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.

Proposed solution in that case:

RusRoute firewall 2.5.7RusRoute 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).
