14 DAY TRIAL // Michael Tremer, developer for ipfire.org team, has just announced IPFire 2.11, a new stable release of the popular a Linux-based firewall distribution.
The first IPFire in the 2.x series was released four years ago and each version since then came with substantial changes and lots of new features.
The biggest new feature in IPFire 2.11 is the option to create net-to-net VPNs with OpenVPN. Unfortunately, until now, according to the developers, it was only possible to use OpenVPN to create roadwarrior networks.
The ipfire.org team chose to keep the easiness of configuring VPN tunnels by just sending configuration archives in ZIP format.
IPsec-VPNs now supports the IKEv2 protocol which allows a more secure, faster and easier connection of the tunnels. It's also capable of creating IPsec VPNs through Carrier NAT.
