Please note the different update files for different Orbiter versions

To update an Orbiter running a 2.x or 3.0 release a special update file is required. It will perform two reboots, so the update will take longer than usual.

All firewall modules for handling specific application protocols (ALGs) disabled

The update will disable all firewall modules, supporting certain application protocols which are problematic for firewalls. The modules are not required for connections via VPN and are rarely used for direct Internet connections, so there should be no impact on most devices. If required you can re-enable the individual modules in the administration interface. Usually this will be limited to the protocols SIP or FTP.

Memory corruption in NSS crypto library

The library is used by IPsec. An unauthenticated attacker might be able to execute code.

Partition for temporary files full

A logfile filled the partition for temporary files over time. It was then no longer possible to login until the device was power-cycled.

DNS cache poisoning

The update includes a security fix for the DNS forwarder. It was possible for an attacker to place forged entries in the DNS cache.

System base

Linux kernel, system libraries and software has been updated.

Improved bandwidth management

With high bandwidth Internet connections the priority classes "low" and "standard" will now benefit from higher and more even throughput.

Crashes of systems with newest hardware generation

Systems running on the new hardware generation crashed due to a problem with the network device driver. Systems shipped since December 2017 are affected.

DHCP/DNS server

In release 3.1.3 the DHCP/DNS server didn't start after a reboot on some systems.
Depending on the VPN configuration, DHCP requests have not been routed into the VPN tunnel in DHCP relay mode.

Connection problems with DS-Lite

DNS server

Several security vulnerabilities have been fixed in the DNS server. As remote code execution is possible in the worst case we recommend to update quickly.

Access from LAN network

On devices configured for Internet access via VPN tunnel, it might no longer be possible to access to the device from the LAN. If you cannot access the administration interface from the LAN, please connect the browser to the external instead of the internal IP. Alternatively you can connect via VPN to the internal IP.

Web proxy

For security reasons we recommend to access the Internet via the VPN to the central firewall which ensures a higher level of protection by features like e.g. Intrusion Prevention and Content Filtering. However the transfer of large amounts of data as often required by updates for example may be challenging in this case. With this in mind we've integrated a web proxy which can be enabled and configured in the browsers or in software components used to manage updates. In the proxy configuration you can add servers the proxy should contact directly, so the corresponding traffic won't affect the central Internet connection. Connections to all other destinations will be forwarded to the central proxy.

System update

The system base and all core components have been updated.

VPN not working after reboot

A timing problem in the boot procedure could occur especially on VDSL dial-up lines. The VPN service wasn't initialized correctly then and the VPN didn't work.

IPv6 support

Internet access to administration interface

It is no longer necessary to configure a port forwarding rule. On the new tab "Internet administration" remote access can be configured more easily.

Internet access for guest LAN

The problem affects the separate guest LAN option which was introduced in 3.0.0. No NAT was applied to connections from the guest LAN to the Internet if an IPsec tunnel to any destination IP is configured. So Internet connections from the guest LAN ususally didn't work.

Pre-release

Version 3.0 is a pre-release. It's required for the new hardware delivered from mid-2015 on. There are no plan to provide an update from release series 2 to 3.0.

System update

The system base and all core components have been updated.

Two separate LAN networks

When delivered, the two LAN interfaces are still connected in bridge mode. But now it's also possible to get two separate interfaces instead. The interface in the middle can either be used as a second trusted network with potential access to the VPN (e.g. for VoIP) or it can be used as an isolated network which must neither access the VPN nor the administration interface (e.g. for guests or the private home network). On systems with WLAN support you can choose to which network the WLAN belongs.

Temporary logging to file

The log is kept in memory, so it used to be lost after a reboot. Now there's a new option which temporarily redirects the log to a file until the system is rebooted.

DHCP relay

As an alternative to the integrated DHCP server, the new DHCP relay option can be used to delegate the IP address assignment to a central DHCP server.

Configurable network card parameters

If it should be necessary to override autonegotiation, a static speed and duplex mode may now be configured.

Minor bugfixes and improvements
