The recent update of OPNsense focuses on eliminating security vulnerabilities and enhancing firewall performance. Central to this update is the elimination of unsafe shell usage, which has historically led to various security problems. By addressing these issues, OPNsense boosts the firewall’s security posture, minimizing risks associated with shell command execution.
Additionally, improvements based on user feedback from the previous version have enhanced firewall live log capabilities, optimized data rendering, and reduced unnecessary host lookups. These changes provide network administrators with better tools for real-time traffic monitoring. The update also features crucial security upgrades to tools like Suricata and Unbound, ensuring enhanced intrusion detection and DNS security. Furthermore, a hotfix addresses synchronization issues for users operating multiple firewalls, ensuring smoother deployments.
