Software update: OPNsense 21.1.6

Spread the love

The OPNsense package is a firewall with extensive capabilities. It is based on the FreeBSD operating system and is originally a fork of m0n0wall and pfSense. The package can be set up completely via a web interface and has support for 2fa, openvpn, ipsec, carp and captive portal, among others. In addition, it can apply packet filtering and has a traffic shaper . The developers have released OPNsense 21.1.6 with the following announcement:

OPNsense 21.1.6 released

With a bit of delay we bring to you the usual mix of security and reliability updates. It is of note that the OpenVPN advisory tracked as CVE-2020-15078 does not affect the provided version 2.4.11, but the security audit will falsely flag it as vulnerable because the source of the audit is FreeBSD where OpenVPN was migrated to 2.5 series already.

Plans for upcoming 21.1.x versions include a swift Phalcon 4 migration as well as Python 3.8 and PHP 7.4 updates.
