+ Completely redesigned the operation of outputting messages to the general work log window. At the same time, the number of recursive captures of synchronization mutexes has been reduced, and if message output is disabled or suppressed, this check is reduced to only accessing 2-3 atomic variables. This optimization may be less secure in some places compared to the previous version of the code. The number of message types for separating TCP/UDP/ICMP/ARP(ND)/DNS flows has been increased, message types can be configured in the protocol color mask setup window in the config. A context menu has been added to this window for the most common actions. Disabling the output of all message types works a little more effectively than the option to suppress message output in the general settings. + Added an option to force message output in special rule settings. If a message type is disabled in the protocol color mask setup window in the config, but enabled in the special rule settings, then messages are output for this rule. If message output is suppressed in the general settings window, this option has no effect. When output is suppressed, as before, only once every 4 seconds messages are displayed to indicate that the log is working. In the rules window for the special settings column, an item has been added to remove the flags for forced output of debug messages for all rules. + Formatted string generation functions have been slightly accelerated. + Other small optimizations. - Minor errors have been fixed.
08 Dec 2024
2.9.1
New Release
- Fixed a synchronization error in UDP packet processing that caused deadlocks of threads when the VPN client was running. - Fixed a printing error of network interface speed graphs on some monochrome printers, since, in particular, on the multifunctional device Avision AM33Q, the background color of the #FFFFEE graphs was printed black. + Accelerated work with string objects, increased the maximum length of short strings without additional memory allocation for these strings, reuse string objects without recreating in some cases of rewriting strings that fit in the old buffer, automatically reserve additional memory for strings in operator+=, etc. + Some other optimizations.
23 Nov 2024
2.8.9+
New Release
2.8.9+ - installer hotfix (support of Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6E AX211 160MHz) - turning off TaskOffload settings absent while "Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6E AX211 160MHz" driver setup.
17 Nov 2024
2.8.9
New Release
+ The server IP address has changed. Now, instead of 192.162.244.248, you need to specify 45.150.239.37 in the settings. + Updates in the used libraries to better comply with the C++23 standard and slightly speed up the work. Optimization of work with short strings (without allocating memory for short string data). + The "Record traffic" property in protocol filters and the "TCP Logger" filter for recording connection traffic to files. + Properties "Block specified commands" and "Allow FXP (inside LAN)" for the "FTP" filter. + Tests performed are shown the good results. - Minor bug fixes. + Some other safe optimizations.
25 Aug 2024

+ Small number of safe optimizations.
31 May 2024
2.8.6
New Release
+ Some number of safe optimization. - Minor bug fixes. Bug of strings constatnts of "Phonebook name" and "Log file name" swapped is fixed.
09 May 2024
2.8.5
New Release
+ The code of the ToolsLib library classes that work with the network has been updated to reduce the number of switching socket operating modes within one event processing cycle. This led to changes in the RusRoute firewall classes that use them, in particular, in the TCP proxy class (without filter) the handlers for receiving and sending data were completely rewritten. But this did not lead to a noticeable difference in data transfer speed characteristics and CPU load levels. + Several more efficient functions and methods of the case-insensitive string and substring comparison class in the ToolsLib library. Other changes in the ToolsLib library. + An analysis of false detections of RusRoute firewall files by anti-virus programs was carried out, as a result of which some old driver assemblies were removed from the distribution. But antiviruses still respond to the harmless program RRClient[64].exe, which can optionally be used on client PCs for a secure connection to the RusRoute firewall. + Added support for dynamic DNS IPv6. Option in RRGui[64].exe to use DDNS: IPv4/IPv6/IPv4 and IPv6/disabled. - Minor bug fixes.
20 Apr 2024
2.8.4
New Release
+ Improvements in the graphical interface: in some windows for selecting an element from the list, double-clicking is equivalent to selecting and clicking "OK", the ability to create a new user with the parameters of an existing one. + Minor changes to calls to some class methods in the updated version of the ToolsLib library.
07 Apr 2024
2.8.3
New Release
+ Minimal changes related to updating the ToolsLib library (working with files, xml documents, error handling) and supporting the current dump.csv file format (Roskomnadzor blacklist file). We also saved a little processor resources by eliminating unnecessary initializations of IPv6 address objects in the new version of the self-signed driver v.2.07-145 and the RusRoute firewall service and graphical applications.
25 Nov 2023
2.8.2
New Release
+ Minimal changes: minor bug fixes, minor GUI changes, improved socket timers, minor internal changes to working with text strings.
20 Oct 2023
2.8.1
New Release
+ Application level servers: multicast UDP proxies and FTP servers. + Comparison of Russian utf8 strings when sorting in most cases is carried out according to the rules of the Russian language, and not only by comparing character codes (the letter 'Ё' follows 'E'), with small time overhead. + Minor speed optimizations: most hash tables now use non-virtual hash functions; adapter names related hashing.
23 Sep 2023
2.7.7
New Release
- Fixed a bug in the self-signed driver of the previous version. The current version of the self-signed driver is 2.07-144 (see screenshot). + Work with xml documents has been accelerated: for identically equal strings (node names, attribute names and some values), only the values of their pointers are compared, which should lead to faster work with the configuration file, which stores all parameters and settings. This should lead to faster analysis of firewall rules when passing the first packets of connections, and to a higher frequency of processing of TCP/UDP connections. But frequency tests were not carried out, there are no comparative data, for TCP the frequency depends greatly on system factors.
20 Sep 2023
2.7.6
New Release
+ Minor optimization of the program: some doubly linked lists have been replaced with singly linked ones, including for IPv4/IPv6 routing tables and connection enumeration (working with singly linked lists is a little faster and the code is shorter), the number of calls to hash tables has been reduced, and work with xml documents has been slightly accelerated. * Traffic data is now retrieved from the driver every second, so user balances and log information are updated more dynamically. * The version of the self-signed driver has been updated.
12 Sep 2023
2.7.5
New Release
* Changed the multi-threaded configuration of the ToolsLib library. The global mutex of the library is made into a standard Win32 mutex. At the same time, the traffic graph has become smooth, the RusRoute firewall can handle a load of 1000+ Internet connections (500+ for every two IP addresses of the same server). The remaining library mutexes are fast mutexes and are used to synchronize relatively short operations (short-term access to global objects, in allocators). * Some minor improvements and code optimizations.
06 Sep 2023
2.7.4
New Release
* The stress test showed that with the number of constantly downloading connections over 500, the role of fast mutexes in RusRoute is leveled, on the contrary, due to the active waiting cycle of an atomic variable, they consume more (many) processor resources, which with an increased priority of the main processes RRSvc64.exe and RRGui64.exe lead to the degradation of the Windows operating system, the OS ceases to be responsive to user actions. Therefore, in this version, fast mutexes were left to be used only inside the ToolsLib library, and user code uses standard Win32 mutexes. But with this approach, the VPN speed decreased by about 25% (with fast mutexes, the speed was more than 200-250 mbps, with standard mutexes now - a little over 150-180 mbps). Stress test was done with 500-800 Internet connections (Internet connection 100 mbps). The VPN test was performed on a 1 gbps Ethernet local network, between two PCs with an Intel Core I7-7700K CPU, Intel Z270 chipsets. - Previous versions <= 2.7.3 can be used if you limit the maximum number of TCP connections in rules 6, 8, 11 according to the CPU power of your PC.
05 Sep 2023
2.7.3
New Release
* Internal optimizations, more safer code in terms of exceptions, changed work with string constants. + Speeding up the firewall by increasing the size of buffers up to 128 KB and reducing the call time of the send data function from receive function. + Additional standalone code in the string formation functions in the library. - Minor bugs сorrection.
27 Aug 2023
2.7.2
New Release
* Updated some classes and containers, for example, those working with MAC addresses and socket priority queues. * Some functions and methods have been modified and/or marked as noexcept. * In some functions and methods, the generation of exceptions is suppressed. - A fix has been made at the library level, without which there were long delays before processing the web api. * Small changes in the self-signed driver.
10 Aug 2023
2.7.1
New Release
* Changes in the installer. + Pure 64-bit installer to reduce antivirus false actions. + Detection of Windows versions using the RtlGetVersion() function. + Detection of Windows 10 x64 to install the latest versions of self-signed drivers directly from the installer. - The installer also contains 32-bit components. To install on a 32-bit OS, you can use WinRAR to unpack the SFX-archive to the C:\RusRoute directory and run "installer.exe /install".
05 Aug 2023
2.6.4
New Release
+ Fixed bug in HTTP caching. + Increased the limit for the maximum allowed value of max-age HTTP caching to 365 days (previously this limit was 24 hours). + Now, when increasing the size of the HTTP cache file, the file is not cleared (objects remain in the cache).
29 Jul 2023
2.6.3
New Release
+ Fixed several bugs in HTTP caching. + Ability to cache large files over HTTP, up to almost 2^63 bytes long. You can, for example, cache the download of the official image of Windows 10, and then quickly download it again from the cache, at a speed of more than 1 Gbits / s. + Better compliance with HTTP caching standards, caching is enabled not only by the If-Modified-Since: field, but also when the Cache-Control: max-age=NNNNN option is active, etc. * In the properties of the adapters, the display of graphs of speeds with a scale of 1 Mbits / s = 1000 Kbits / s (previously the coefficients were the powers of 1024). + Speedup of working with synchronization objects (mutexes).
23 Jul 2023
2.6.2
New Release
+ Small changes in the libraries used. + 2.6.119 version of self-signed 2023' year driver in Data\2023-self_signed_2.6.119_win10x64 for manual install. - 32 bits drivers will be not, we are preparing for making only x64 setups, for Windows 10 and later.
