Linux: AirVPN Suite 2.2.0 available

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

 

• 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.

AirVPN Suite 2.2.0 is free and open source software released under GPLv3. Source code is available on GitLab:
