Dear friends and followers,

We are happy to announce OPNsense 15.1.10.2 today following a rather exciting firmware upgrade bug that prevented the release yesterday. We are back to normal now thanks to the wonderful people of pkgng, and, boy, do we have news to share.

First and foremost, it's time to reveal to all of you the Proxy Server (based on squid) work we've done under the hood for a few months now. The new MVC framework has been plugged seamlessly into the GUI and can be inspected under "Services: Proxy Server". This is a sneak preview of things to come and any help in testing and commenting on the feature is going to be a huge help as we go forward.

The translation project has been kickstarted for Japanese[1] and Chinese, although the translations are not yet available in the GUI due to their incompleteness. We do, however, think this is a good opportunity to ask for contributions to the translations and welcome efforts for other languages as well.

Last but not least HardenedBSD's work[2] to build OPNsense on top of their code has been a quick success story and will eventually bring features like ASLR into the project. The cooperation also sparked a number of build tools improvements that will make maintaining the project easier in the future. Changes also help to unify the OpenSSL/LibreSSL release handling so that with this announcement you will be enjoying your timely LibreSSL firmware upgrade. ;)

Here is the full list of changes:

The update is available via the firmware upgrade feature only.


Stay safe,
Your OPNsense team
