Today Windows 10 x64 has stopped the loading the RusRoute firewall driver signed exactly 4 years ago.
When reinstalling the Windows driver, no errors were reported, but the reinstallation did not help.
If the driver is not working, the RusRoute firewall service cannot connect to it, it stops.
The GUI application cannot connect to the service, after several attempts it reports that.

We are working on resolving the issue.
If somebody has a positive experience of signing Windows drivers in a current time, I would be very grateful if you could tell me detailed how to do it in the new realities.

As a temporary solution, I suggest to put Windows into a test mode of disabling driver signature verification and to install one of the latest versions of a self-signed driver from the C:\RusRoute\Data directory.
