RusRoute firewall is flexible software router and firewall, Internet gateway for Windows, it is the ideal solution for making Internet gateway for local area network (LAN) of small company

New in version:
+ Assembler code for +, -, * functions for long integers, speeding up asymmetric conversions for the x86_64 architecture by about 2 times.
+ Small code optimization (custom allocators for some structures, etc.).
+ Minor improvements.
+/- The driver has been updated for solving the port reuse error described in the previous version 2.3.4, but it is not digitally signed, it is located in the Data\2021-self_signed directory. The previous version of signed driver is installed by default. As it turns out, Microsoft has made it much more difficults for driver developers to sign driver software over the past few years. I got to the point of creating a subdomain in the .onwindows.com domain, at this step the Windows cloud service gave an incomprehensible error. There is no obvious way further, and if it were possible to move in this direction, other obstacles would stand in the way: the need to purchase an EV certificate costing from 40,000 rubles / year (which is not acceptable for me), and the need to pass WHQL tests, which is also unnecessary difficult, and perhaps not immediately solved.
Enthusiasts can install a self-signed driver in Windows 10 to solve the port reuse error with "Kernel-mode TCP optimizations" enabled. You need for this:

PS: The complicated and expensive way of signing and certifying Microsoft Windows drivers puts an end to my RusRoute firewall development. Perhaps the development of RusRoute firewall will be closed.

RusRoute firewall 2.3.4

RusRoute firewall: Download RusRoute firewall 2.3.4 (EXE, 13.8 MB), has downloaded 28 times.

New in version:
- Error "DoTcpConnect(): catch(int: 5)" is fixed. It was appeared when TCP reuse ports recently closed connections (when applications are opening too many small lived connections). Accepted sockets of such connections are forced closed sometimes by RusRoute (completed solution is not made; you can try to switch off "Kernel mode TCP optimization" in the "Settings" page temporarily untill RusRoute released with updated driver). You can see ADDR_IN_USE, CONN_ABORTED errors in your application after opening and closing 10000 short lived connections. These errors are returned by Winsock library. RusRoute is lead to more earlier of appearence of these errors because of RusRoute is creating two sockets for each user's socket. Winsock library is self restored in ~30 sec after such stress test.
+ Small improvements.

RusRoute firewall 2.3.1

RusRoute firewall: Download RusRoute firewall 2.3.1 (EXE, 0 Bytes), has downloaded 44 times.

New in version:

+ Optimization by speed of program, descreasing buffers size, descreasing the number of dynamic objects.
+ Displaying the used memory as process' virtual memory size (working set).
+ Advantage of VPN system: increasing open key size for Primary VPN server up to 4096 bits (therefore VPN is incompatible with the previous versions, key generation can take ~10 minutes for checking of 4000 candidates for prime numbers), the additional options of working VPN clients behind the NAT without of requirement of router's port 10004 mapping to a port 10004 of LAN's IP of client, and direct packets transfer between VPN clients when IP address and port of client is reachable from global network or exchanging traffic clients are connected to the same Primary or Secondary VPN server in the LAN. (See VPN client settings on the "Settings" page). The key update interval is reduced to 15 minutes.
+ Increasing of speed of VPN data transferring by approximate 10% (up to 40 mbits/s for receive and 32 mbits/s for send for PC like Core2Quad Q9550 2.8 GHz. (There are not more then 2 cores are used by 100%).
- Error fixed in logic of duplicating/sending broadcasts to only VPN or to only LAN with using not virtual but real Ethernet adapter for VPN with function of LAN to VPN bridge, when generic PC are working in VPN network from identificator of serving them VPN client or server.
- Error fixed of dropping some incoming VPN packets as duplicates. Now packets are not checking for dups, just checks are made for integrity and time, the very old packets are discarding.
+ Speed up of classes of using ToolsLib library: using of std::atomic<>, rejecting of using dynamic_cast<> for TCP sockets, xml document's classes are optimized not only by speed but by using memory too (nodes and attributes with the same names are reffering to the same object) and etc. The allocators are not initializing and not filling objects memory by the patterns (using TOOLSLIB_MAX_SPEED option), this can be a reason not to safe if data members are not initializing somewhere.

RusRoute firewall 2.2.1

RusRoute firewall: Download RusRoute firewall 2.2.1 (EXE, 0 Bytes), has downloaded 100 times.

New in version:

+ Optimization by speed of program by program code optimization and making the best buffers of connections.
+ Compillation by Visual Studio 2019, C++ compiller with the newest standard (draft) of C++. Some bugs are fixed as a result of it.
+ Getting and displaying IPv6 network parameters of PC (IPv6 addresses, IPv6 route and Neighbor Discovery tables). RusRoute firewall is still IPv4 router. IPv6 can be passed throught.
+ It is possible this is the latest version before the big work under IPv6 support.
