2.0
Sep 23, 2020
On iOS 14, this version uses the new native Encrypted DNS setting and does not require running a "fake" VPN in the background anymore.
IMPORTANT: You must open the app and re-enable NextDNS once after this update or after upgrading to iOS 14 to migrate.
Deprecation (iOS 14 only):
• The Hardened Privacy feature has been deprecated.
• We have removed the Status section in the Settings as it was confusing less tech-savvy users and may lack accuracy on iOS 14. Both location and latency can still be checked manually using popular tools like dnsleaktest.com or by pinging dns.nextdns.io.

Please report any issues you encounter to us via the chat available on https://nextdns.io, on our subreddit /r/nextdns or at support@nextdns.io.

• Improved DNS latency — the app now always uses the closest server from our network.
