Hi all, Quite the list of changes after a few weeks of a turbulent summer. This update addresses Stack Clash, OpenVPN, Bind and cURL security issues, see the reference links below. 17.7 is almost here, which means we have skipped over Alpha and Beta phase due to the fact that the base system is staying […]

OPNsense 17.1.8 released Hello again, It is with pleasure that we announce the availability of SafeStack in the OPNsense ports tree as our latest addition via our valued HardenendBSD friendship. While SafeStack is already deployed for the base operating system, it had not previously been applied to the ports tree. SafeStack is an exploit mitigation developed […]

OPNsense 17.1.7 released Hi there, OpenVPN released version 2.4.2 and also 2.3.15 which come with two high profile fixes addressing CVE-2017-7479 and CVE-2017-7478. While we still aim for OpenVPN 2.4 adoption during the 17.1 series, we have deferred updating the release version from 2.3 to 2.4 at this point to be able to respond more quickly. […]

As an especially longterm improvement, the German translation finally hit 100% completed thanks […]

OPNsense 17.1.4 released Dear friends and followers, The update finally addresses one of the larger issues with IPsec in 17.1 where traffic was not properly tracked by the packet filter and therefore causing spurious connection drops in TCP sessions. Another cool addition is the merge of the HardenedBSD SafeStack work to further harden our operating system […]

OPNsense 17.1.3 released Greetings, A dozen bug fixes meet several dozen new features and enhancements, literally! This update is about making OPNsense more flexible with the tools that everybody knows: firewall management, DNS services and Let’s Encrypt. This is also the stepping stone for providing new images based on 17.1 because the Hyper-V disk disappearance was […]

OPNsense 17.1.2 released Hello everyone, This update addresses a longstanding issue with the overall reliability of Realtek NICs by replacing the FreeBSD driver with its latest vendor driver equivalent. The results including inline intrusion prevention have been promising to say the least. We thank Realtek for its recent release of version 1.93 and our users for […]
