OPNsense 19.1 released

[franco]

Hi there,

For more than four years now, OPNsense is driving innovation through modularising and hardening the open source firewall, with simple and reliable firmware upgrades, multi-language support, HardenedBSD security, fast adoption of upstream software updates as well as clear and stable 2-Clause BSD licensing.

The 19.1 release, nicknamed "Inspiring Iguana", consists of a total of 620 individual changes since 18.7 came out 6 months ago, spread out over 12 intermediate releases including the recent release candidates. That is the average of 2 stable releases per month, security updates and important bug fixes included! If we had to pick a few highlights it would be: The firewall alias API is finally in place. The migration to HardenedBSD 11.2 has been completed. 2FA now works with a remote LDAP / local TOTP combination. And the OpenVPN client export was rewritten for full API support as well.

Download links, an installation guide[1] and the checksums for the images can be found below as well.

Migration notes and minor incompatibilities to look out for:

o Gateway health graphs may need a manual reset due to the Apinger to Dpinger migration. Apinger is no longer available.
o Intrusion detection GeoIP rules are automatically deactivated and need to be manually migrated to firewall alias GeoIP.
o Quagga plugin has been superseded by FRR plugin. A binary quagga package has been conserved for the time being.
o Please read the FRR documentation with regard to the required system tunables[8].
o Bhyve UEFI boot may fail as a guest. The problem is being investigated.
o SNMP plugin has been superseded by Net-SNMP plugin.
