We have added more ways to customise how your sensor tests networks, services and applications. All the changes are found in the advanced edit or add network screens.
​

These improvements offer solutions to complexity and provide better context for your network testing. These are some of the changes we are introducing;

You can now specify your own domain to test DNS resolution against your network configuration on the dashboard.

Older firewalls (or old firewall rules) will drop DNS packets with EDNS extensions
