DNS Hop v2.0

A full UI redesign on FluentAvalonia in the Windows 11 25H2 settings style, plus DNS profiles, multi-language support, geo-aware recommendations, a DNS leak test, and a refreshed Logs page.

Highlights

• New shell built on FluentAvalonia NavigationView with a left rail (Home, Benchmark, Resolvers, Results, Profiles, Network, Logs, Settings, About) and Mica backdrop on Windows 11
• Windows title bar follows the in-app theme; Light / Dark / System theme switch with no restart
• Win 11 Home page with active-resolver card and quick-action rows: Run benchmark, Apply best, Check DNS tampering, Restore previous DNS
• DNS Profiles — save preferred + alternate IPv4 / IPv6 pairs and apply them with one click. Built-in profiles for Cloudflare Privacy, Quad9 Secure, AdGuard Family, Mullvad and Google Public DNS
• Geo-aware recommendations — best resolvers for your region detected from Cloudflare CDN trace (country-only, no precise geolocation)
• Curated resolver metadata (operator, country, no-log policy, ad/malware/adult filtering) surfaced as badges in the resolver list and results
• DNS leak test — verifies that resolution actually goes through the resolver you applied, using whoami.cloudflare
• Apply history — the last five applied DNS configurations are remembered with a one-click "Restore previous"
• Results page with two recommendation cards (Primary / Secondary), per-row latency bars, status dots and inline Apply
• Network page with one card per adapter, aligned label grid, integrated leak-test
• Logs page with INFO / WARN / ERROR severity colouring, level filters, search and export
• Settings page rebuilt with SettingsExpander controls (the native Win 11 pattern)

Localization

• 5 languages out of the box: English, German, French, Russian, Simplified Chinese
• Auto-detects from the OS UI language on first launch, with a manual override in Settings → Display language
• Switching languages is reactive — no restart needed

Performance

• Project-wide compiled bindings
• Async settings persistence on shutdown (fixes the ~1.5 s lag when closing the window)
• Virtualised resolver list replaces the previous custom-themed DataGrid
• Live elapsed-time ticker and ETA on the Benchmark page so long runs no longer feel stuck

Assets

• DNS-Hop-Setup-v2.0.exe: Windows installer
• DNS-Hop-Portable-v2.0.zip: portable Windows build
• DNS-Hop-AppImage-v2.0-x86_64.AppImage: Linux AppImage
