Changelog
All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
[2.23.0] - 2025.02.25 [Supported]
Changed
NetFilter SDK driver is now optional during the service installation, new
-netfiltercommand line argument was added. See the command line arguments article.
NOTE: Now the users need to specify the NetFilter SDK driver name during the service installation name in the -netfilter command line argument instead of passing it to the Initialize method. If the -netfilter command line argument is not specified, some firewall VPN SDK features (like route via VPN and bypass) will not work.
