This isn\u2019t a rebrand. It\u2019s not a bundling exercise. This is a full-blown product integration that brings the best of DNS-layer threat protection and endpoint-level visibility into a single platform designed to make life easier for MSPs.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s exactly what you need to know.<\/p>\n<h2>One Platform to Filter Them All<\/h2>\n<p>The most immediate win: Zorus\u2019s network filtering now runs natively on DNSFilter\u2019s infrastructure. That means Zorus customers are already routing traffic through DNSFilter\u2019s advanced AI-driven threat detection engine. No more reliance on third-party DNS. It\u2019s faster, smarter, and more secure.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re managing networks through the Zorus portal, those are now mapped directly to DNSFilter sites and policies. This seamless alignment sets the stage for a unified dashboard experience, which is already in progress.<\/p>\n<h2>Roaming Client Upgrades: This Isn&#8217;t Just a Patch<\/h2>\n<p>DNSFilter\u2019s roaming clients just got a serious glow-up. On macOS, DNS interception has been overhauled to align with Apple\u2019s latest system requirements. On Windows, we\u2019ve added:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">IPv6 support<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Self-healing client behavior<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">ARM64 installs<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Expanded VPN compatibility with updated docs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For Chrome, where Google is deprecating older filtering methods effective August 19, we\u2019ve already pushed out a compatible beta client. If customers don\u2019t upgrade, filtering will stop. So yeah\u2026 do that, reach out to support if you need help.<\/p>\n<h2>Site Management That Doesn&#8217;t Suck<\/h2>\n<p>Historically, managing sites across multiple orgs was a pain. We heard you. There\u2019s now a global Sites view that lets you:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">View and manage every site across your orgs<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Filter by protected or unprotected sites<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Search by IP address or CIDR range<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Inline edit, expand for deeper info, and customize your columns<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>No more exporting CSVs or clicking 87 times to find a single IP.<\/p>\n<h2>Manual Subscriptions Finally Got a UI<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019ve ever had to call support just to reallocate licenses, this one\u2019s for you.<\/p>\n<p>The new manual subscription interface gives MSPs full control to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">View all orgs under their account<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Adjust license counts (roaming clients, site licenses, etc.)<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">See overages and fix them without opening a ticket<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It\u2019s the visibility you\u2019ve always wanted, now built into the product.<\/p>\n<h2>Mandatory MFA for New Users<\/h2>\n<p>Security shouldn\u2019t be optional. And now it isn\u2019t. All new users are required to set up MFA by default. Bonus: this also ensures real email verification, preventing fake signups and ghost users.<\/p>\n<h2>Coming Soon: Even More MSP Firepower<\/h2>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what&#8217;s next on the roadmap and why it matters:<\/p>\n<h3>Licensing Visibility Tool<\/h3>\n<p>Track usage vs. license allocation with precision. Understand overages before they surprise you at renewal time.<\/p>\n<h3>Identity Sync Tool<\/h3>\n<p>A new version of the on-prem AD sync tool that supports Microsoft Entra out of the box. With plans for Okta and Google, it\u2019s cloud-native, scalable, and built for large MSPs.<\/p>\n<h3>DNS Pre-Check<\/h3>\n<p>Intercept and filter DNS traffic before it ever leaves the device. This is Zorus\u2019s secret sauce being folded into DNSFilter for a powerful security boost. It\u2019s especially useful for roaming clients and captive portal compatibility.<\/p>\n<h3>CyberSight<\/h3>\n<p>Think of it as &#8220;cybersecurity you can see.&#8221; Endpoint-level behavior analytics that separate actual user clicks from machine-generated noise. Great for:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Shadow IT detection<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Incident response timelines<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Identifying your riskiest users<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Also comes with privacy-preserving controls for customers who need to limit PII exposure.<\/p>\n<h2>UI Refreshes That Don&#8217;t Feel Like Lipstick<\/h2>\n<p>Both the Sites and Policies sections are getting upgraded with DNSFilter\u2019s new design system.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Expect:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Better change tracking (like highlighting unsaved settings)<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">More intuitive controls<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Fewer surprises from silent auto-saves<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Support for DOH (DNS over HTTPS) and IPv6 is also rolling out across Sites.<\/p>\n<h2>What It All Means for MSPs<\/h2>\n<p>This isn\u2019t just new UI or marginal upgrades. This is a strategy to reduce complexity in your stack, simplify deployment, and give you more powerful tools without giving you more to manage.<\/p>\n<p><span>In short:<\/span><br \/>More power. Less friction.<br \/>Fewer dashboards. More visibility.<br \/>All under one roof.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re a current Zorus or DNSFilter partner, you\u2019re already getting these benefits. If you\u2019re evaluating DNSFilter, now\u2019s the time to take a fresh look.<\/p>\n<p>This is what the future of DNS and endpoint security looks like for MSPs, built by people who actually listen to MSPs.<\/p>\n<p>Ready to learn more or get early access to what\u2019s next?<br \/>\ud83d\udc49<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dnsfilter.com\/book-a-live-demo\" rel=\"noopener\"><span> Book a demo<\/span><\/a> or contact your Partner Manager.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dnsfilter.com\/blog\/what-msps-need-to-know-dnsfilter-roadmap\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When DNSFilter acquired Zorus, the big question from MSPs was:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[222,4656],"tags":[230,4657],"class_list":["post-7833","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-featured","category-productfeatures","tag-featured","tag-productfeatures"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","chromenews-featured":"","chromenews-large":"","chromenews-medium":""},"author_info":{"display_name":"DNSFilter","author_link":"https:\/\/ddi.mohflo.net\/index.php\/author\/dnsfilter\/"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/ddi.mohflo.net\/index.php\/category\/featured\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Featured<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/ddi.mohflo.net\/index.php\/category\/productfeatures\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Product&amp;Features<\/a>","tag_info":"Product&amp;Features","comment_count":"0","jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ddi.mohflo.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7833","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ddi.mohflo.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ddi.mohflo.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ddi.mohflo.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ddi.mohflo.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7833"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/ddi.mohflo.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7833\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ddi.mohflo.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7833"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ddi.mohflo.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7833"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ddi.mohflo.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7833"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
