Uninstalling DNClient Server

This guide describes how to uninstall the dnclient binary and all associated config files on a machine.

Linux

sudo dnclient stop
sudo dnclient uninstall
rm $(which dnclient)
# To remove config files:
sudo rm /etc/defined/config.yml /etc/defined/dnclient.yml
sudo rm -r /etc/defined/
# service managers like systemd will auto-delete logs

macOS

sudo dnclient stop
sudo dnclient uninstall
rm $(which dnclient)
# To remove config / log files:
sudo rm /etc/defined/config.yml /etc/defined/dnclient.yml
sudo rm -r /etc/defined/
sudo rm /usr/local/var/log/dnclient.*.log

Windows

On Windows you have two choices:

• Find the app (Defined Networking Client or DNClient Server depending on the version) in "Add or remove programs" in Control Panel and delete the application. This will delete the app and remove all associated config files.
• Download the installer again from https://admin.defined.net/downloads, and use the built-in uninstaller.

Both uninstall methods will remove the installation directory, which contains the config files for any enrolled networks.
