2.0.1
2021-01-15
This update includes latency improvements. We recommend that you open the app once the update is complete.
2.0
2020-09-23
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.

1.2.2
2019-12-11
• Increased resistance to networks and countries specifically trying to block NextDNS.
• Improved privacy when sending Device name (Devices are now unique to a configuration and can't be uniquely identifiable between 2 configurations). This will result in a duplicate device in the Analytics section (this will only happen once).
• Other small fixes.
1.2.1
2019-11-03
• Fix device name not being sent after iOS reboot (when the option is turned on in Settings).
• Other small fixes.
1.2
2019-10-17
• Improved DNS latency — the app now always uses the closest server from our network.
• Improved censorship resistance — if NextDNS did not work before on some networks or in some countries, you should try again.
• Hardened Privacy Mode — only use DNS servers located in jurisdictions with strong privacy laws, outside of the 14 Eyes.
• Passcode lock — for parental control when NextDNS is installed on your kids' devices.
• Status information in the Settings — displays DNS latency and the server location you are currently using.
• Support for Dark Mode on iOS 13.
Please try as many of those as possible and report back any bugs or improvements. Enjoy!
