We are now testing for almost 2 months if not longer, why is there no new beta firmware ?
I'm already back to original, cause nothing changes.

They had a holiday in China. They will be back soon. :)
But if you can't wait for the new pre-release version and want the new beta 1.2.1 Build 20250113 rel.26684, just send a PM, and I will give you a link to download.
I keep in contact with engineers via email, and they send the new beta firmware versions to people like me who already reported bugs of the last versions to check if bugs are still out there. That's why that took so much time.

@ChrisBS I'm assuming there's a difference between the next beta and next pre-release? Are you able to share what those differences maybe?

From the start i want to thank to your development team for BE550 latest firmware with DoH/DoT (testing it as we speak in paralel with BE800).
Now the key question for BE800 which i asked you also previously couple of times:
Would be possible to let us users to fill in DoH fields other DNS over https services than those already predefined ?
Thank you very much for reading and considering
Ovi
@Ovidiuss As far as I can confirm, the new official firmware will be released soon and it will optimize the DoH configurations. Please wait patiently for the upcoming updates.

@pctelco That's true. The newer 1.2.1 official firmware is on the way and we're offering early access in some cases.
I will check and publish a pre-release version in the community soon. Please wait.
