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.

RusRoute firewall 2.5.2

RusRoute firewall: Download RusRoute firewall 2.5.2 (EXE, 0 Bytes), has downloaded 145 times.

New in version:
- Bug fixed: reject of incoming UDP/UDP6 packets with "TTL expired in ip packet" error, because TTL was decreased not for routed but for received packets too, the result was all incoming udp packets with TTL=1 were rejected.
+ Driver recompilation by new WDK in Visual Studio 2022, build 109 is in Data\2022-self_signed_vs2022_win10x64 and Data\2022-unsigned_vs2022_win10x64 folders. New WDK can compile drivers for Windows 10 and later and for x64 platform only. Therefore 32-bits versions and old OS versions support would be removed in time. Setup is installing previous drivers' builds (108 self signed or 100 signed depending of your choice). The build 109 can be installed by enthusiasts easy. There is no information what 109 build is faster than 108 or 100.

- Erroneous "deny connection" log messages after "reject connection" are removed while working "reject" tcp/udp rules.
+ Sending of Port unreachable Icmp messages for reject udp rules.
+ Passing of Destination unreachable, TTL expired in transmission Icmp messages of intermediate routers for udp packets into NAT/LAN network by receive allowing rule. Linux users behind the RusRoute firewall can see route to external hosts by traceroute command now.
