients if they are not updated before deploying this new version. It is recommended to check the API documentation for changes before deploying this new release.

  • v7.1 Changes

    🚀 Release Date: 23 October 2021

    • ➕ Added option in settings to automatically configure a self signed certificate for DNS web service.
    • 🛠 Fixed cache poisoning vulnerability [CVE-2021-43105] reported by Xiang Li, Network and Information Security Lab, Tsinghua University and Qifan Zhang, Data-driven Security and Privacy (DSP) Lab, University of California, Irvine when a conditional forwarder zone uses a forwarder controlled by an attacker or uses UDP/TCP forwarder protocol that the attacker can perform MiTM.

  • v7.0 Changes

    🚀 Release Date: 2 October 2021

    • ⚡️ DNS Apps design updated to allow apps to act as authoritative zones, drop requests, and log queries in addition to the existing APP records in authoritative zones.
    • 🚀 This release is a major update for DNS Apps design and thus any previously installed apps will fail to load after the update. A manual update is required to install the latest app update from the DNS App Store for these apps to work with this new release.
    • 👍 Advanced Blocking App: This new app allows blocking domain names based on IP address or subnet of the clients by creating groups. It also supports blocking using regex and also supports loading blocked domains from Adblock format lists.
    • 🌐 Block Page App: This new app runs a built-in web server to allow serving a block page to clients when a domain name is blocked.
    • ⬇️ Drop Requests App: This new app allows dropping requests that match the blocked questions in the config allowing to block DNS amplification attacks that use specific domain name and query types.
    • NX Domain App: This new app allows blocking domain names with a NXDOMAIN response.
    • 🔊 Query Logs (Sqlite): This new app allows logging all queries that the DNS server receives into a Sqlite database. The DNS server web panel adds an Query Logs option to allow querying the app for logged data.
    • 🚧 Failover App: Implemented under maintenance feature to indicate if an address is taken down for maintenance.
    • ➕ Added Ping check option in DHCP scopes to allow detecting if an IP address is already in use before leasing it.
    • ➕ Added option to allow removing an allocated DHCP lease.
    • 📚 This release updates many API calls which may cause issues in 3rd party clients if they are not updated before deploying this new version. It is recommended to check the API documentation for changes before deploying this new release.
    • 🛠 Multiple other minor bug fixes and improvements.

  • v6.4.1 Changes

    • 🛠 Fixed issues in counting total unique clients in dashboard stats. The future data for total clients will be displayed correctly however the bad data since last release can be fixed by deleting '/etc/dns/config/stats/202108*.dstat' files manually.
    • ⚡️ Updated allowed list URL implementation to check for domains zone wise so that subdomain names from blocked list URLs too are allowed.
    • ⚡️ Updated DNS Failover App to v1.4 to fix implementation issues.
