New in version:
- Fixed a deadlock error when calling functions for outputting lines to the protocol window when updating Arp/Nd table information.
+ Reduced the size of VPN packet headers to 20 bytes. Now 2-byte user identifiers 1-32767 are used. VPN tested in the modes "Secondary VPN server + Primary VPN server + VPN client", "LAN (bridge) + Primary VPN server + Secondary VPN server", "Primary VPN server + Secondary VPN server + VPN client".
+ Minor improvements in libraries.
- Minor bug fixes.

RusRoute firewall 3.0.4

Download RusRoute firewall 3.0.4: 64 bits (EXE, 0 Bytes), 668 downloads; 32 bits (EXE, 0 Bytes), 701 downloads

New in version:
- Fixed a bug in version 3.0.1, due to which dynamic MAC addresses determined by ARP/ND were not used.
- Fixed a bug in version 2.9.4, due to which IP addresses were incorrectly used for redirects, etc.
- Fixed an ancient error after changing the library API, due to which HTTP Captive portal issued a substitute redirect page with a large delay (temporary solution).
+ Minor changes in the library, in particular, some library global objects (for example, strings) can be safely used before calling main().
+ The fixed version of RusRoute firewall was tested in router mode and as a redirector of IP addresses and ports.

RusRoute firewall 3.0.3

Download RusRoute firewall 3.0.3: 64 bits (EXE, 0 Bytes), 192 downloads; 32 bits (EXE, 0 Bytes), 182 downloads

New in version:

+ Wrote a combined function of mathematical transformation and checksum calculation, which works 12% faster than successive calls of these two functions separately. But for the use of combined functions in VPN and in RRClient, the method of calculating the checksum has changed, version 3.0.3 is not compatible with the previous ones. This allowed to increase the data transfer rate over VPN by 5-10%, up to 200-250 Mbit/s (see screenshot). This did not affect the calculation of user password hash values.
* To switch to the new version, update the program on your PrimaryVpn server, on SecondaryVpn servers and VPN clients, and update RRClient on those PCs where it is used for secure authentication (login) to the RusRoute firewall. There is no need to change the firewall settings.

RusRoute firewall 3.0.2

Download RusRoute firewall 3.0.2: 64 bits (EXE, 0 Bytes), 285 downloads; 32 bits (EXE, 0 Bytes), 274 downloads

New in version:
- Returned the code for handling exceptional situations when there is not enough memory, since this mechanism is used under Windows in the C++23 standard.
- Disabled the operation of our TCP shapers, since this mechanism is rarely used, and with a large number of connections it consumes more processor resources, and its code is almost not parallelized. Without shapers, the RusRoute firewall processes 25% more TCP connections.
+ Slightly changed the method of dispatching IOControl messages in the driver.
+ Other minor changes.
+ Tested the program with more than 1000 active HTTP connections on a 200 Mbit/s Internet connection.

RusRoute firewall 3.0.1

Download RusRoute firewall 3.0.1: 64 bits (EXE, 0 Bytes), 419 downloads; 32 bits (EXE, 0 Bytes), 413 downloads

New in version:
+ Separated synchronization of work with IP fragments with a separate fast mutex. This led to an increase in the speed of packet processing, which affected the increase in the VPN speed in the local network by 25% or more (slightly more than 200 Mbps between two Windows 10 x64 with I7-7700K in a gigabit LAN).
+ Separated synchronization of work with ARP and ND requests with separate fast mutexes. This did not noticeably affect the speed of work, since in a small local network such traffic is not significant.
+ Separated synchronization of work with socket timers and time for timers. This did not noticeably affect the transfer speed of normal traffic, but in a 10 Gbps network, the speed of receiving via FTP became higher, about 7-7.5 Gbps (previously the speed was up to 4.5 Gbps).
+ Removed a lot of unused code for handling exceptions by using appropriate C++ class, function and method specifiers. The size of the main executable files will be reduced by more than 100 KB each. This did not affect the speed of the program.
+ Other small changes in the used library ToolsLib and in the firewall.
- Correction of minor errors.
+ Minor interface improvements in the filter data window.
+ Tested the program with more than 800 active HTTP connections.
