Looks like 2.4.2 will be the biggest update for us in ~2 years since we purchased  DNSFilter. We are optimistic.

A few question for you regarding beta 2.4.2:

1 Following 2.4.2, does allowExtensionBypass=true still need to be manually added to our configuration (/Library/Application Support/DNSFilter Agent/daemon.conf)?

2 Can a DNSFilter binary (example /Applications/DNSFilter Agent.app/Contents/MacOS/DNSFilter Agent) be used to query for the exact version and build?

3 Rough ETA date on when 2.4.2 may move to production?

  Hey Daniel! Great questions—let me take them one at a time.

  1. The allowExtensionBypass config behavior is part of the documented MDM setup path since v2.3.9—that one hasn't changed with 2.4.2, so your existing configuration should carry forward as-is during upgrades.
  2. Could you clarify what you're trying to accomplish here? Knowing the end goal will help us point you in the right direction!
  3. 2.4.2 just hit the beta channel on June 15—if testing goes smoothly, production is currently targeting next week. A new changelog will post when the agent moves to Production.
