This is a massive release with significant improvements.
- A live web-based monitoring UI has been added, allowing you to monitor DNS query activity and performance metrics through an interactive dashboard.
- Hot-reloading of configuration files has been implemented, allowing you to modify filtering rules and other configurations without restarting the proxy. Simply edit a configuration file (like blocked-names.txt) and changes are applied instantaneously.
- HTTP/3 probing is now supported via the
http3_probeoption, which will try HTTP/3 first for DoH servers, even if they don't advertise support via Alt-Svc. - Several race conditions have been fixed.
- Dependencies have been updated.
- DHCP DNS detector instances have been reduced to improve performance.
- Tor isolation for dnscrypt-proxy has been documented to enhance privacy.
- The default example configuration file has been improved for clarity and usability.
- The cache lock contention has been reduced to improve performance under high load.
- generate-domains-blocklist: added parallel downloading of block lists for significantly improved performance.
