Cisco Shuts Down Umbrella: Join Control D Instead

There's been a buzz in the DNS world lately: Cisco is shutting down its Umbrella Roaming Client on April 2nd, 2024. This includes support.

Considering that they’re forcing customers to integrate with the Cisco Secure Client when their Umbrella contracts are up - and with it, likely a price hike - many of you may be seeking alternatives.
