Release Notification – Webroot®️ DNS Protection

What is being released?

The Webroot DNS Protection Agent runs as a service on each installed system and is designed to intercept and manage DNS requests. This release includes some significant improvements to this agent, including support for asynchronous requests and improved logic to correctly route internal requests to the local resolver.

In addition, added new functionality further supports the VPNs used by most MSPs. In testing, the performance of the DNS agent rivals that of the OS and improves page load times by up to 25%!* This is especially noteworthy since the DNS agent is adding encryption and filtering while remaining fast and efficient.

*Page load times in MS using Chrome with the Alexa top 100 sites.

Thanks for the info.
