Orbiter 3.1.5
Access data
The download is password protected. Please enter the support IP of the corresponding DEFENDO as username (e.g. 172.18.253.15) and its hardware ID as password (e.g. 473I-QN34-O@:5).
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.
New tabs in menu "Monitoring"
On one of the tabs the current VPN server certificate and the corresponding CA certificate is shown. The other tab shows information
fromt he system level which might be helpful in case of technical problems.

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.

WLAN
The WLAN status and the list of associated clients wasn't displayed in release 3.1.1.

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.
