Hello Community,

Today we are proud to announce the release 2.3 of Endian UTM Appliances and Endian Firewall Community. This release includes many features that were previously available only to users of the Enterprise release as well as some completely new features. Some highlights of this release:

  • 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    The main page has been replaced by a dashboard with statistics about the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 and Bandwidth Management
    Traffic Shaping has been replaced by a fully configurable Quality of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.

We hope you enjoy the release!
