Linux: AirVPN Suite 2.2.0 available

[Staff 10691]

Hello!

We're very glad to inform you that AirVPN Suite version 2.2.0 is now available for x86-64 and ARM based Linux systems. This is a maintenance and security hardening release focused on the traffic split infrastructure.

The 2.2.0 Suite includes:

• Bluetit: lightweight, ultra-fast D-Bus controlled system daemon providing full connectivity and integration to AirVPN servers, or generic OpenVPN and WireGuard servers. Bluetit can also enforce Network Lock and/or connect the system to AirVPN during the system bootstrap
• Goldcrest: Bluetit client, allowing full integration with AirVPN servers, users, keys, profiles as well as generic OpenVPN and WireGuard servers
• Hummingbird: lightweight and standalone binary for generic OpenVPN and WireGuard server connections
• Cuckoo: traffic split manager, granting full access and functionality to AirVPN's traffic split infrastructure
• airsu: a "run and forget" tool to automatically set and enable the user environment for the X.Org or Wayland based ecosystem without any user input

 

WHAT'S NEW

• NEW: Cuckoo security hardening: namespace directories are now opened with additional ownership and permission checks
• NEW: once root privileges have been dropped, Cuckoo can no longer regain them (no_new_privs is now set)
• NEW: traffic split namespace names are now validated by both Bluetit (trafficsplitnamespace run control directive) and Cuckoo, and are limited to 32 characters
• WireGuard and network namespace runtime directories now use /run/wireguard and /run/netns (legacy /var paths removed)
• improved POSIX compliance of the installation script

Please note: if you have set a custom trafficsplitnamespace longer than 32 characters, you need to shorten it before upgrading.
