IPFire 2.29 Core Update 204 is now available for testing, primarily addressing a DNS regression affecting VPN users that was introduced with the previous update. This update includes fixes for IPsec, WireGuard, and OpenVPN clients and integrates an advanced anti-phishing ruleset into the Suricata IPS. Additionally, it serves as a routine maintenance release, featuring a kernel rebasing to Linux 6.18.54 and various package updates, alongside fixes for a WireGuard bug and improvements for RISC-V builds. Testers are encouraged to verify VPN DNS resolution on non-production systems and report their findings through IPFire's Bugzilla tracker

IPFire 2.29 Core Update 204 for Testing Fixes VPN DNS Regression

IPFire 2.29 Core Update 204 has reached the testing stage, headlined by a fix for a DNS regression that Core Update's Knot Resolver migration left for VPN users. The build repairs broken name resolution for IPsec, WireGuard, and OpenVPN clients and adds Julio Lira's preemptive anti-phishing ruleset to the Suricata IPS. It's also a routine maintenance pass, rebasing the kernel to Linux 6.18.54, fixing a WireGuard multi-subnet import bug, and sweeping dozens of packages. As always, IPFire wants testers to verify VPN DNS resolution on non-production systems and report findings through its Bugzilla tracker.
