Speedify 16.1 Adds DNS over HTTPS Support
Every website visit starts with a DNS lookup, the step that turns a name like speedify.com into an address. Speedify lets you choose the DNS service for your session and routes every DNS request through the encrypted Speedify tunnel. Some DNS services are reached through a DNS over HTTPS (DoH) URL, a web address that answers DNS lookups over encrypted HTTPS, rather than through a plain IP address.
The short version: Speedify 16.1, released on 25 November 2025 for Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, Linux and OpenWrt, adds support for DoH DNS servers. Speedify translates ordinary DNS requests into DoH requests and forwards the requests to the DoH URL you specify. Speedify 16.1 also improves performance and failover in Redundant mode, which sends the same traffic over every internet connection at once. Speedify now recognizes Microsoft Teams live streams and puts Teams live streams ahead of other traffic. Satellite internet connections with a built-in Performance Enhancing Proxy (PEP), a speed-up for web pages and downloads, get better performance and more accurate statistics; VSAT satellite internet through a small fixed dish is a common example.
In this release:
- DNS over HTTPS (DoH) servers
- Better performance and failover in Redundant mode
- Microsoft Teams live streams get priority
- Better performance and statistics on satellite internet connections with a built-in PEP
- Windows: lighter network change detection
How to Use a DNS over HTTPS (DoH) Server With Speedify
Speedify 16.1 takes the DoH URL you specify, translates each DNS request into a DoH request, and forwards the request to that URL. Whichever DNS service you choose, Speedify routes DNS requests through the encrypted Speedify tunnel.
DNS choices are in the Speedify app under Settings, then DNS. The built-in options are Auto, Quad9, Cloudflare Quad One, Google Quad Eight, OpenDNS Home, AdGuard DNS and Custom. A change applies immediately, without reconnecting. The DNS guide covers each option.
Microsoft Teams Live Streams Get Priority
Speedify’s Enhance Streaming recognizes audio and video streams and puts the streams ahead of other traffic, such as web browsing or software updates, so those activities don’t interrupt a call or a live stream. Speedify 16.1 adds Microsoft Teams live streams to the streams Speedify recognizes, so Teams live streams get priority too. Enhance Streaming is only available in Speed bonding mode.
Better Performance on Satellite Internet Connections With a Built-In Speed-Up
A Performance Enhancing Proxy (PEP) speeds up web pages and downloads on internet connections where data takes a long time to make the round trip, such as satellite internet. Some satellite internet services run a PEP inside the satellite network. VSAT, satellite internet through a small fixed dish, is a common example. Speedify 16.1 gives better performance and more accurate statistics when Speedify runs over an internet connection with a built-in PEP.
Speedify also includes a PEP, which Speedify 16 turned on by default on routers. On Linux, Speedify 16.1 improves the performance and stability of the Speedify PEP.
Better Performance and Failover in Redundant Mode
Redundant mode duplicates all your traffic across every internet connection. If a packet goes missing on Wi-Fi, the copy on cellular has already delivered the same data. Speedify 16.1 improves performance and failover in Redundant mode. Redundant mode uses much more data and drains your battery faster than standard bonding, so save Redundant mode for live streams, calls and other short tasks where reliability matters more than data use.
Other Fixes and Changes in Speedify 16.1
- On Windows, network change detection is more efficient. Speedify puts less load on the operating system when checking for available networks.
- Fixed in 16.1.1: cancelling a speed test sometimes got stuck.
- Speedify 16.1.1 also includes performance improvements.
