What happens when my license expires?
Your license renews automatically every year unless cancelled at least 48 hours before the end of the current billing period. If renewal fails or the license expires, MacDNS will stop working until you renew it.
How do I uninstall MacDNS?
Open MacDNS, turn off protection, click "Remove All Components" in the General tab to remove system extensions, then quit the app. Finally, drag MacDNS.app from Applications to the Trash. To remove all data, also delete ~/Library/Application Support/MacDNS folder.
How do I test if MacDNS is working?
Open Terminal and run: dig _probe.macdns — if MacDNS is running correctly, you should see status: REFUSED in the response. This confirms the DNS proxy is intercepting queries properly.
How do I view MacDNS logs for troubleshooting?
Open Terminal and run: log show --predicate 'subsystem BEGINSWITH "app.macdns"' --info --last 15m --style compact. This shows the last 15 minutes of MacDNS activity.
