Ladies and gentlemen! Today we present to you the latest stable iteration of the 16.7 series focusing on improved reliability and security in all areas and major feature upgrades. Big news this week are the inclusion of two new fully-featured plugins for Tinc VPN and FTP proxying, the latter being kindly sponsored by EURO-LOG AG[1]. […]

Hi everyone, This update brings several reliability and security improvements as usual. Our LibreSSL fans will notice the version 2.3 has finally been replaced with 2.4 and we switched to position independent executables in our base system to make good use of HardenedBSD ASLR. Another hot topic is the addition of a Czech translation into […]

Hi all, This update is preparation for the upcoming major release firmware upgrades, because FreeBSD 11.0 just came out (yay!). The intended target for this version is OPNsense 17.1, so it feels only natural to add the bits and bolts for it as early as possible. Seamless upgrades from any major release to the next […]

Hey everyone, Now that we got the chance to ship not one, but two OpenSSL bumps at the same time we barely missed the LibreSSL updates. That is life. But we still have a few great things to offer this week. First and foremost, users noted that the captive portal did not work with the […]

Dear all, We are deliberately skipping waiting for OpenSSL to announce their new version today as the roundtrip time for incorporating patches and updates into FreeBSD and maybe also LibreSSL will likely delay an update to next week. We will simply do a 16.7.5 next week as well and let 16.7.4 stand on its own […]

Hi everyone, We bring to your attention this update with a batch of enhancements and the occasional bugfix intertwined. It is interesting to note that the enhancements vs. bugfix ratio is as high as 5:1. 🙂 Brand new is the general availability of the Italian translation thanks to the work of Antonio Prado. The work […]

Hi everyone, The release schedule is being stretched bit by bit to see how long we can go without an update. Well, we did not want to wait any longer to share with you the following bits… so here they are. 😉 FreeBSD incorporated several reliability fixes for Hyper-V and we had to back out […]

The OPNsense project is growing rapidly and it’s with great pleasure that the OPNsense core team may announce that our team will be strengthened with Shawn Webb. Shawn has already  been doing lots of great work and his formal membership is seen as a logical step forward by all of us. – Jos Schellevis Shawn […]

Hi everyone, Thanks again for the warm welcome of the 16.7 series! The feedback has been overwhelming, quite positively so. It was partly addressed in to be released code, shall be weaved into the upcoming roadmap or will be further discussed in our forums. Every wee bit counts on our way to 17.1. 🙂 This […]
