OPNsense 16.7.2 released

[franco]

Hi everyone,

The release schedule is being stretched bit by bit to see how long we can go without an update. Well, we did not want to wait any longer to share with you the following bits... so here they are.

FreeBSD incorporated several reliability fixes for Hyper-V and we had to back out an ICMP stable commit that was not fully working for trace route output over the network. There are several important ports updates, namely Lighttpd, Strongswan and OpenSSH all brought to their latest versions.

On our side, multi-point VPN plugins have been corrected to properly group to their respective firewall rule interface. For anyone waiting to migrate their VPNs from 16.1.20 to 16.7, now is the time to do so! Also, the stale OpenVPN windows binaries have been removed. Note that we gracefully support configuration file export in several formats.

Here are the full patch notes:
