Announcement: Endian Firewall Community 2.3rc1

[Christian Graffer-2]

Hello everybody,

Although it has been a while since our last official statement we never
stopped working on a new release in the background. Today I have good
news for you!

I am proud to announce the first release candidate of our Endian
Firewall Community 2.3 which is now available at:

http://www.endian.com/en/community/download/

Please remember that this is not the final release. Therefore do not use
it in production environments unless you know what you are doing. Should
you find any bugs do not hesitate and add them to our bugtracker at
http://bugs.endian.com/ *AFTER* you have made sure that the bug has not
been reported already.

This release includes many features that were previously available only
to users of the Enterprise version as well as some completely new
features. These new EFW Community features are:

** Backups
Backups can now be stored to and recovered from attached USB mass
storage devices. It is also possible to schedule automatic backups and
to send encrypted backups via email.

** Dashboard
The main page has been replaced by a dashboard with statistics about the
system and its services as well as live-graphs for incoming and outgoing
traffic.

** Email notifications
Emails can be sent automatically for predefined events.

** HTTP proxy time based access control
With the new interface it is possible to add time based access control
lists for the HTTP proxy.

** HTTP proxy with user- and group-based content filtering
The HTTP proxy now has a new and polished web interface that adds the
possibility to create group based content filters.

** Intrusion Prevention
Snort rules can now be configured. It is possible to drop packets as
well as to log intrusion attempts.

** Policy routing
Routing rules can be created based on the interface, MAC address,
protocol or port of a packet.

** Port forwarding rewrite
In version 2.3 it is possible to add port-forwards from any zone (only
from the RED zone previously). Port forwarding without NAT is now also
supported.

** Quality of Service
Traffic Shaping has been replaced by a fully configurable Quality of
Service module. QoS devices, classes and rules can be defined.

** SNMP support
Basic SNMP support has been added.

** SMTP proxy web interface rewrite
The web interface of the SMTP proxy has been rewritten with focus on
usability.

** VLAN support (IEEE 802.1Q trunking)
It is now possible to create VLANs on every interface. The VLAN
interfaces can be used to distinguish connections in the same zone.


Enjoy the release!
Christian and the whole Endian team

Christian,

Does 2.3rc1 restore hiddev support (last seen in 2.1.x)?
Without it hiddev, it is very hard to support UPS monitoring
and automated shutdown in the case of power loss.

Thanks,

Igor

Christian,

What great news.

I just hope the final version will not take as much as it took a 2.2.

Congratulations to all staff.

Christian,

Is there a way to upgrade without a reinstall?

Thanks,

can't configure it :(

Thank you for this distro. It is great! And I have *never* rebooted
since I installed months ago. I even FORGOT I had the Endian firewall up
and running, because it's not even part of my daily routine, (which is a
good thing!).

What I would like to know, is how can I upgrade when the new version is
ready, without having to do a complete reinstall?

Go to http://www.endian.com/en/community/efw-updates/ and register,  
then you will receive an email with simple steps on how to upgrade  
your machine via ssh.  Easy.  I did this from 2.1 to 2.2 and I was up  
and running again in half-hour.

Oh no, half an hour downtime? It might not sound like much, but we can't
have that at all! I will have to time it, maybe do it very early one
morning, before everyone comes in.

I will start a new thread with my other questions!

Hi Christian,

thanks for the ongoing work, it looks really nice. I hope it will be stable for production soon, we're waiting for the next version to update our XEN-Servers with the XENified (paravirtualised) version of EFW 2.3.
There is a community using EFW on XEN  (with ctserver from c't/heise or on plain debian XEN servers) here in Germany as you already know. We're actually using my efw-xen kernel 2.6.21 (kernel-xen-2.6.21.7-2.neobiker.i686.efw22.rpm) or even the actual Debain Lenny XEN Kernel to use EFW in a XEN DomU.

Installation from ISO as HVM and integration the XEN-Kernel's to use it afterwords as PV-DomU worked like a charm.

Greetings from Neobiker (Jens Friedrich from the EFW credits note)

That sounds great. Are you able to install the tools from the xs-tools.iso? I have efw running happily on two xenservers, even without a xen kernel.

Any interest in kvm in redhat/centos 5.4 when it gets here?

Thanks

Do you mean the Citrix XENServer products? We're using Debian, not Citrix xenserver. Also, we're using EFW mostly in a PV-DomU (some with PCI-delegation for the network cards), not HVM like xenserver has to do. With a lot of tricks, it would be possible to create a pv-efw with xenserver, but this is unsupported.

Oh. Well, theres Xen, and theres xenserver from Citrix.
That's what I thought you meant. Sorry...
