Drawbridge Changelog

What's new in Drawbridge 4.0

Sep 3, 2009
  • The Drawbridge Manager application (dbmgr) has undergone some minor functionality changes. These changes deal mostly with the removal of commands and settings that are no longer needed for the netgraph port.
  • Support for syslog is available, but the syslog mask is now set at compile time and is not changeable. The syslog code is undergoing a major overhaul for the next release.
  • Ported to netgraph. The netgraph version of Drawbridge should work with FreeBSD version 3.4-RELEASE or higher, or any 4.x version of FreeBSD. It will not work with version 5.x of FreeBSD. A version of Drawbridge for FreeBSD 5.x will be released soon.
  • Removed FDDI support. FDDI support has been removed from version 4.0.
  • Removed support for IP addresses on firewall interfaces. A typical Drawbridge box now requires 4 interfaces: inside, outside, mirror (optional), and management. This was done primarily for security reasons.
