24.05.003

Released on 22 May, 2024.

Server

Fixes

• The bowtie-server process on Controllers was not honoring all signals to shut down cleanly, which it now does.

Features

• Support bundles emitted from Controllers now include iptables dumps.

Client

Features

• Adds two local DNS observability feature, both accessible via the support page from the tray icon. The first is a dig-like resolving tool to explain private tunnel DNS modifications. The second is an upstream monitor to show what Bowtie DNS will forward to for other internet traffic. This record is pulled from your local operating system, and when that is not available fallback records can be set in your configuration file at dns_fallback_ipv4 and dns_fallback_ipv6. Fallback records currently default to public DNS providers at Hurricane Electric and Verisign.

  Additionally DNS upstream change resolution time has been reduced from 15-30s to a median time of 1.5s for network change events on Windows. MacOS and Linux upstream resolution continues to be effectively immediate, querying the operating system on every request.

Fixes

• DNS concierge & block lists are now disabled while Bowtie is paused.
