IPFire 2.29 - Core Update 197 is now available for testing, featuring a comprehensive update of OpenVPN, which has been upgraded to version 2.6. This update brings enhanced security, increased client compatibility, and a refined codebase. The update encompasses package enhancements aimed at bolstering system security and reliability. Significant updates encompass a consolidated client configuration export, cipher negotiation between the server and client, and the assignment of a unique IP address for each client. The web UI has been refined to enhance the configuration experience, and the code has been optimized for improved maintainability.

IPFire now sets its CPUs to default clock speeds to minimize power consumption and heat emission. Additional features encompass the capability to import configuration files utilizing Windows line breaks, the SSL fingerprint list sourced from abuse.ch, backup functionalities, a race condition, and a translation in Chinese. The IPFire kernel has been updated to Linux 6.12.41, incorporating new mitigations for Transient Scheduler Attacks. We invite contributions to support the development team and assist IPFire in its ongoing efforts to enhance security and functionality.

IPFire 2.29 - Core Update 196 is now available, following the introduction of WireGuard. The update includes improvements to the IPFire kernel, updated toolchain, a modernised console, and bug and security fixes. The kernel has been rebased to Linux 6.12.34, bringing improved hardware support, performance, and security enhancements. GCC, IPFire's main compiler suite, has been updated to version 15. WireGuard connections are now displayed on the dashboard of the web user interface, making it easier to monitor VPN connections. Performance improvements from Linux 6.13 have been backported to IPFire's kernel, increasing TCP throughput over WireGuard tunnels. Researchers from Italy have also removed bottlenecks in the kernel that have limited throughput over multiple WireGuard tunnels. The text console has been modernized by migrating it to use the Linux Direct Rendering Manager (DRM), providing faster mode-setting, improved performance, and better support for multi-GPU and embedded graphics environments.
