Die Entwickler der Open Source Firewall OPNsense haben die neue Version 18.1 mit dem Namen »Groovy Gecko« freigegeben. Die neue Version umfasst unter anderem eine erweiterte Plugin-Architektur und Verbesserungen der Benutzeroberfläche.

Seit der letzten Hauptversion ist die - von der Gemeinschaft unterstützte – Plugin-Infrastruktur von OPNsense kontinuierlich gewachsen und es wurden zahlreiche Verbesserungen an bestehenden Plugins vorgenommen. Zu den neuen Erweiterungen gehören »The Onion Router«, »Free Range Routing« und Group/User Access Lists für den eingebauten Web-Proxy. Zu den verbesserten Plugins gehören zudem »Free Radius«, der »TCP/HTTP Load Balancer«, »Tinc VPN«, »ClamAV Anti-Virus« und »Let's Encrypt« für kostenlose und automatisierte Zertifikate. Benutzer werden zudem Verbesserungen der Benutzeroberfläche bemerken. So wurden beispielsweise Untermenüs anstelle von Registerkarten eingeführt. Das Debugging von Firewall-Regeln ist mit der Einführung von Live View (unter Firewall-Protokollierung) wesentlich geworden, da reguläre Ausdrücke verwendet werden können, um Firewall-Log-Regeln zu filtern.

Weitere Neuerungen der aktuellen Version 18.1 stellen Aktualisierungen des Systems dar, das nun auf FreeBSD 11.1 basiert und unter anderem über diverse Patches für Sicherheitserweiterungen verfügt. Das RESTful API wurde weiter erweitert und Entwickler sowie experimentierfreudige Nutzer erhalten die Möglichkeit, einfacher auf Entwicklerversionen von OPNsense zugreifen zu können, in dem sie den Veröffentlichungstyp direkt in den Firmwareeinstellungen auswählen.

Die neue Version kann ab sofort vom Server des Projektes in Form von ISO-Abbildern heruntergeladen werden. OPNsense ist eine offene Firewall- und Routingplattform, die Anwender durch ihre Funktionalität und Einfachheit überzeugen will. Das System wurde 2014 als Fork von pfSense gestartet und 2015 in einer ersten stabilen Version herausgegeben. Die Funktionalität von OPNsense umfasst neben den grundlegenden Eigenschaften eines Firewall-Systems unter anderem die Möglichkeit einer Beschränkung und Prioritätsvergaben. Das System unterstützt die Einrichtung von VPN-Netzwerken und Failover-Szenarien. Zudem kann OPNsense als Caching-Dienst eingesetzt werden. Das auf Suricata aufbauende Inline Intrusion Prevention System erkennt Einbruchsversuche. Die Einbindung externer Dienste soll die Sicherheit des Systems zudem weiter erhöhen. Die Authentifizierung kann durch diverse Sicherheitsmechanismen erweitert werden und umfasst unter anderem eine Zweifaktorauthentifikation.

Changelog

Software update notifications will now no longer appear when GlassWire’s Snooze mode is on. This was requested by gamers who didn’t want to see our update notification while gaming, or streaming live.
There is now more “info” when receiving a notice about a “new” application accessing the network. Click the “info” button and you can now see more details about the app and block it without having to open GlassWire.
Fixed a bug that caused GlassWire to incorrectly convert extremely large volumes of data incorrectly under its “Usage” tab. Thanks for letting us know about this in the GlassWire forum!
Microsoft Windows Defender apps are now white listed by GlassWire so they won’t be blocked. This avoids Windows Defender giving GlassWire false positives.
Fixed a bug that caused scrolling on our “alerts” screen to not scroll properly with a mouse wheel, when the cursor was placed in a certain part of the window. Thanks for posting this in the forum also!
Fixed a bug that caused the GlassWire service to crash repeatedly for some GlassWire users. If you have been having this issue please try updating GlassWire. Thank you to the people who helped us test and fix this issue.
Many small fixes with typos and other small things.

Mit der Freeware "Windows Firewall Notifier" wird die Firewall von Windows um eine zusätzliche grafische Oberfläche erweitert.
Die integrierte Firewall verrichtet eigentlich gute Dienste, nur bekommt man davon nichts mit. Wer über Ein- und Ausgehende Verbindungen informiert sein möchte und diese Verbindungen auch selber erlauben oder verbieten möchte, der bekommt mit dieser Freeware die Möglichkeit dazu.

Changelog

Changes

New in this release:

    Finished splitting the local and roaming profiles.
    Made the Notifier titlebar look a bit more Windowsy.
    Fixed the temporary rule functionality that got broken in 2.0 Beta 2.
    Now using product name instead of company name for a better description in the Notifier.
    Corrected columns in Event log pane.
    Fixed an issue where log events were loaded multiple times.
    Fixed a crash triggered by multiple threads accessing icons at the same time.

Still left to do:

Just a small sampling:

    Package WFN in a .msi installer. This will make installer and uninstaller WFN much clearer, and it also needed to do proper cleanup on uninstall.
    Switch to Windows' logging instead of a logfile. Not only is this the proper thing to do, it'll also fix the still remaining issues with writing to the logfile.
    Add internationalization and translations.
    See if we can determine what task created a connection, instead of only pointing to taskhost.exe.
    Add detection for fullscreen applications (e.g. games, Powerpoint), so we don't pop-up and steal focus when they are running.
    Add a silent mode.
    Implement the minimize to tray functionality.
    And lots more!

Windows Firewall Control is a powerful tool which extends the functionality of the Windows Firewall and provides quick access to the most frequent options of the Windows Firewall. It runs in the system tray and allows user to control the native firewall easily without having to waste time by navigating to the specific part of the firewall. This program is donationware.

Changelog

prohibit adding, modifying or removing firewall rules from outside of WFC.

enabled, importing firewall rules and changing the filtering mode of Windows Firewall
is possible only from WFC.
– New: A dialog is displayed to the user if the uninstall is launched while the
program is locked with a password.
– New: A new global hot key can be defined in Options tab to toggle Secure Rules state.
– Fixed: If the uninstaller is launched multiple times, the dialog is displayed
multiple times instead of focusing the already running instance of it.
– Improved: When choosing a custom notification sound for the notifications, the
dialog will now open by default in ‘C:WindowsMedia’ folder.
– Improved: Various user interface improvements.
– Updated: The WFC recommended rules contain now some inbound rules required for
accessing the computers from the local network.
– Updated: The URL services from the Tools tab were updated.
