Outbound 1.3.2
Outbound 1.3.2 fixes encrypted DNS with the system setting, shows protection as on only once it is confirmed, lets blocklists refresh and Resume work under the settings lock, and shows only assistant figures that Outbound recorded. Requires macOS 14 or later.
Fixed
- Turning on encrypted DNS with the system setting no longer leaves DNS settings that cannot load and a switch that cannot be turned off.
- The menu bar, the window, Control Center, widgets and Settings show protection as on only after Outbound has confirmed it. Earlier versions could say DNS was protected before it was verified.
- Pausing encrypted DNS turns its configuration off instead of deleting it, and resuming restores exactly what was there before.
- A DNS configuration you turn off in System Settings stays off.
- Remove Outbound removes everything Outbound installed, and a removal that was interrupted can be finished later.
- With the settings lock on, blocklists refresh normally instead of downloading again every 15 minutes, Resume works without unlocking, and a pause until the network changes ends when it does.
- Undo of Finish Setup and Move Rules to Group still works after Outbound updates a blocklist or a known network in the background.
- A new connection history period is saved, and the history gap warning clears once history is complete again.
- When a Focus ends and the profile it would restore was deleted, Outbound no longer keeps trying to restore it.
- Claude Code shows its own icon in the blocked connection island and in app lists, and the island shows the server’s country flag when it is known.
Improved
- Unsubscribe from a rule group or delete it, from the app or from Terminal, and choose whether to keep its rules. A refresh keeps the name and description you gave the group.
- Backup and restore keep rules that belong to your own groups, and a restore saves rules and settings together, so a crash cannot leave only one of them changed.
- The assistant and connection explanations show only figures that match what Outbound recorded. An answer that cites a number Outbound did not record is not shown.
- Spotlight no longer indexes remote host names or addresses, and exported files and captures can be read only by your account.
