Notes

Additional software: Bitdefender - pattern update after commissioning

After starting up the Collax Antivirus powered by Bitdefender module, it may take a few minutes for the current virus patterns to be downloaded. If you click on Update Bitdefender in the virus scanner form during this time, you will receive an error message “Error connecting to server at /opt/lib/bitdefender//bdamsocket: -3”, because the background process has not yet been fully executed.

GUI: Sporadic hangs during running jobs

The progress of configuration jobs is displayed in the top right-hand corner of the web administration. In the case of extensive changes in the network area, especially with country locks (geo-ip), it can happen in rare cases that the job display hangs during activation. As of release 7.2.28, you will now receive the message “Network connection has been interrupted: Messages may be lost until the connection can be re-established.” informs you about such situations.

VPN: Fix for IKEv2 with Microsoft Windows crashes after 7.6 hours

VPN connections with IKEv2 and the on-board tools of Microsoft Windows are interrupted after interrupted after exactly 7.6 hours. The error occurs because Microsoft Windows proposes different algorithms during the IKE re-encryption than during the first connection. The problem can be solved with a registry fix by the value “NegotiateDH2048_AES256” under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\RasMan\Parameters to 1 is set.

Under the following link you will find a REG file (registry entry) that adds the registry key. Collax accepts no liability for system errors resulting from this.
