RusRoute firewall 2.5.7

RusRoute firewall: Download RusRoute firewall 2.5.7 (EXE, 0 Bytes), has downloaded 82 times.

New in version:
+ Involvement of several IP API ban lists, definition of rules Wizard.
0th - RusRoute Auth, 1st - FTP Auth, 2nd - SMTP Auth, 3rd - POP3, IMAP4.
For these protocols, their filters analyze authentication procedures; in case of authentication failure, the IP address is added to the ban from the 5th time in 15 minutes for 15 minutes. Works only if the corresponding checkbox is checked in special rules. The ban addition can only be enabled for open protocols. If the protocol of your mail server uses SSL mode, then adding an IP address requires a special application that analyzes SMTP/SMTPS/POP3/POP3S/IMAP4/IMAPS server logs and adds IP addresses to the list of RusRoute API addresses for blocking.
+ New IMAP4 filter.
- For the "RusRoute http authentication" protocol, the IP address before special NAT is added to a list, it can be not what is visible to the http server (bug fixed).
- Fixed bug in SMTP filter. It now allows STARTTLS to pass through.
On the "Settings" page in the setting "Ban ignore IPs for API lists", IP addresses are separated by a space, the word "self" and an empty string are reserved for addresses 127.0.0.1, ::1 and all addresses of the RusRoute NICs (this word was "localhost" in 2.5.6 version).

RusRoute firewall 2.5.5

RusRoute firewall: Download RusRoute firewall 2.5.5 (EXE, 0 Bytes), has downloaded 105 times.

New in version:
* Some optimization by speed performed. Some functions were expanded to inline, in some places the deletion of objects (xml documents) was moved to the non-blocking part of the code, some new C++ language constructs were used to speed up and reduce the size of the code, etc. Improved the stability of the program. It was revealed that the DeviceIoControl function interacts with the driver in single-threaded mode. So far, it is not possible to redo this, because such a driver specific. As a result, IP packet handler in a Win32/Win64 service shows better performance when running in a single thread. Accordingly, in this version, IP packet handler was made single-threaded, which made it possible, for example, to increase the VPN speed by 2 times, up to 140-155 Mbps on a LAN stand. At the same time, data transfer over VPN is closer to real-time operation, a more stable speed graph, rarer and smaller value of speed dips. But user feedback is required about if extent such a single-threaded mode does not worsen the work with a large number of TCP connections at the time of connections establishment, and with the processing of a large number of UDP packets.

RusRoute firewall 2.5.4

RusRoute firewall: Download RusRoute firewall 2.5.4 (EXE, 0 Bytes), has downloaded 58 times.

New in version:
+ Added caching of a linear search for objects in the lists of the configuration in those moments when the configuration is used only for reading. The result is given directly from the hash table now with the second and subsequent accesses to the lists of network protocols, adapters, IP addresses, etc.
+ Simplified and improved implementation of pImpl technology for nodes of xml documents, along with a possible error when working with xml in a multi-threaded environment.
+ pImpl string storage class is no longer virtual, which can also give some performance boost.
* More safe work of the installer when installing over the old version. Now setup does not offer to remove the previous version of the drivers, but tells you that if you need to update the drivers, you need to uninstall the program, restart the PC, and install the program again, because Windows does not allow you to uninstall and install the RusRoute firewall driver at the same time without an intermediate reboot until now.
